modded 135 goes down
so there i was on the way back from the 757 (va beach) having just come from a car show for the weekend. I had an almost full cooler, 4 chairs, 2 bags, my wife, full size spare full sized jack, cordless impact and almost3/4 of a tank of fuel, oh and however much sand that got tracked into the car from the beach. Me and a couple other club members are cruising home and since traffic was crappy, we didnt really get a chance to "play" like we normally do but the time was coming!! we get almost back to richmond and the blue 135 comes barreling down the highway and passes us, slows down and then pulls ahead again. Ive seen the car and him at our dealership before and knew it had mods, some programming/tuning for sure but didnt know to what extent. I wait, waiting on my buddy in the C7 to pounce but he doesnt budge. so i pull up next to him with a grin on my face as if to say if your not, then I will. i catch up to the 135 make sure the methanol is on and wait. 3rd gear at about 70 and he mats it, I follow suit and pull him in, then let off. he pulls up to me and says he needs a lower gear and mentioned that the car is "stock". I ruin his surprise by telling him i work at the dealership that repairs his car and have seen it before. we slow to about 40 or so (maybe slower) and i give him second, again I pull on him and let off due to catching up with traffic. at this point i havent even gotten out of 3rd gear to see what she will really do. so I back off and the C7 (supercharged) gives it a go, the 135 keeps up pretty well but cant hang at the upper end. finally traffic is almost non exhistant and i have an opportunity, I look at my wife and tell her to hold on (as if she wasnt already) we roll at 70 3rd gear, methanol on, rockin and rolling!!! i get the jump and keep on pulling, no traffic ahead, the car hits 4th when i let out im about 3-4 car lengths ahead of him. no idea how fast we got up to. we slow down he doesnt give me a thumbs up and looks upsetbut i got what i wanted.
fast forward to today, he comes in and asks to speak to me, I go and talk to him and to my surprise he offers to buy my car!! I tell him its not for sale but ill keep him in mind. after talking to him for a bit I find out its got turbo upgrade(dont know exactly what they are), bigger FMIC, suspension etc and it making somewhere between 450-500. he didnt mention if that was BHP or WHP but i imaging if it was WHP i wouldnt have been in front of him. left with a handshake and a "that thing is impressive" and he wanted to know if i did sidework haha.
