Thumbs down Does one need more than 317RWHP

Alrighty then........................

driving on the highway after enjoying some deeeeelish ice cream, I am top down enjoying the drive when up from behind a red GTO with a very loud dual shiney exhuast, he cuts me off (not to be a dick but to attempt to show me his car is faster, or so he thinks) he is in front and he hits it, I follow and to my surprise I am right there with him, and pulling......... traffic comes up and I back off. We come to a light it goes 3 into 1 and the far right lane is turning only. I want to follow him so I follow him and when the light turns green he lights up and cuts everyone off. I am not about to cause an accident or get arrested so I file my way back into traffic and catch up to him

He downshifts, I downshift (50mph) he is at my door, he hits it, I hit it a fraction of a second later, he pulls even with me, I upshift I stop his pull and by 100mph he is back at the middle of my door and I shut it down.............satisfied I was faster

He pulls up after and gives me the thumbs up I do the same and I am off

Though I don't know what he had done, he had t least a full exhaust and by the sound of him at low low speed he did not appear to have any cats, his back bumper was very dirty and it sounded very "burbely", like a boat Test pipe maybe?

Then as I turn around I see ( I have seen this car in Freehold, NJ before) a kind of ugly Teal Blue Lamborghini Murcialago pulled over by a cop ( I have seen this car many times before he has stupid stickers on it and black wheels its actually very tacky.............the blue is so ugly

I am going with a bigger turbo, but this Greddy Kit is really amazing for street type of fun. I am tempted to go on a another dyno because my kill list is getting long for 317 RWHP, car has been running great lately

Nice. Even stock GTOs are sedans that can terrify many.

Can you post your kill list again for 317 whp? I know it was pretty big.

Thanks

Nice work.

I've found that 300whp is 'just right' for me. But, my car is not obviously boosted and I never instigate races. So, it gives me enough power to surprise the usual street racers that want to show they're as fast as a stock S2000.

that "burbely" sound may have meant that he had a very aggresive cam in it...
good kill none the less, when i had my z28 i spanked one
