To set the story up:
A couple weeks ago a few guys and myself were cruising down Franklin Blvd. in Gastonia as we normally do, and this TransAm drives up beside us and starts jumping at us. I didn't race him that night. We pulled into Burger King parking lot and just socialized there for a while and he pulls up and we start talking about the cars. I told him what I had and at the time I only had the intake and exhaust done. He explained his had a 150 shot, intake and 3" cat-back.
So last Friday (2-11) when I get my pulley's and tune done, I head back out to Franklin and we set at Burger King for a while. I had to be at work at mid-night that night so I cruise down Franklin to get onto I-85, I notice that a couple of TransAms were turning around so I rev'd at them and they followed me!
I got in the turning lane and we head out to I-85, while going down the ramp I'm just cruising along and he flys past me in the emergency lane (the other TransAms stay back). So I kick it and catch up with him. I down shift and throw it in 3rd and keep it there while he slows down beside me. He jumps a couple of times, but I just wait until he kicks it, I wasn't going to let him have any excuses! He kicks it and I hammer the gas and we're off from a 60mph roll. He got the jump on me because I let him take off first, but once I hit the gas and the supercharger started to wined up I was pulling away from him and there was no looking back. I shifted into fourth and was still going strong. I know his car is an automatic, but I feel I drove pretty darn good to beat him. He didn't have to shift, just push a little button of horsepower! I have no idea how fast we got up to, but I do know that I got to work a lot faster that night!:D
