Just posted about the Stang, well this one is even more fun but not the good feeling as with the Mustang. The wife and I were comming home from visiting my son at about 10:45 PM last night. We ran into a detour and ended up on this 4 lane Highway, 2 each way, that is 3 lanes in one direction at some areas. We were alone on the road except about a 1/4 of a mile up the road were 3 cars vieing for position and you could hear that they were Ricers. I stepped on it and caught them at a light but I was behind them. They took off, all 3 screaming like Banchees I stayed right behind them. The road narrowed back to 2 lanes, mixing us all together, at the next light I got up front and at this point the road was 3 lanes again with a 4th to make a right turn. Here I am lined up with 4 Ricers, it must have looked like something with the GCSRT8 surrounded by 3 Ricers, we are 4 abreast at this point. When the light for the traffic going across in front of us turned red I took off, bad move, our light was still Red so I got off the gas and broke hard. Then the light turned green, of the 3 only one of them could stay anywhere near close and he was then one in the cut off lane. I left off the gas and the fastest of the 3 wanted to play some more but I had to turn off. Just a fun thing not a big thing they were only Modded Ricers. Wonder what they were thinking when this 2 and a 1/2 ton Jeep put some Whoop As& on them?

Killed a brand new Camaro SS off a set of lights- he was pissed! he caught up when I slowed down and opened the window and yelling he wasnt ready and wanted to go again, I yell back I have to turn off here, he follows me. I dont really want him following me all the way to my house so I stop at a green light and get my buddy to go press the button to change the light. He pulls up beside me and I act like I didnt just crush him I say ' Nice car, is it fast?' he says yeah , I say 'we'll see' and rolled up my window. Longest light ever haha. People going the other way are wondering why we are stopped at the green. Long story short I had an even better launch and wasted him again up to about 160km/hr he was 5 cars behind- he did wave when I turned off again-respect earned!

OOO a "camaro" ss! That changes everything, haha! Great kill though 5 CL is something to be proud of vs. one of them. Could you tell if it was manual or auto? If it was a manual with a good driver it would have given u a MUCH better run for your money vs. an auto. I still am puzzled why they would have a 20hp difference on manual vs. automatic. I know the auto has AFM, but 20hp is no joke especially when the rear end ratios are 3.27 for the auto and 3.45 for the manual...

Its going to seem like I am getting on you cause this is a second thread I disagree with you on LOL! The camaro SS stock is not a contender from a dead stop even if it is a manual. Heck I have made a GT500 look stupid from a light just b/c these cars are harder to launch on the street. And I am not the only one. Do you own a JGCSRT8? I ask b/c if you did it would eem you would know this already. Again not picking at you brother just don't agree!:)

It was manual for sure, Ive talked to a couple guys at the gym who know him. As far as good driver??? He just got the car as a grad present!! A good friend of mine- his dad just SC his new Camaro so we will try that out soon too -600+HP

There are soooo many rich kids where I live, high school girls drive ML 500's and SL500's, its like fish in a barrel :)
