So Sat. night myself the old lady and a couple of friends decide to take a road trip from Kansas City over to St Louis to make a deposit at a few of the gambling establishments. About two hours into the three hour drive at roughly midnight a silver ls2 GTO comes up beside me at roughly 90mph. We messed around a little back and forth, finally we got a long "and I mean long" open stretch of road with no traffic in front of us and finally got a go race in, we started at roughly 70mph and raced up to about 155-160mph. From 70 to 140ish we were dead even I may of even been out in front slightly, however once we got to 145ish he managed to start pulling, by the time we lifted he end up 1.5 - 2 lengths out front.
Of course I have absolutely no idea what mods the GTO had, however I know it at least had exhaust "it was very loud, even at cruising speed", it was also lowered with 20inch wheels. It actually looked very nice "this coming from someone who has never given a gto a second glance". Needless to say it was a good time, of course I would have liked to win but hey at those speeds I figure the aerodynamics on the "brick" 300 had to have taken a large toll on things.
Has anyone else had any highway run ins with late model GTOs?
BTW: My car has a mopar intake, and no other mods. 2100miles on the clock at the time of the race.
It looks like its time for more power!!!
