Tie perhaps

Got myself in a race today I was cruising on the highway (55mph speed limit) when i see this car coming up fast. A pontiac with a ram air hood. Its coming up to me so I start matching speed, and we're now cruisin about 70-75. Then the merge comes into sight less than half a mile down the road N its showtime (up until this time i wasnt really expecting a race, just thought it was cruisin) But She punches it, and this couple, kinda older, like 45ish, with his wife driving, starts to pass. He smiles and waves as they do. I drop it in third which puts me pretty square in my pband, and start to catch up...the farthest they got was my nose to there rear bumper. Then I stuck with them at about 1/4 car length behind and nose to nose, when we started to hit the merge...at over 110ish...Threshold braking FTW! So I start laughing and they give me the thumbs up. I love nice sunny days.

Thing that gets me tho is that I still dont know what car it was...Like I said its pontiac, had the ram hood, and on the rear it said 6.0, with dual exhaust...I figured it must be the G6...anyone got a clue?

That's a new Pontiac GTO. It has a 6.0 L V8 engine in it, so I'm guessing that's what the 6.0 was. But there might be a GXP version of something with the 6.0L engine...

Look at the pictures, and see if that's what you saw. I'm almost positive it is.

Your camaro kept up with a goat? Interesting.

More like impossible...but yes, It had the same back end as the GTO from the site...So yeah, it shoulda blown my doors off. They must not have tried to hard

EDIT: Yeah, did some more research...Its a bit fatter 500lbs ish, but I think the 200 HP difference more than make up. They played with me like a toy

Still must've been fun . Careful though!

[dklkse]

yea, it DEFINITELY wasn't a G6

Thank you,









J/k! Couldn't resist!
