Default Mach vs. LS1 Trans Am

So I'm minding my own business driving home at around 5am after a hard nights work and see this vert trans am merging into the highway. I slowly catch up and see its got at least an exhaust and riding on what seem to be Z06 wheels. As I get even I notice its a mid 20s brunette chick (which looks pretty good), I admire the site of a good looking girl driving a sports car but continue to pass her, dissappointed. I barely get a car ahead and she quickly speeds up and gets even. She says, "Nice Mach, is it modded?", I replied, "Just the basic, Intake/exhaust/tune/gears. You?" and she says its her boyfriends which lets her drive every now and then and that its an auto with lid and exhaust. Me trying to capitalize on her being an auto and me geared I ask for a 20 roll (5 lane highway with the closest car a couple miles back) but she refused and said it wouldn't be fair for her and asked for a 50, surprised that she didn't fall for it I said 45 tops, since 50 is too high for 2nd and too low for 3rd. So she honks it down and off we go. I jump about a car ahead by the time we hit 3rd, about 1/2 car in third and a slow but steady pull in 4th. We let off at around 120-125 with me about 2.5-3 cars ahead. Another 45 roll yielded the same results. I then agreed to go from 60 where we were pretty even (maybe me by a bumper) going into 4th and the same steady pull on my part in 4th. She gave me the thumbs up which I returned and said she'd catch me around after the headers and cam go in after new years, to which i responded, "dont worry, I'll be ready for you." She smiled and exited the highway. Is it just me or is this woman not every member of this forum's dream girl?? I was smiling the whole way home.

Wow....that's different. I'd pee in her butt.

You really have to be in the perfect spot in an auto from a roll.

Its true, autos are picky about roll races, but you gave her the next race under her conditions and still got her, so good couple of kills! It should be a good bit worse for her once you get that Eaton dropped in, regardless of her prospective cam.

Lmfao at 98, "I'd pee in her butt"..... I just had a visual.

Nice runs! I agree if even if she does the headers and cam, you should still wipe the floor with her with the Eaton.

Yea, the most they're looking at is 415rwhp or so with a cam only setup. They could make 460'ish rwhp with a set of heads. I'd just spray the hell out of it...and make 500+rwhp.

Should be a good race after the Eaton if they make 415whp with boltons/headers/cam.
