wow what a trip (pics too)

Went on the first leg of the power tour with magnaflow. They used my car as there display car since I had there exhaust. They also paid for my to go down and get new magnaflows put on the General so I could display it too!!!! Monday I start to head back and some guys in the lobby say you want to join us on the way back? he had a map out and was saying it would be a blast. I said what the heck. All I can say its one of the best decisions I have ever made. CURVES CURVES CURVES! I follewed him in his 1966 matching numbers big block car and there was 1971 challanger 440 following behind me with a mustang. At one time I pulled .68 Gs and hit 115mph on the straight aways! And I was following the 66! Here are some pics..

What's the most G's you have pulled? .68 scared me but I guess the car has more? O ya 20.7 average mpg!!!

Great drive, and great looking car? How does the exhaust sound?

I pulled .74 with my girlfriend on an exit ramp without going too crazy. I can foresee over 1G on a hard switchback on a road course...
I also feel like if you are hitting near a G, you should not be reading the meter!

That is true I was thinking .68 was alot! I love magnaflows. They always have a nice clear deep sound. I have there agressive exhaust and love it. There also really good guys and have dyno sheets on what there exhaust did!
