Black Gremlin kills black G6
12/21/09 at 20:15:04

I never looked at this page till now. Reminded me of one time this summer I actually street raced.
I was on The Berlin Trunpike ( local cruse strip) I was on my way home from a local car show on a sat night. I was in the left lane and I noticed a nice new GTO G-6 pull up on my right hangin back 1/2 car length. I heard his turbo spool up and it was a deserted area so I said to myself ok...you want some..I dont think so! We were cruzin about 25 mph when I dropped into 2nd and punched it. After the tires grabbed Grin

I pulled ahead of him by 3 car lengths as i hit 3rd. then pulled to the right lane as we came to a red light. They pulled up to my left and The guys pas side heavily tinted window rolled down just far enough to stick his hand out to give me a thumbs up. We leasurly left when the light turned green.

Did you notice if the car had manufactor plates on it? A friend had a similiar experience. He had a black 66 Satalite,440,4-spd, low to the ground. A black LeBaron FWD starts pulling up behind on the expressway. He slowly gets into it(2.94 gears). At about 100, the lil black car pulls next to us, window down,also tinted,thumbs up, then squirts outta there.

Then again kill them straight line, take your time in the corners Dave ----

Thanks Guys! Bob your story sounds cool but I didn't notice what the car had for plates as I was never behind it Grin

While my car is fast, it is not the fastest out there on the local streets...I am sure there are one or maby 2 that could beat me. I dont race at all,,,,that was only my 2nd go at it since putting the car on the road 3 years ago or was it 4 now? I like freedom wayyyy too much!

Mostly the faster cars here are store bought Corvettes, however the owners really can't operate them anyway. Def a fast street car you have. SH

Ok....me confused. GTO G6? A GTO and G6 are two different cars and neither of them had a turbo. Are you sure it wasn't a Cobalt SS?
