Yeah, and I was quick to point out that we were playing tag on the freeway from Tucson to Phoenix and I didn't win every 60-80 mph romp. But eventually there was a big section of open road and he was in front of me, I took off, went around him and out-pulled him. I hit the top of 4th gear as I pulled next to him, and then pulled in 5th gear to about 130 before I had my rear to his front, and 140mph before it was decisive enough to call a victory by a couple car lengths. I know its on a public road; sorry, but it was empty...and we've all done it at least once. Arizona has wide open spaces with smooth roads.
I'll say this much, rolling down the expressway our cars are just about equal, but I had just a little more power. It was argued, etc. that the car was sick, whatever. That car wasn't hurting...it looked totally stock, but it wasn't running bad.  I realized that when he first took off and I was eating tail lights. The only thing that lends some credibility was that I was on my way to the dyno at streetflight that day. I was actually on the cell phone with Keyser and DDavis as I was excitedly talking about how this buick was screwing with me.
You definitely have the edge at those speeds... GNâ??s are bricks. From a dig they are FAST and consistent though. During 140 and talking on a cell phone is a little nutty though
