Outflanked a supercharged...sort of ;)

[stephen newberg]

Well, trucking down the highway to pick up some tooling dies yesterday, I came upon a green SE of the supercharged variety and managed to pass him. But he was about 65 and did not seem to be trying very hard. We both eased off before 160 kph (100mph for you non-metric types). And we loafed along at 115 from there on until my exit. First of the supercharged ones I have seen out my way. Did they make a lot of them?

Are you talking Grand Prix SE? Didn't know they made any supercharged ones.

Maybe he just bought the GTP/Supercharged badges.

Just curious....

And...even if it was supercharged....the top end...to include 100mph and above...the SHO will take it. Its the 1/4 mile where the SHO lacks against these puppies. After that it's all SHO...

I'm not sure what the letter title said, so I might have gotten that wrong. It very much had the plate that said supercharged. I suppose it is possible that he just put on the plate, be he did not look or act like the put on airs type. That is not very definitive, I know.

Had not considered that we were doing this as a roll on from about 60 mph. Maybe he was trying hard
