pulled upside looked like maybe 04-07 vette @ 60 mph dropped into 3rd and we both got on it, l stayed side by side with him all the way thru 3rd when we both shut down - he probably just couldn't drive right?

Hey man, I was busy shining up my gold chains, adjusting my floor mat protectors and checking my GPS for the closest Hooters. Next time give me a honk or something if we're gonna roll like that.

Maybe he started getting on it in a taller gear (4th/5th)....If I was doing 60, I would have hammered down into second....Would have easily another 2500rpms left in that gear.....and took off like a bullet....

If he was anything like me I won't go down to 2nd out of fear... anything under 65 and I can pretty safelygo to 2nd (ends at 75mph).. but I normally just stay in 3rd.
