I considered it, but I didn't want to sink to his level. I wanted to protect my gf and child with as little risk as possible.

Having grown up on the back of a '53 Harley, I have a healthy respect for motorcycles. The problem is that some of these asshats think that cars HAVE to watch for them. Technically its true, but the real question is WILL they watch for them. Hell I've had people nearly run into me when I was driving my Suburban. When I see these asshats flying by on their crotchrockets, I laugh and say, "You're awful brave for someone with out a steel cage around ya." I had a very ticked off asshat trying to intimidate me on his bike. Funny considering the weight difference. Honestly, what is his little 300lb bike gonna do to a 3 ton Suburban. I MIGHT have to use a Claybar. If I really felt threatened by him, I have a bit more leverage, more stability, that whole steel cage thing I was talking about, and about 4 more people inside than he has( I say about because my daughter wouldn't have been fighting).

Well I ended up getting stuck at the next red light next to him and he was yelling at me and my gf in my car. he was calling her a slut and all this stuff. when the light turned green I floored it and tried to get away from him. if I hadn't let off when I hit60 and kept holding it it would have worked, but I didn't (stupid me) and he came up beside me and started slowing down and punching it and slowing down and punching it, so I finally floored it and he did the same. i actually pulled away from him slowly. The next red light I got stuck again next to him and he actually got off his bike and started walking towards the car. I looked and saw that there were no cars coming and I punched it and went straight through the red light. the guy went back to his bike and tried to catch up, but I didn't let off til I was over 150 and getting close to my turn and couldn't see him. I was scared to death. I really hope i don't have to do that again.

im sorry but would have ran that fucker off the road if he did that to me.......id gladly fix some body parts on the camaro and not have put my gf at danger going 150+mph

Wow, I was driving my service van, a 3500 and a bike ran into the back of me. I wondered why my tools vibrated but didnt notice. That is till I started going and there was a bike lying at the back of my truck. Funny thing is I called the cops, and they took off limping dragging there broken bike. Enjoy your nice car, thoses things seems to go away after the birth.

I won't have a reason to sell my car. I am making plenty of money to keep it and not having to worry about bills for the first year will help a ton. we just bought my future wife a lexus ls400 for us to drive. that will be a huge help by itself. my dad is paying for over half of the car. I just need to finish paying mine off. once it's paid off, there is no chance of it going anywhere.

Motor Trend clocked 157 in an LT1 M6, as well as 152 in an A4.

I couldn't find the articles on the 157 and 152 top speed runs, but here's a 154mph recording. http://www.stangbangers.com/93_Cobra...28_Article.htm

with my uncle's gps speedo we took it to 155 with no problems. we didn't measure the distance it took to get that fast, but it pulls hard the whole way. mine is not stock. I have full bolt ons, some slight head work (oversized valves and 181cc port) full valve train upgrade with 1.6 roller rockers and conical valve springs, and a ported intake manifold to match. it puts down a little over 350hp. so it has no problems going to 150. I have only done it 4 times now and it scares the shit out of me to do it, but it will without a problem.

thanks. it handles fairly well too just needs a bit more work to have it perfect to me, I just can't spend money on my car right now.

I won't be putting my family in any danger. I actually am trying to find a way to get me a daily driver that won't tempt me to push the pedal. I love my wife to be and already love my unborn child.
