300C vs 6.0 GTO
Well not exactly a race...
Came across a sweet black GTO (6.0 LS2) and he was weaving in and out. He came up to my butt and wanted to pass, I pulled over to lane #2 and let him. As he accelerated, I simply rolled up with him to about 75.
He gets the hint and we both slow to about 60. Traffic is a good distance off in the horizon. I notice his downshift (3rd? 4th?) and his nose pops. I simply mash the thottle of the Al Capone Special.
The 300C downshifts and launches immediately into its sweet spot and I take a two-three car lead within a second, but the gain stops. We both break the century, add another 10, another 10 and traffic is approaching promptly. I check the mirror to see where he is. He's still back there and not gaining an inch.
I pull off the throttle, apply brakes and we call it a tie.
I actually anticipated the GTO to pull on me, but it didn't. The 300C only has 340 and the LS2 has 400. WTF!! I assume had it been from a git-go, or had dragged out to 130+, things probably would've been different.
I'm prettty impressed with my little Mafia Friend.

My guess would be that he picked 4th when he should have picked 3rd. I don't know what the rear end gear ratio and trans ratios are on the GTO, but I'm going to assume that it's relatively close to an LS1 F-body. If he picked 4th from 60, I think you'd see the results you saw, although he should have started pulling on you around 100mph.
