Now there's an invitation if I ever saw one. Downshifted to 3rd and floored it, taking after the Corvette, At 120mph, I catch up with Red and pull alongside. The driver sees me and takes off. I pull behind him again and follow suit. I'm at 7000 rpm on 5th gear and the speedo is offscale.
Speed keeps climbing in the chase.
Having proven my point, I peel off and slow down. Don't want a ticket or even worse. Never again on an open, public road. Nothing beats a well built hybrid. Reliability has not been sacrificed in the search for power.
