    So who has done the following while driving you 355

    Some one in some other sports car sees you and speeds to catch up
    They catch up to you at the next light so when the light changes you take off slowly, then floor
    It but only to 6000 rpm in 1st
    After first shift you take it to 7000 rpm
    After second shift you take it to 8000 rpm
    Then you short shift And slow down to speed limit

    next time you stop the guy always have a bigger smile than you and that’s usually not easy
    I would like to be in his car when he says to his buddy how good it sounds, then says it again,
    Then says holy ****
    Especially with a capristo or test pipes, or any other loud obnoxious exhausts we all love

    Mine caught fire with a pinhole leak from the oil line spraying onto the right exhaust manifold. Nice plume of smoke. Entertained a few people along the way.

    Whenever there's an overpass coming up I try to time my near redline passing underneath with someone who has their windows down.

    The reception is hit or miss.

    I speed past cops and when they pull me over I start coughing and hold up a sign, "Occupant has Covid-19 and is self isolating in his vehicle. Should I roll down the window, officer?" Yea, I know this is in bad taste, but WTF, I sick of it. Is it too soon for a little Covid humor? o_O

    I thought you guys were interested in what the passenger was doing to you... if so, there must be some other stories.

    No it was not what you think
    she new it was a big deal for me and she told me to drop the hammer
    I did
    Lost control,
    Some dude pops out from behind a semi due to 8000 rpm followed by squealing tires and gives me the thumbs up.
    No cars around,
    No people around I thought but man it was friggen funny.
    Big big smiles
