OK, I now little to nothing about Olds, but from what I have read I see NO WAY AT ALL that he can beat you! in my 79zx (NON TURBO) I still have lots of horse power atvailable at 150km.h (100mph) You have a turbo, so yours is going to be WAY better than mine! I had mine cruising at 130 KMH and a guy in a GMC Sierra figured he could pass me, he was prob going around 150KMH, so when I saw him near my rear bumper, I punched it and I was up to 180KMH in a matter of 5 -10 seconds, and he started to dissapear in the background... your car can do better... I say go for it.
