Running in the rear with the lead pack of 15-20 BMWs up 95 to get a Tony Luke’s Cheesesteak in Phila at in the spring time. We all hit 115/120 in the Baltimore tunnel just to hear the pipes roar. Redline 3,4 hard up shifts...loved the rush, the sound the pipes made off the walls.
Had no issues keeping up with M3s, M5s, M6s, and the Lambo leading the pack. I was the designated “parts picker upper” in case something fell off one of the lead cars….
The bonus was the carbon cleaning accomplished while having fun. The idle and part throttle response is much cleaner now too..

For those interested there is another trip planned for the Spring Time in the Wash DC area. Last year we had some 50 cars. We always pick up another 20/30 cars out of Baltimore on the way. Great fun, no tickets as most were sane drivers not squirrels.
