    I was on my way home from work when I spied, with my eye, the sight of orange marker lights in my side mirror. It was another 04+ GP. His lane was moving faster, and as he went by, i notice it was a GTP, black with what looked like the headlight and tail shades that you get from PFYC. So I slide over behind him and after about 1/4 mile another lane opens up to the right, so I hop over and try to pull next to him, as i hop over, he gives it gas, so I'm spending this entire time trying to play catchup. He didn't seem to pull on me from 65-85. Started pulling away pretty good from 85-100ish and he wasn't pulling away from me as bad til about 110 where we stopped and exchanged the "thumbs up" I was happy, all in all, i started about a car and a half behind him and only lost maybe another car length. Makes me excited for the upcoming topswap.

    Nope, they are both doomed to aforementioned failsaus.
    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.

    If it's stock, which it probably was, at those speeds, there isn't really that much difference between a GT and a GTP.
