My car: 92 Vette auto stock 2:59 gears, no passenger, lid, longtubes/full exhaust, untuned, 315's
His: S197 GT 5 speed manual, one passenger, catback, K&N
So my neighbor/ distant friend has a nice looking and sounding S197 GT, I've always wanted to run him but I've never ran into him on the road. Yesterday as I'm driving past his house he revs at me, and I return the favor :devil:. I get to the lights and he happens to pull up next to me, and immediately asks me what it has under the hood. I gladly respond by saying its just an old LT1. He looks over to his passenger and smiles. He then asks me if its fast, I say "eh so so :secret:". I proceed to ask him his mods, he smiles and say "eh just a turbo" and bursts out laughing. He then says, "I'm just playing man, I have a K&N and Flowmaster catback."
Light turns green and we both take off normally. At around 15ish we both hit it. The LT1 torque immediately puts me about a car and a half out front. Second gear kicks in and I get squirrely, but still holding my lead. When we let out due to traffic, I was sitting about two cars out. We then get on the interstate and line up at 45. I honk it off and we both hit it. The LT1 screams and shuts that pony up. I immediately get a car on him, 80 comes around and I'm 3 cars out, the speedometer reads 109 and I'm holding my lead, 115 and I let out, with me still about 2.5 to 3 cars ahead. He pulls up and we both give thumbs up. :cool:
The mustang owner later told me that he will be installing 4:10's soon. I'm sure we will run them again when he does.
