Default I probably made myself look like a douche today during a fats run.

I was out today to get a hot weather fats run. It was a sunny 88deg out this afternoon so it was perfect. I get near my fats stretch cruising at a pokey 55mph waiting for the road to level. I was eyeing the rearview making sure no one was passing me in the left lane. If someone passes in the left lane while I'm doing 55 in a 70, they are likely to get in front of me so my fats run depended on it. There is an Accord behind me looking a little impatient right before I get to my starting point and just as I roll on the throttle a silver Porsche jumps out from behind the Honda. I stay in the throttle at this point. My intention has been made clear. The P-car passes me just long enough for me to see the GT3 badge as I slingshot past it. I'll bet he thought I was some retard thinking it was a race. I probably should have hit the hazzards;-p

4.1 No gt3 killer here:-/ Hopefully Nyet's calculator will give me a happy horsepower estimate.

Thanks. It's a good temp for the water injection to start pulling its weight.
