Default Bitter Sweet

So on Saturday night I am out with the wife and kids in the car and an older guy in a Z51 (I think) sees us drive by and follows us. He was on my bumper for a couple of minutes and everytime I accelerated he did to so I figured that he wanted to see what his car could do. We hit the on ramp to the highway and as we are coming around the curve he is on my bumper again As soon as I merge I punched it and we took off. He disappeared pretty quick as I got up to 100 mph in a few seconds. I know it was an older vette but it still felt good to lay the smack down and yeah I know that he probably only had 245 hp but hey a wins a win. So I am kind of chuckling to my wife saying something like "where'd the vette go...hahaha" and lo and behold a Dodge Viper comes flying up at about 120 mph. The driver looks over at me and kind of shakes his head like to say "hey you have no chance against me". My car is fast but even I am not dumb enough to think that I can take a Viper on the highway. Just goes to show that there is always a faster car out there. Oh well, at least my girl was better looking...LOL.

Yeah that's the plan. I am thinking of a KB maybe for next summer but then I think I will have to change the tranny as it is stock (one of the few things that are). I am already over 400 torque and about 430 flywheel hp so anymore and my tranny will probably go bye-bye. I am leaning toward the 6 speed but would appreciate any feedback you might have. A KB and a new tranny is not gonna be cheap but it should be worth it as at present I am already in the 12's.
