I was going out to get some coffee this morning and seen this camaro cruising a few cars behind me. I think nothing of it and drive calm. All of a sudden I look in my mirrior and I see this guy weaving in and outta traffic so he must of spotted me, so I say okay why not, I slow a bit to where he can get right behind me to turn on to the major intersection (RT59). As soon as we both turn on , I grab the far lane. He grabs the next one. I hear him downshift so im like damm i have an auto :( but i shouldnt of hesitated. We were at 20 when he honked of and when he did I blew right past him till like 110. I slowed down again thinking maybe he had a problem so i said lets do it again. This time it was around 40-45 mph. He honked it off and he stole the hit, but I quickly reeled him in within mili-seconds and pulled about a car and half on him. We finally hit a stop light, we give each other both a thumbs up and that was that.

they aren't all that impressive in stock/stockish form. good kill.

No, they aren't.

I had no problem reeling one in when I was stock after he got the hit on me. Admittedly, I think his was an auto, but my car is an auto too, so....

Good kill! The new Camaros and Challengers around the San Diego area are getting really pesky. I run into at least one or two of them that want to run whenever I go out for a cruise.

good kill, they really are unimpressive when compared to the mighty LS1 lol.

I came up on a guy yesterday that was rolling in a SS VERT (the tag said so :coolman:) i kinda tried to see if he wanted to play, i think the 40mph rolling burnout kinda sealed the deal :rockon:. I did see a ZL1 going the other way today. I was heading home from work, I shoulda turned around to see if he wanted to play.

Nice, I'm trying to get a buddy to do some rolls with a ZX-11 up here.. so that should be fun. Might have to put the D/R's on though unless we start at 90 depending on road temp

I wish I could run into them. I've had my cars for two years and I've found one Camaro and one Challenger that actually wanted to run. Sigh.
