So he cruises back up and I here him yell out the window, "your car is a POS!" and I just waved and went on my way.
About an hour later I noticed a car trying to catch up to me as I was going about 80mph. I slowed down a little and as soon as he got along side of me he braked and slowed down to pace me. I didn't know what it was at first but it looked huge and slow. So when he had trailed back a bit, I didnt think much of it, until he decided he would do some sort of flyby. I thought it didnt stand a chance even with a 20-30mph head start so I didnt floor it until he was at my side. I quickly walked him and shut down at about 115mph again. What confused me is how well the impala hung with me. I pulled on him with ease but not like a car that is only trapping 100-105, it seemed like his car had to be as powerful as a C5. I dont know but I figure he had some mods done to it. I always heard the 94-96 impalas have good topend, I guess they do.
I trap 118 in my track setup, so with slightly less boost and more weight I probably would lose a couple mph so 115-116ish.
Fun races against those nasty LSX engines.

Holy shit man, didn't know you were so close. I live in Salinas. Maybe we could meet up some time.
