So the other day exiting the freeway a new 10'+ camaro ss was waiting at the left turn red light. It is a double left turn, he was on the inside left and I was on the outer left turn lane. The two left hand turn lanes merge into three lanes, I shoot into the lane closet to the sidewalk and open her up in second gear to see if I would grab his attention. The next immediate light turns yellow and I get on the brakes to see if he would be game and possibly go from the light. Sure enough he was game! Being on my 275 goodyears, a hard first gear launch is out of the question. He punches it and I feather out of the hole as hard as I can without breaking traction. At the top of my first gear his rear bumper is at my side mirror. So here comes second gear for me, now I am in it WOT and the heaton is starting to whine. By the top of second gear, if I had to guesstimate I would say I was about 1.5-2 cars ahead. A pair of railroad tracks were quickly approaching and I had clearly won the race because I WAS behind and made up that much ground and my third gear is my passing gear.. So I shut her down and he didn't but after he passed me he shut it down and started cruising the speed limit. I caught up looked over to a thumbs up so I returned the gesture and we went on our ways and I dropped of my passenger to his 13' track pack 5.0. (I gave him a ride in the cobra and it bit him, bye bye jeep rubicon hello coyote! Traded it in.) So thats my story, I'm assuming the maro was stock. But you know what happens when you assume... :burnout:
