Dyno'd my car today on pump gas, made 367whp SAE dynojet. After that went to the only place around that sells E85, tested it (was E74) and blended to an E30 mix.
Reflashed the car and jumped on the highway to head home.
Before even the first datalog on the E30 base map, I ended up playing with an automagic C7, had a catback, not sure if anything else.
He had the jump from 70mph. I was waiting in 3rd and hit it when i heard his car downshift. He put about a car on me off the hit and i stopped his pull. Thats where we stayed all the way into 6th gear.
I couldn't reel him in, he couldn't walk away. We let out at 150+mph, not sure exactly but i needed 6th gear so we were rolling. I'm sure the guy was a bit dumbfounded about a VW hatchback having a dogfight with his Vette. I was pumped, it's really rare to have a close race with a random person...and this one was quite a bit different from my last C7 encounter (when stage 2).
We exchanged thumbs up and went our separate ways. Best part was the guy was about 70 years old!
After the pull i glanced at my AP, 27.4psi peak boost and 1-2 degrees of max knock...guess the base map was safe lol.
