on monday afternoon i was heading north on 23 in mich and i see an older guy in an orange 2007-08 gt convert so i slowed a bit, when he got up next to me i put down in 3rd at about 80 and goosed it a couple times and got no response then i did it again and he nailed and put about 1 and half cars on me once i got into fourth he stopped pulling on me but i never gained on him. this happened four times. when traffic slowed i got up next to him to see what he was running and he said it was a 4.6 with a supercharger didnt say how many lbs he was running. Not sure if he was running wide open or toying with me im all stock other than flowmaster cat back also need a tune and air filter. what u guys think

Sounds right. The new 4.6 supercharged are prob putting around 360+ to the rear wheel.

If he was running very modest boost, he probably had more than 350RWHP, but less than 400. If he was running 8 to 10lbs, he was easily over 400. It depends.
