Cruising down the road heading to the carwash today, I notice a white subie working his way through traffic to get to me. He starts getting next to me and I downshift and goose it, let him know what my intentions were. His were the same.
We gear down, Im in 2nd, he honks and we're off, but for a very short distance, only into 3rd a couple hundred rpm's. I kept a fender on him until we let out.
We take a right turn, and go from a 1st gear roll this time, about 20mph for me. 3honks, I pull a fender through 1st, through 2nd he's stopped my pull it seems, 3rd I got out another couple feet. 1/2 car or so.
We stop at a light, I tell'em nice car, he returns the compliment. I ask the year, he said 2011. Then he asks "Hey, is that a v8, or a ::gulp:: v6?" I smile and say its a v6. "Holy ****" is his response. I ask if wanted to head to the highway, and he obliges.
We could only go from a very high 2nd gear roll, about 5k or so for me. I honk it off, 3rd one we're gone! I instantly pull a 1/2car on the jump while he was waiting for his snail to wake up. Bang 3rd, and pull out another 1/4car. Hit 4th, and up to 110-115mph I inched it out to nearly a full carlength before we had to shut it down.
The car had temp tags on it, and sounded stock save for the relatively quiet bov I heard. I was pretty stoked. Dunno much about them, I now they're respectable in stock form. Nice kid, we exchanged thumbs up and headed about our way.
Thanks for looking!
