Hi everyone,
This is my first post, so I figured I'd make it a good one. My brother who has a 2003 Mustang has never been able to drive my 1997 30th Anniversary Z28 since I put 3.73 gears on it last May. So I let him take it out with me, and of course he runs into one of his old classmates who has a brand new 2005 GTO. After a small amount of small talk, the light turns green and we both wait until we're on the straight part of Route 522 and go for it. We totally kicked the crap out of the GTO and he never pulled on us until about 80, then he missed his 3-4 shift went back into second barked the tires and gave up. We pulled up at another light later when we were going to turn (he was going straight), and "he said, you caught me off guard." Shouldn't he be able to kick our butt caught off guard or not? Like I said he never pulled on us. Below are the mods the car has done. I want to get people's input on this and I hope to see you all tomorrow at Fudd's.
