I was cruising down the freeway thursday night and saw a white GT get on the entrance ramp.  He pulled up on me quick, lined up... I figured he wanted to race so I dropped to third and pulled him by 2 1/2 cars the first time.  He tried again and got him by nearly 4 cars.  I slowed down to see if he wanted more and sure enough, got him by 4 cars again.  It looked to be a 4.6 car, he at least had exhaust mods... dunno what else.  The funny thing is that he had blue flames painted down the side.  I guess he thought that made him faster!  And to beat all, he did a classic "ricer" fly-by!  Damn those 4.6's are slow.  I haven't done anything to my car yet........

Advanced timing, no cats, cold air...that's doing 'something' to your car ;)


You weigh alittle less too. Don't get too confident, the embarassment you would get from a 99+ GT 5 Speed would shock you.


Good kill! And you can say the 'early' 4.6's sucked.

Oh I'm not getting confident.... just surprised that I got him that bad.  I also beat a 6 speed formula on the freeway too.  That surprised me as well.  I owned a '94 Trans Am before this car, I didn't think I could get him.

Yeah, those early LT1's are hole-shot cars, not much of a freeway warrior, good kill none the less!

LT1's aren't anything like the LS1's. They are far better off the line than they are after 50-60 mph.

I have the opposite feeling, my car pulls just as hard in 3rd gear from 60-110 as it does from a stop. And the whole launching w/o spinning and/or breaking things, is nearly impossible in our cars. I only said 110 b/c thats about when 4th tacks out on my car and I usually don't go over that, I have some problems with police.....they don't like me.

Love the superior grammar skills When you make fun of someone, be sure you can communicate on a high school level.

ok, anyway... nice kill on the GT.  All the ones I've raced, I've beaten too (they were all stock or very close to it)
