Default 04S vs firebird ws6?

I was on my way home last night, and as i got onto the freeway, i pulled into the middle lane. I speed up and pulled back into the slow lane to pass the car infront of me. As i did that, i noticed a car in the carpool lane moved over and tailgated me. When there was enough clearance, he passed me and slowed down. I saw it was a firebird. Decided to play. I downshifted to 4th going 80, we were dead even up to 110ish, and he slowly started to pull away.

My first race in my S, heart was pounding. I have J'sheaders/tp/invidia exhaust. I tihnk he was stock.

dunno, if it was or wasnt. Did a quick google search and motortrend ran a 2000ws6 13.5 in the 1/4. doesnt "seem" like it should walk away...

either way it was fun.

As they say anything can happen on the street. And don't believe mag times. Buddy of mine ran a 13 flat with only exhaust in his LS1 Z28.

Could have been an LT1 WS6.
