Was cruising down Main Street with the wife the other day and a 06 Monte Carlo SS in the cobalt blue color pulls up next to me at a light. I could tell out of the corner of my eye that it was a young guy in the Monte Carlo and he was eyeing me like he was ready to race. I didn't want to be to obvious about racing so as to upset the wife so I slowly reached for the Stabilitrak button but did not stall up or turn off the a/c. As we left the light I did not floor it but steadily pressed on the gas so as to just stay ahead of the Monte, a win is a win right, and I didn't want to get in trouble. Well by the top of first I had the truck floored and the Monte continued to pull!! There was nothing I could do! By this time the jig was up and the wife new what I was doing, so I kept it floored up just a little past 60 and the Monte was still pulling, pretty good, as a matter of fact. Needless to say, I was very surprised as they are estimated at a 6.1 sec. 0-60 with a 14.3 quarter mile.

Next time I'll be looking for him with the climate control off and I'll be ready to stall it up . I have no doubt that he had it floored as soon as the turned green also. However, I was surprised at the rate that he continued to pull me at the top end. Those 5.3's must run pretty good.
