Default WTF I BEAT A TRANS AM!!!

Well I was going out with my girl saturday night and was stopped at a red light. I see this trans am behind me with a ws6 hood. I'm not sure what year though. The fog lights were in the middle if middle if that helps. Anyway's light turns green and i take off threw a short tunnel. This guys car sounded like crap. we get on the highway and I said to my girlfrind "im about to get my ass handed to me." He starts getting closer to me and then passes me up and starts weaving in and out of traffic. I was like wtf this isn't how to race. This isnt fuc*in rally racing. I hate people that do that. So I eventually caught up to him and ahead of us was about 1 mile of clear road which my exit was at the end of. I popped it in 3rd at about 70 or so and were off. He didnt pull at all we stayed even till like 90 and then i pulled slightly till about 120 were i was like 2 cars ahead. I was like there is something wrong here. I shouldn't have won. I know he was flooring it because it was loud as when he was flooring it earlier. Maybe it was a automatic and he had a bad shift point or something. It was a trans am though. It had the dual exhaust with 2 tips out each muffler. It was deep but soo soo raspy. Like someone on hear said before it was like a wet fart.

Who knows, anything can happen on the street. Might have been a 6'er though, my friend has a v6 bird with dual exhaust and a cutout, it's pretty loud.

What year GT you have?

My LS1 has fog lights in the middle. And even it was an LT1, he'd still need to be decently modd'ed. You're still comparing equal weight with the LT1 having more hp and more tq.

Yeah, it probably was a LS1 wannabe V6er posing as a V8. I'm sure you can get a WS6 hood for the V6 version......what are your mods???

If what you say really is accurate, then can you please list your mods?

Guys, I think it was a 96 because i did some googling and found one on there that was a 96 with the same hood and spoiler. I'm guessing it was a automatic i read they only have like 275 hp. I don't really have any mods except for my K&n and pro 5.0 shifter.
