Your car at 70mph in 5th gear is a roach...as are most cars at 70mph
in 5th gear. You have a pretty quick ride, but 5th gear?
Sounds extremely questionable to me.

correct. if the driver of the gto,( which you assume is stock) downshifted to the proper gear then it would have been close not toying with him.

Simple solution: Post up a dyno sheet and we'll compare your 5th gear 70mph RPM/power to that of a GTO in the proper racing gear at 70mph. My dad has a bone stock 5.7 GTO (just a B&M Ripper shifter and nothing else), so I can probably post that up for the comparison. Or we can find one online.
My guess is suddenly you won't have access to a scanner or you'll have lost your dyno sheet, because 5th gear sounds pretty questionable to me, as well. Or maybe you'll prove all of us wrong.

You never Dyno in 5th, so it won't show anything. The car does have 4.10's which makes a difference in 5th. Does not pull like 4th, but a lot harder in 5th than a stock SS in 4th.

Ok lets just admit the truth, no way did this event happen. And to the OP good for you and your friends who would laugh at 630rwhp, I have a friend with a low 8 second foxbody, a friend of a friend with a 7 second supra (google Boost Logic if you doubt me), and my dad's cobra which makes hundreds of horsepower more than me at the wheel.
What was the point you were trying to make?
