Default Had a run with a eagle talon

As I do every week I'm off I hit the highway and look for trouble. Well today I found a eagle talon. Looked pretty beat. Old white one with a huge fart can. I waited him to catch up to me and we rode even for a few secs. I hit it to let him know lets run so I let him catch back up again then around 70 we both hit it. I was shocked he kept up with me until 105. By 110 I put like 7-8cars on him right away. After that he dint bite again. I dint hear a turbo or anything because my bolra is pretty loud but he had to have something done to keep up from 70-105. My car is just borla exhaust, Lid, BBK Intake manifold. When he looked over as I started to pull he had a look on his face like he was in shock. Maybe he did have a turbo and dint really know how fast even stock LS1s can be. Mines a A4 (: I am going for long tubes in a few weeks (:

So the race was even until 105mph, then within the next 5mph of acceleration, you pulled 8 cars?

Are you sure he didn't let off?

By let off, I'm assuming you mean pull the e-brake/chute....

Yeah he probably let off at 105mph, but good run up till then.

1992TsiAWD, you wouldn't have been in Joliet about 2 months ago would you? I swear I saw a talon that looked dead on to yours and you know how hard it is to find one in decent shape.

Also our cars are pretty beast in top gear. I dont think he left off because he was still trying to catch up back there (;

No, that wasn't me.

When I go down to Chicago, you'll usually find me in the West Chicago/Schaumburg/Glendale Heights area...(best friend works at AMS).
