Was heading onto the highway this morning on my way home in my 2012 BOSS when I had a brand new black ZL1 pull up next to me in the turning lane. there are two turning lanes to get on the highway and then a toll right before it merges into one lane.
It was an older guy and I had a feeling he was going to try and do something...once the light turned green I slowly turned and approached the toll to get onto the highway, he came around the turn much harder and as soon as it went straight (after the toll) he hit it!
I hit it right with him and started pulling in second gear on him before it merged into one lane, he stays next to me and ends up on the shoulder still trying to race me!! I was like wtf! brand new ZL1 and he's on the shoulder kicking debri all over the place!
Once I saw him do that I slowed down and let him go. I see his taillights hit a few moments later as if he is waiting for me! LOLOL! I get around a few cars and we have a HUGE opening in front of us with 4 lanes and nothing but space.
I get down around 45-50 in second gear and he points and tells me to hit it. I agree and hit it first. I immediatly pulled 3-4 cars on him and just kept on pulling all the way past 120ish. By then I was 7-8 cars ahead.
I slow down and he catches back up and raises one finger up to go one more time....I gave him the hit this time, same speed and immediatly stopped his pull and kept on pulling (6-7 cars) all the way past 120ish.We both slowed down and he gave me the thumbs up and exited off the highway a short time later.
I have to be honest, I really thought it would be closer! I can't imagine what would happen if I ran into an SS camaro. Are these really that much faster??? It seemed to be an automatic ZL1, I have no clue if there faster but I did not notice him shifting at all and remember him having both hands on the wheel when I did see him.
My mods are AED performance tune, cat delete and steeda intake. Pretty sure his ZL1 was a bone stock auto...
I tried my best to video tape the race but I could not hold the camera with one hand and shift with the other and steer at the same time! LOL! This would have been a youtube sensation if I caught it on video!
