Default turbo gtp

Tonight after I dropped my girlfriend off I was cruising around and found a gtp. We both gunned it once on the highway and I thought I heard a turbo but wasn't sure. We pull over and turns out that he has a turbo with full exhaust, intake, and a mild cam! 387rwhp. I was pretty sure he'd beat me but we decided to run anyway. We went from 70 -110. When we started I had him by about 2 lengths and then this thing just comes buzzin by me, that freakin turbo was screaming and he kept gaining, overall he probably got me by like 7 lengths. It was a freaking awesome car. Just thought I'd share.
