Default mach 1 goes down

i was driving my gto with a friend and his girl and as i turned the corner i notice this mustang riding me me close so i get on it as i grab second he's still on my bumper i grab 3 and finally i start to walk away from him, i ran it to 120 and i had about 2 cars on him before he slowed. as we come to the light, he would not look at me for nothing, my buddy was like oh he's pissed as we turned the corner thats when i noticed the mach 1 on the back, i pull along side he, he puched it but lost traction (around 25 mph) and i killed him again, he quit trying after that. whats the top speed on those mach 1's. the race was on hwy 4 bypass, about 3 miles long.

Top speed is electronically limited to 151. I hope to run into an 05 GTO soon, I would love to show him my taillights.

a.) The Mach 1 is electronically limited to 151.....

b.) The 05 GTO is an LS2, not an LS1

I've personally done 165, But don't recommend doing that on highways like I did.

Not bragging, just stating LS1's can go faster than 160.

I love the classic mid-life crisis driver. Quote from one..."You think your firebird can take my (stock) C5?!?!"

The last (5) LS1 cars I've raced at the track for starters.

Oh, and the 1st (4) I raced at the track when I was stock & slightly modded.

I've lost to modded LS1 cars to be sure, but I've also won lots of encounters as well...
