Default near lsi kill

Some I'm cruising around today and spot a firebird I was pretty sure he was stock. We played around on the highway a little bit but couldn't really do much due to traffic, so we went on the highway. We went on 3 honks from 60- to about 110, I got him off the line by about half a car then he would gain on me by about a foot or two then we would basically even up and have to stop for traffic. We also went from about 80-110 with the same results. If the road would have been more open he would have probably gotten me but barely. So I am super pleased with my car. We pulled over and it was indeed and lsi so there ya go, a full bolt on gt vs an lsi is pretty much a drivers race.

Eh, if you say so. I heard those LSi's have 4 turbonators on them, no way you could run even. Not even possible. Nut uh, no way.

Well man, I said that if the road would have been more open then he would have probably gotten me, but it wasn't so it was basically a tie.

my gut would be that if he didnt have a brick under the gas pedal it might of been more of a race

He could drive pretty good man, but you're probably right.
