Was driving to work last a few days ago and saw a black Marauder coming up behind me at about 15 mph over. Passed me on the left and it was super clean with a nice semi transparent tint and had SC tags but with USAF
insignia on the plate.

Last night I was merging on a long access road to the interstate and there was a black sedan going about 15 mph under the speed limit in front of me.
Yep, it was the same car. He was only going about 35 mph.

I was in my 5 day old '04 GTO six speed and was in 3rd gear.
I was less than 2 car lengths behind him and looked over my left shoulder to merge, turned to look straight ahead and he was gone.

Must have done a 1st gear kickdown.
Was about 5 car lengths ahead of me.
I romped on it, and closed the gap pretty quickly.
I shifted into 4th at about 75mph and he let off because of a police officer stopped on the bridge ahead.

I would have like to have run him from a roll.
me in 2nd and him doing a 1st gear kickdown.

Yep,
Bought it 11/30.
$3500 rebate.
$1500 Instant Value Certificates.
Plus dealer discount.
Price was $26,100.

$5500 rebate was announced yesterday afternoon. $500 better than my deal.

The most fun I have had with a car.
The interior is of very high quality and the seats are the most comfortable I have ever sat in.
The LS1 rocks.

Silver/black
