Saw a new gt500 come into the hwy. I was doing my usual speed 80, and he comes barreling down next to me. He starts yelling "I LOVE YOUR 5th GEN. IM A HUGE LS GUY". Then he gives the go signal to do some Mexico stuff. Slowed down to 55, dropped to 2nd and away we go... we were pretty much neck and neck til we hit undisclosed Mexico speeds. I however was shifting way early around 5500-6000rpms. I was scared as balls to hit max rpm of 7000, bc I didn't want to shred my belt. I'm almost positive I would've edged him over if I didnt have cars coming up on my lane, pegged 7000rpms, and didn't have my buddy riding with to me @ 250lbs.

Those GT500s are pretty stout.

What tires you running out back?? Those close runs are always fun!
