OK, This may get a little lengthy, so bare with me. I was in my girlfriend's 98 maxima on the interstate when a guy in a mid 90's trans-am got off the on ramp ahead of me. I was going about 85 when I passed him. He seemed determined to show me up, so he kept up with me through traffic waiting for a chance to pass. It came shortly after we broke through the traffic. He went to the outside lane before I got the chance, I gunned it as he was going by, then moved into his lane. We were at about 100MPH at this point, and he had three car lengths on me. I wasn't making any ground on him(it was open interstate ahead of us with no traffic in sight)when I looked down at the speedo the first time;which read 110. I started to gain on him shortly after it pulled through 130. He must have let off of it then because I started to catch him pretty quick, and then decided to let off before I got a "go to jail free" card. I HAD NO IDEA A MAXIMA WAS THAT DAMN FAST!!. :shock: It was still pulling like mad when I let off. I would have thought a trans-am could walk away from that nissan like it wasn't even in the race. I have been teasing my girlfriend that my supra would smoke her maxima, but never raced her (she is an exceptional driver, and loves to drive fast). I'm now affraid that I will be terribly embarrassed when she blows the paint off the doors!! :wink: I was very impressed with the whole thing, and just thought I would share the story. 8)
