HHR SC 2.4l VS Grand Prix GTP SC 3800
I thought I'd share a fun kill:
So I rolled up to a light and sat there for a few seconds seeing the red Grand Prix next to me was sporting the GTP Supercharged emblem. When I light turned, I pulled firmly off the line, no wheel spin just quickly, and revved about 5k rpms just enough to provoke the GTP into thinking "The HHR with the muffler and wheels is cake." Well...as soon as I shifted to second at about 30mph, my plan worked, he gunned it, and I responded by completely blowing him away. He was able to pull even to me briefly because I let him jump back on me for fun, but by the time we were at 60 I was already pulling away and third gear still out powered him and I put a car length on him when I shut it down at 85mph nearing a slight corner. I shifted into forth and engine braked for a moment and he went flying by me, still hot on the throttle. I didn't want to pull any farther knowing I periodically see pulled over vehicles in that area and I can't figure out where Mr. Sheriff hides. Any who, that made my night. This little bugger has oomph and I certainly had that GTP owner scratching his head.

Heck yeah! I do few WOT runs every time I get in it(where its safe). I like racing people, but only for fun and we were the first off the line on a 3 lane hwy. He was not much of a sport. He wouldn't even look at me when we pulled up along side each other in traffic later on. I give a friendly thumbs up or peace sign win or lose.
