Default Raced a LS2 GTO from a Roll

Nothing crazy but on the way home from the pike, i.e. on the freeway. I was just cruising, 60 mph with the t-tops off just chillin. All of a sudden to my left a Dark (prob Black) 05-06 GTO blares by me quickly but then kinda slows down. But not slow enough to indicate he wants to run. I saw some 6.0L badges.

I decided to say **** it and followed.

I got a flat, straight section, I pulled up slowly, in 4th gear at around 70 and I gave him the wave to go 1st. As soon as I heard it hit, I punched, I pulled a car then slowly pulled a another half. I could see his heads lights in my rear view mirrors.

The race went from about 4k rpms in 5th, revved to about 6k and a lil into 5th, then I let off. I gave him the thumbs up, he kinda just kept going. I wanted to see what he had done, he didnt want to stop. He had I think one passanger, windows rolled up and at least an exhaust. who knows what else.

Just kinda nice to get a kill here and there. My clutch definitly was a lil softer after but then firmed up on its own with in 30 seconds after the race. I am going now chill on doing these sort of races. Spec 3+ here I come.

No offense, but it seems like both of you guys can't drive! If you were at 70mph you should of been in 3rd and since you pulled him while you were in 4th then he couldn't drive either....anyway good kill!

I Have 4.11's and your a Dumbass to think that.

There was a lil traffic behind us, my exit was coming up I couldnt exactly negotiate a lower mph to start the run, he was driving 70 and I had to match him.

Keep your good kill, I dont need it.

Ok, that's actually pretty funny. My friend lived there for a couple months and told me it was the most gay people he'd ever seen in one area.

I also would have went into 3rd gear at 70mph, even with the stock limiter and 4.11's.

What does me being on the other side of the US have anything to do with it? I was just putting my opinion out there....SH*T I didn't know you had 4.11's anyway. Like I said there's no need to get all sensitive!

With a stock T56 and 4.11 gears, 70 mph in third would put you at about 4850 RPM and fourth would put you under 4000 RPM (in the 3850 range, maybe slightly more, but a significant amount under 4000). Although I second guessed myself on Fbody.com, I did the research and take that back. I would have gone with third even with the 4.11 and stock rev limiter.

SSmokin99, Aaron's a great guy and I think he probably just took offense to the "you don't know how to drive comment". It sounds a little harsh.

Aaron, it's your car and it was your call, you still got the win, but I would have gone with third.

Hey man, no biggie, I just didnt like the "didnt know how to drive" comment, I was looking at my tach @ 70 and I thought 3rd would have had it near red line.

My bad for being overreactive.

No harm, no foul
