Run in with a Transam

[Peter]

Nice late model Transam with the big nostrils pulls behind me at a light, the last one before the highway. We are side by side on the highway I get down to second, I looked over for a signal from him but he was busy screwing around with the gear he wanted to be in. We hit it and I pulled on him 2 cars off the bat, I think he screwed up. I slowed up to wait for him but he slinked off at the exit ramp. My only guess is that he was shocked at how strong the Mach1 was.

Nice kill. I think it was an Auto T/A and he couldnt get it to down shift to the gear he wants. That explains the 2 cars lead for u I remember racing a MACH 1 when i had only 325rwhp 336rwtq(Lid, and Catback only) we went from 60-155mph and i pulled a good 4 cars on him. We also passed a cop that was facing the other side of the highway, but lucky us he couldnt tell what passed him

I wanted to give him another run, but he got off at the exit. You are probably right about it being an automatic.
