Today I was driving and came up next to a new one at a stop light. There were cars in front and it was pretty heavy traffic so I knew no racing would happen. I was however checking out his ride and he knew it. Then the douche bag revs the engine and changes lanes basically on top of me. I was pissed, it wasn't loud being stock and everything but it was just the principle. He then turns right, down an empty street quite a bit in front of me and turns on his flashers and waits... I couldn't resist. This must have been his first "racing" encounter as he just floored it before I could stop. As expected, I pulled on him before we both had to slow down. We signaled each other with a thumbs up and went our seperate ways. Perhaps in time we'll meet again, but that's my story.
I dont think Ive seen a video of heard a story of a 5th gen beating a 4th gen with similar or more mods. Especially with the 5th gens 1/4 time with 100 more hp. Definitely not impressed.

lets just hope there are some bad drivers out there, so we can buy up their motors and put them in our cars.

primer grey now...Pic is from Forza 3
Sure it wasnt a v6? they look just like the v8's even have duel exhaust.
I'm pretty sure if we would have had more room I would have looked at the front bumper in my rear view. However, due to the circumstances.. I was playing catch up. BTW today I was out for a casual sunday drive with the girlfriend and saw a total of FIVE of them on our 11 mile each way drive. At least three were SS's. Unfortunatly no duels...

I had a chance to run one! The dude had just got it that same day... The traffic was so thick going down Preston road in Frisco around 4pm that I called it off and gave him a thumbs up as I turned onto my street... Wish I could get a shot when not so much traffic..
Did a couple quick freeway sprints against a 6spd 'maro: undecisive. Did a couple good runs on the freeway against a brand new Pontiac G8 GXP (w/ salesman sitting in the passenger seat) and we were pretty much neck and neck- I had a little pull on him but he had a passenger. Was suprised! That was when I was only LPE CAI, catback and tune.
FYI: The G8 GXP is the same drivetrain as the Camaro, about the same weight, and with 3.45 gears.

New camaro owners avoid me . I check out their ride and they purposly keep looking straight trying to pretend I'm not next to them. Then they try to dart through traffic and disappear off an onramp or side st. Maybe they are tired of people trying to race them?
