Today was a pretty boring day. It was rather nice out, so I decided to head out and take care of a few things. After running to blockbuster, and the post office (gotta love ebay) it was time to head home. While driving home, I noticed a 05 GTO infront of me. I really wasn't in much of a mood to race, But when he turned onto the same deserted road that I was heading to, I figured why not. After completing the turn, I slowly paced and eventually passed him. He caught up and quickly punched it. I stayed at a stedy 50mph and watched him go by. He slowed down when he saw that I didn't bite. I pulled next to him and pointed at the light ahead that just turned red.

We pulled up to the light. I looked around and there was not a car in sight. There was about a 3/4 of a mile straight away ahead, and a 6sp 05 GTO ready to run me from a dig. I don't even remember the last time that I ran from a dig, but this was perfect! I watched the light as it turned green, and eased out at 3/4 throttle, and the GTO did the same. Once I hit 4k rpm I went wide open and spun badly. I quickly shifted to 2nd and continued to spin. Meanwhile the GTO was at my door giving all that it had. I shifted to 3rd and finally caught traction and proceeded to put about 4 cars on the GTO.
I slowed down and gave the GTO driver a thumbs up. He asked me to pull over to talk. We talked for about 15 minutes about our cars. I checked out his car and I actually like the 05 GTOs. Very nice red and grey interior on grey car. He said that he thought that he had me for a second, but then I just left him. His only mod was a cai, but his car sounded great for stock. We exchanged #s and will hopefully do it again.

Thats probably because it's based off an Australian car (I can't remember the name right now)

I wouldn't mind going up aginst a car like that. The more that I look at them the more that I start to like them. I know of a few people that have taken them and converted them into monaro's (the aussi version). I think that they look more aggressive as monaros, and wouldn't mind having one for the hell of it.

Holden is one of GM's Australian divisions. Ford is simply known as Ford of Australia.
