Default Great run against LS1 TA

Not really a kill but had a great run against an LS1 TA. Was cruising in my Camaro(see sig) when i noticed a 00(?) TA take off after a Cobra. I decided to take off after them and see where i stood with the new motor. Well the Cobra wouldnt race the TA and turned and ran. By the way this TA had primer everywhere,passenger side repaired, and was missing the whole rear bumper. I figured what the heck ill try it. We get on I-26 and i get beside him...we slow to about 30mph and gun it. I break loose spinning some and he jumps about 1/2 car ahead and once i catch traction we're door to door again. I caught 2nd and got a nose out front then everytime he shifted he got about 1-2 foot on me. We ended up with me running out of gear with us door to door at around 140-150...not sure cause my speedo was gone. Got back to town and parked guys told me he had heads/cam/intake..very good tune and was a 6 speed with 3.42's. Was great run...cant wait to try again once we get the motor tuned,ign box in and put it on a diet.
