Excuse me if this seems a little incoherent at times I am still a little excited over the nights activities. Well it started off good enough, 3rd date with a lovely girl from the U of I, when a few kids admire my 89 GT. I've done a bit of work to the car like 3.73 gears, banshee shaker hood, no smog or cats, off road h pipe, 2 chamber flowmasters, so i tend to like compliments. WEll after we finished the date I was driving her home on brady st between kimberely and 53rd when an 01 black SS pulls up along side of me. The passenger signals me to roll down the window so I do and he asks me about the shaker because he has an 01 GT. Next thing I know the SS takes off from about a 20 mph roll. I gun the stang and the car takes off. When i get into the high RPM band the belts kind of squeel, I think from a bad belt tensioner. NExt thing I know we are at 80 mph and I am only 1 car length back. I see a stop light ahead and I slow down to avoid problems with traffic and I also have to turn to take her home. He wanted to go from a dead stop but I had to leave. I still am in shock that I only lost by 1 car from a 20 mph roll. With the 3.73 I think I could have lessend the gap, still would have probably lost though. I knew the car was fast because I have beatin' new GT and Z's but I never thought I would even have a chance with an SS. Boy I can't believe that I actually hung in there. :rolling:
