Default Ran a T/A in the GTO yesterday.

Was coming home from my wifes moms yesterday and ran into a T/A on the highway. He ran past at WOT instead of starting a normal run. Then he slowed way done so I would pull up next to him. Well I figured I run him even though I knew I would lose because I could hear he had headers and exhaust atleast. Anyway we hit it at about 70 in third and he slowly got a small lead, he hit ti first no honking or anything. He kept that small lead until I hit 4th and he slowly started pulling foward and when he got about a car out I let out knowing I wasnt running him down and we were in the 100s so I ddint see the point. Well I pull up next to him give him a thumbs up and he look over with this smirk like he had accomplished some incredible feat and asked me if I was stock. I told him yeah and he just went on, no thumbs up thanks or nothing. MY wife told me that the guy was a ******* dick, I LOLed and agreed. She said we did pretty good to be stock and him have mods. I said yep and went on home.............

Yeah Im waiting atleast until headers before I get it tuned. I know the tune is what makes these cars slower than they should be.

Good run! I'd rather have a close race and lose than destroy someone. How long before you get some new mods on it?

Goes both ways... that's the most redundant statement I've seen this year.

Well considering you're stock and you had your wife(weight) with you I'd say you did pretty good.
