Default Hwy Racing!

So me and my wife stopped by walmart in Bryant tonight... After leaving, we were getting on I-30 going toward Little Rock... AS SOON AS I was getting on the on ramp, I saw light blue headlights on the ground, looked behind me and saw a PEWTER SS with a Berger panel(looked and sounded great!)... I get on the interstate and look in my rear view and I see "Firebird" headlights, so I thought to myself, "I bet thats a Formula!", which as you all know, is pretty rare... its usually a firebird! Anyways, I see the car behind me SHOOT to the far left lane, went around a semi, and it was a RED FIREHAWK FORMULA!
SEXY!
He pulls up next to the SS and I hear the SS down shift! So I sat up in my seat and tried keeping up(in a nissan xterra)! After a few seconds they HAMMERED IT! Slowly but surely the SS pulled away but DAMN me if both those cars weren't FAST!

I know I've seen the firehawk formula on the board often...
Never seen the SS...

Its only a few weeks before I get my 3rd Fbody, and everytime I see something like this, It reminds me why I love my cars so much!

I WANT TO SEE MORE!

Oops, are those tailights ahead of you ? I'll take that into account next time I'm in Georgia.

For the record, there was no traffic around!

OP, that was 99ngc00 and myself having a friendly little jaunt! He's a Procharged 6-speed and needless to say I never had much of a chance. But it sure is nice to watch his car in action . I wish he wasn't getting rid of it.

I try, but it was a futile effort. If I had the money, I'd buy the Procharger, swap in a PYE3600 and see how my car liked it.
