Default Me VS. Gto

so me and my friend were just cruzin around Castro Valley and being kinda bord and looking at how i had a full tank of gas wanted to go driving on Redwood Road in the back country kind of. For all of you who don't know this road is a pretty sweet road that Everyone and there mother race on with cars and bikes. as we were heading there we noticed a 5.7 Gto with strait pipes and later found out a k&n intake in front of us. He guns it all of a sudden, and me going 45 to 50 already did so also. now no effence to this guy but i knew i was going to kill this guy on this road becasue come on i have a s2k. so i stay back to see what he's got. He was trashen around these turn pretty fast. Really good for a big GTO. so me and my friend said "enough is enough" it was time to show him what Honda's could do. so i drop in to 2nd, my car blasting loud with my brand new invidia exhaust system, and pass him on the other side of the road in one of the strait aways, then cutting in front of him in the last minute to take a turn that said 25 with my car saying about 55. i go on to smoking him, not even seeing him in my view mirror anymore. we later talk on the side of the road where i waited for him and found out that it was one of my friends i used to hang out with. so in the end know i have a buddy to race whenever i want to and were getting him some sweet suspension so he can at least see my bumper from time to time...

Nice, but be careful on straightaways, them GTO's can move pretty good.

yea he probably didnt floor it on the straightaway when u passed him bc, more than likely, you wouldntve been able to pass him, and you wouldve been hit by an oncoming car. a s2k will outhandle a GTO, but even the smaller 5.7 liter GTO's will eat a s2000 alive in the straights...unless you have a 75 shot in which case you can take down the 6.0 400hp 05's. ask me how i know

No way basically stock s2k can take a GTO from a roll. You'll die everytime. As customcamry said, he probably let you pass.
