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.
