But remember I slowed down at 100mph to see if his even trying and he WAS so when I stepped on it the car pulled like I was about to go back in time or something(from right under 100mph), he couldn't even pass me
Well the guy was driving a yellow GTO, so I don't feel bad... I bet he didn't even know what he was racing my stock srt-6 roadster made my day better
Very possible! My daughters 2000 C5 with a Vararam CAI and Cat-Back BBB Bullet exhuast was spanked by dad the ther day (my bad,,nit a good example huh?<G>)! She..and..I were surprised! In case ya'll missed my intro (new guy): I totalled a Lingenfelter 383 500HP Vette and bought a Pearl Aero Blue SRT6 ragtop with 4k on the Odo! I loved my last 2 Vettes..but Gawd..at times I really hated them too! I;ve had quite a few AMG's in the past, incl. a C43 AMG; C32 AMG; and last..an E55 AMG..till Vette fever took over! When I beat her from a dig she was really freaked out!<G> I really love being back in an AMG! Like driving a small bank vault filled with wonderfull sounding precision German machinery (I was born un Bremen Germany)! Good kill! Otto
