nice day
It was a beautiful day and I was out for a nice afternoon drive with my top down.
A small car pulls up on my left and reves up at about 55mph. I do not know what it was
but it had a cool exhaust sound..So I pulled in my paddles and reved mine up
some...Well he then steps on his and pulls ahead about 20 feet. It kind of got me off
guard so I let him pass on by..We were doing about 60 mph..
Well I looked around and saw no one close so I nailed her to the floor...WOW....Its
been a while since I nailed her and at about 85mph I could feel the front seem to just
lift up some but very stable and complete control...I had forgotten that feeling but loved it..at about 92mph I cut her
back and had left this guy in the dust..I felt a chill and the rush was amazing...Thank
goodness no cops..I reviewed the pdf later on..It was in 4th gear at 92 and pulling
hard..Reved to the max....
What a feeling I had for the rest of the afternoon..
Just wanted to share...

psh no fun squad pls go. If there's nobody around then rip it. You did the right thing op. No sense in having 500 horseponies if you dont let them run every so often.

Gotta love the anti-fun patrol and the "OMG GM built the greatest machine ever invented don't mod it" groups!
i.e. the guys who are busy trying to justify their boring lives but don't want anyone else actually living what they dream of...

Well, you can do what you want, and it’s all fun - until the unexpected happens while street racing. Say I am a party pooper or whatever, but there are appropriate places to let the 495 ponies loose. JMHO.
