At 0600 this morning I took the Firechicken out to see if I had fixed the vibration in the rearend (starts at 135mph). I get on A3 in Idstien heading towards Wiesbaden, they have the lanes narrowed for construction so I'm taking it easy cruising at 60mph. As I'm passing 2 cars I notice a set of lights coming up behind me, I move to the right. As the car starts to passes me it slows down and stays even with me. It was a Bright Red Celica (new one) with all the trimmings (big spoiler, wide wheels, looked lowered, even had a nice ground effects kit on it). I thought that he would take off but no SIR he stayed right with me through the construction. I see the sign for end of construction 600meters and down shift to 5th, then to 4th. We exit out of the construction and he steps on the go pedal, I decide I really want to see what he has so I start taking off and pull in behind him. By this time we are doing about 100mph (I'm still in 4th), I've got plenty of go pedal and 2 gears left
. I'm done playing it's time to see what he really has, I move to the right come along side him slowed for just a moment and hammered away. At 115mph grabbed 5th continued to pull away, (135mph no more vibration) 140mph grabbed 6th and ran it till I burried the speedo. As I looked back there was only alittle set of lights in the review. I almost felt bad.....almost.....till this thought came to mind...WOW I COULD OF HAD A V8
!!!!!!!!!!! I let off and slowed to 110mph, then,...... he finally passes me I and just laughed
. I had a funny feeling that it wouldn't be much of a contest but I had to do it
