We were both going about 40 miles an hour he was a little bit behind me. He floored his car in an attempt to pass me. At that time I was in 3rd gear. I floored it too as soon as he leveled off with me my turbo gauge got into the red zone and after that I he lost about 3 or 4 cars to my by the end of 3rd ~ 90 mph. I was really impressed by my Saab. I really hope he got a chance to figure out that his ass was handed to him by a 6 year old Saab 900 SET convertable. I wish I knew if this was a 5spd or automatic. It felt great to be able to outperform that wannbe sports car. Do you guys think the result would have been the same if I was racing 328 instead of Lexus? Are they similar in performance at all? (assuming same transmission)
P.S.
I think the fact that I live in Denver gave me an edge of that car.
