Another GTO kill
As rare as the GTO is, we seem to have quite a few running around Chicago. Heading home last night from a local cruise,it isn't uncommon to come upon some nice cars in route home. I had noticed an Impulse Blue Metallic 06 GTO at the cruise, and low and behold was coming up along side him on the highway.
Having briefly looked at this GTO at the cruise, I noticed it had LT's and I overheard the owner talking about the cam he put in it and 3.91's. Sounded like a pretty healthy GTO.
I pulled along side maintaining my speed and was easing by him, and heard a shout in my direction from him. I slowed down, and this person yells "hey is that Rustang quick" My only criteria forinsulting my caris that some thought and creativity are put into it.
Anyway, he wants toplay. At the red light, I see open road ahead of us and figure..why not?
We both spun pretty badly, but as soon as I hit second I began to pull away and by the shift to third I had put2-3 cars on him and opened up that lead to several car lengths by 100 when I let off. I was fortunate enough to get a finger and a flyby for my eforts.
What a little punk.
Mods are

If your from the Chicago area why are you not going to the track with us today? A few of us are hitting US41 today, gates open at 3:30.

Nice kill... I guess there is a replacement for displacement.

I understand that, maybe next time. What area are you in? I had no idea you were local.
