Message	I pulled up next to the guy at a light, rolled down the window and told him "nice car" (it was CHERRY, nice black paint job!) He said "thanks, it only has 33K, all original". Light changed.... we both took off at a roll. He stomped it around 15mph, and I had a quick response. I pretty much began to pull on him immediately. I shut it down around 80 (right after I shifted into 3rd.)I usually don't get stupid w/ street racing, but this was a 4 lane road @ 11PM and the streets were empty. When I let up I was ahead of him by about 1-1/2 car lengths. I could tell when his turbo spooled (car nosed big time). It was right about the same time as mine actually. This was just a stock Grand National though... not sure about a GNX. My 5-sp 92TT is bone stock w/ 118K. -Brent
