Default Nothing Special but my first :D

as much as i drive my camaro, and as many ricers, mustang, and fellow f-body guys are around where i am. ive never had the opportunity to pull along someone and get some good runs in. its been pissing me off quite alot. but today i decided to just go for a nice drive. i wasnt looking for anything, just a long 100 mile cruise like ive been doing recently. i was south on 87 when an all black TL pulled along side of me. my heart sped up along with my engine as i dropped it down into 4th at 60 to see what he wanted to do. i gave it alittle goose to see if he was hooked. he sure was! just after i came off the gas he floored it! he pulled pretty well. but my 94 Z pulled just a tiny bit better. i matched his speed around 80 and passed him before i topped out 4th. i was Stoked! but i wanted more! i slow down to around 50 and he does the same, this time i put her in 3rd and give it 2 honks. i let him go first but it was pointless. i pulled right past him in 3rd at that speed and when i shifted it into 4th i was atleast a cars length on him. by the time i shut down around 100 the gap was more like afew buses! the joy couldnt be contained and we had only about 2-3 miles before we hit the toll booths where i knew there would be some form of police. this time i told him to slow it down even more and i drop it into 2nd at 40. the two guys in the car were really cool giving me the thumbs up and laughing from probably how deaf they were going when i blew passed them with their windows down again i let him get the jump and yet again it was pointless but Fun as hell! in 2nd gear my car pulled like a raped ape up through 4th when i shut down around 80. it had seemed he didnt even punch it but he certainly did when we parted ways at the toll booth they honked and waved and i returned the favor. it was a great night. i really needed it to boost my moral. ive been depressed and this was a great remedy! sorry for the long post for not that special of a race for most. but it was for me!

Good freeway rolls with a cool driver always gets the blood pumping good kill OP I've been in a 2007 TL-S under WOT Nice car pulls okay for a 6cyl but is more smooth and luxerious than fast especially for a LT/LS... I can say that bitch was smooth as glass at 120mph though! I have not had a good run in forever also, **** I'd kill a yugo right now if he wanted to go!

You prolly want to mess with a 2009 TL! I think the new ones are ugly as hell but they are as quick as the 2007 TLtypeS's.... Or try and find a 2005 TL-aspec! they are a little faster the the type-s's! The 2004 - 2008 Tl's are VERY sexy, to bad they have almost NOTHING performance wise that you can do other then drop a few g's on a supercharger that only adds a max of 80hp to the crank!!!!

A good kill always cures all. I know how you feel been on plenty of kill cruises myself.

Very Very sexy cars, My mom (Let me remind you I'm 18 lol and 17 at the time) Had a 2005 TL with the v6 3.2L Vtec with K&N and Custom Exhaust, It ran very high 13's until about 40k on it haha Ate the rings up fast. Man oh Man i would buy one of those in a heart beat, you can fly down the freeway at 120 and not even notice it. The fastest i ever took it was 140, and the damn sunroof thingy visor ripped of haha scared the **** out of me.

lol.... I'd take an F-body over a TL ANY DAY!!! The TL's just dont have enough that you can do to them... If you get a LS2 swaped Impala, that is gonna be sick!!!
