Quick background on the "Girlfriend". She is my girlfriend, and we've been dating for a little while. She loves Camaros since she owned a 93 SS and she never hesitates to break her neck when she spots one driving around. What she does not like is me running through the gears with someone else who wants a piece of the coyote. She always reminds me how she wants to see twenty one and how I have too much fun in my car. Mind you, it's usually a spat between me and another car for a brief moment, nothing too extravagant, but nevertheless she doesn't really care for it.... Until... DOT DOT DOT
I was cruising and I came up behind a blacked out 10+ SS, with 4 inch tips. As he hit the clutch I heard the idle bounce off the side of the on ramp, which sounded like a pretty nasty lope and overlap. She of course is in awe of the Camaro. I thought I may have an opportunity to play a little game of cat and mouse this time without too much blowback. Clearly the Camaro would give me a spanking on my ass, but how much of a spanking was the question. The next question was what the GF would think?
Well as I am pacing behind him, he moves over and I stay in my respected lane and begin to creep up on him; noticing an older gentlemen probably in his early 40’s it was probably someone who has had a few runs in his life and judging by his car he had pretty good knowledge of what a coyote is capable of, and what his pushrod is capable of dishing out to unsuspecting prey. As I creep up, he hits it. I of course obliged and give suit... However as much as I tried to hit the next gear right when the TACH backlight went red, he just kept going and going. Screaming like he was coming straight out of hell. 3-4 car lengths later, I let off. The girlfriend however was quiet... awaiting my "You're going to kill me " remark or something along the lines of me losing control on a freeway and running off an edge of a cliff to my doom, it was just silence. I glance over and she has the biggest grin on her face, why? Well her notorious "Camaro" had just put a spanking on me. She then makes the comment "That was fun…" grinning ear to ear.
Obviously it was fun for her, because her iconic car just made me look like a hybrid, but what can you do? The coyote is stock for now minus dark grey AMS rims and SLP axle backs. However 3.73's, Springs, intake, and tune sit in the living room next to my TV stand, made up of 396 Heads, and 5.7 rods.
I can't hate her; I’ve always been a Chevrolet guy at heart. Not only that, but a woman who loves an American car, whether it be Ford, Chevrolet or Dodge, is just my kind of woman.
