Default know anyone with a TA around hendo that can do 175mph in 4th?

I was in animal supply house today... I was looking for something for my dog when this nerdy guy comes up to me and asks, "Is that your Trans Am out there?" I say, "yeah" he then says "cool, my friend has a Trans Am and we were on I-25 last night doing 175 in 4th gear!!!! in the rain!" I politely say, "Thats cool..." he then walks off and I think to myself, WHAT A DUMBASS Does he think I am THAT dumb I should have educated his *** Boy would he have looked REAL dumb...

since it is impossible for a 3.42 car to go 175 in 4th, it is end of story, next time tell him that.

I know of a couple that might say something like that. One is a college age kid with a 2000 NBM Special Edition Ram Air. Nice guy, but hard on his car.

If she had said Camaro AND dry roads, I would have known exactly who she was talking about.
I know of a Firehawk that went 146 in 3rd gear, and still had another gear to go. lol
