So driving with my Gf in my 01' 4.0 Aurora. I was approaching a red light and saw a dark blue deville, with "DTS" on the back, to the right of me, already waiting at the light. It was the newer style, 05 to 2011. I was a little ahead of him, but noticed it was a young guy. It was an open dead road, i figured what the hell. Let me do a rev and see if he bites. With my Corsa, it can definitely be heard haha. Well as we were sitting there. I was already slighty ahead of him at the light. He kept creeping up, til he was almost pretty even. I said to my Gf, hey maybe there's a chance. I'm curious to see how the Rora stacks against it after my Y-pipe, ported intake manifold mods. B.c a while back i ran a 320hp STS and he had me by a car til about 80mph.
So the light turns green, i take off normal and it seemed like he did. But then close to about the time i was approaching 30mph, he guns it and it evens next to me just as i gunned it. I pulled on him slowly and approaching 70mph i had a car on him, but about 80, i was slowly creeping further away. I shutdown at 90mph, so did he. I was surprised. I thought with the vin 9, he would slowly start passing me, but that wasn't the case.
Internet lists the deville a 15.5 second car. We didn't go right off the line. I wonder if i would have pulled him off the line as well.
All in all.....Win for the Rora!!!
