Well, we weren't really racing as it isn't smart to race down I77 in the city portion of Charlotte but anyway, here goes the story.....
I was running about 60 mph down I77 in my 94 Coupe with it's new obnoxious OR pipe, just listening to the sound of sweet music against the concrete barriers. As I approached the Trade Street exit I saw this Camaro Z28 coming off the ramp onto the interstate. I knew he purposely changed lanes and got over to get around me. So, being the nice guy I am, I downshifted into 3rd just as he was about to pass (I noticed his passenger window down) and hit the gas hard! I think I scared him for a minute as he must have pulled his car down a gear (sounded like a slush box) but instead of accelerating, he slowed then hit it hard. Those tones sure do scare a lot of people. As I maintained my speed through the city, all I could think of is "How come I never have the 04 when I need it?" :rotf:
BTW, when I blew by Mr Ed the other day, he told me my car sounded like an Indy car going down the interstate. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner! :D I might also add that I put my Steeda shifter for my 1999 Cobra in my 1994 Coupe and it fit just like a glove! :thumbsup:
