[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4025902, member: 15054"] Funny story. Loaded up my homemade other trailer a Chevy S10 frame made into a trailer to haul my actually 18 foot long Coleman canoe. I had icechests and fishing gear and tow chains etc in it to go on a 2 week fishing trip to Little City. I just changed my gears in the 78 Nova to 2.29 gears and my 31x10.5x15 mudders on it. 11.9 compression 350" with 270H comp cam Ported and milled double hump heads. ANYWAY. Past 19th street on I35 headed south and some guys in a white hot rod with many performance parts window stickers rolls beside me and blips the throttle and I am going 65 MPH. He pulls away taunting me. BS say. I pulled the shifter into first gear as it would run 95 MPH in first. I was neck and neck with him and race was on. I hit second gear and got a second gear scratch and it quit gaining speed at 5500 rpm in second and he began inching ahead of me. I had to shift, when it hit 3rd the Nova lurched forward and pulled way ahead of that old hot rod. (Chevelle maybe). He braked and we slowed to highway speed and I got a thumbs up. About 145 MPH in second gear pulling my trailer. So yes to your question sort of. :) [/QUOTE]
