Default first real kill....modded GNX

well i'm new to the C5 realm and after many kills in a modded twin turbo 3000gt i finally caught one in my black targa top. I saw a all black old style buick from a distance around my town and was pretty sure off hand that it could be a grand national. I happened to be going the same way as the car and when we were on the exit ramp to a local highway i saw that it was a GNX. I love the car and frankly have a ton of respect for it because i know what they can do. I saw a roll cage inside the car and could hear the turbo whinning and the car camming from inside my car so i pretty much knew he was gonna be fast. We got on the express way and he nodded and i dropped the throttle in 3rd on an open stretch of road. I pulled on him hard immediately and let off by the bottom of 4th because it was over...it was a memorable first kill and hopefully the begining of many to come

BTW i'm stock except Nitto 555Rs, Corsa Exhaust and Blackwing intake
