The coolest one was when I ran this convertible '91 GT on the hwy when I had my 2.73s.
Man I tell you, the best races are the CLOSEST ones (especially if you win)!
Beside each other at about 50 mph, I manually dropped it in 2nd so I could get it to hold out longer. He got up beside me and I let him get the split-second jump like I usually do. After I hit it, I started gaining until I had a tad more than a bumper and I slow stopped gaining and 5500 came quickly so I HAD to shift into drive. As soon as I did, he started gaining on me about 2 bumper lengths and I was like "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS" b/c I was pretty sure I would beat him with not too much problem but then he starts gaining me?!! I thought it was all over, but then I thought, well he's got a 5 speed manual and he's gonna have to shift soon too. Lo and behold when he did, I gained back those 2 bumper lengths he had on me and started pulling away slowly and was yelling in the car "YES! HA HA HA Oh YEAH!!!".
Truly awesome race. Closest I have ever had.
