this is so funny, I was selling alarms today and I knocked at a house where they had a nice 2002 Black Camaro SS, Ram Air, K&N filter, cat back exhaust, chip (HPP+), the guy opened the door and I tried to sell the alarm, I couldn't convince him to get the alarm, his excuse was kind of dumb, he said he had a shot gun and he was nuts, I said if you are so nuts I'll race you, if I win you get the alarm, if you win you don't get it or if you get it I'll give you 5 months free. He asked me what I drove and I pointed at my car a few houses down the block, he thought I was joking and was sure my car couldn't perform versus his "monster" ( he didn't know anything about the E55, which was good) so he accepted, we went no too far to a safe place where we could do about a quarter mile race (actually longer because i got my car to 110 mph).
His wife flagged for us! we both took off right at the same time and by the time I was doing 60 mph he was on my rear door, by the time we did 100 mph he was just behind me! and at 110 MPH I started to brake, earning an alarm sale! YES!!!
The guy kept his word and after a couple of hours of talking i left his house with the sale and my pride higher than ever, hahahaha, that was a lot of fun, I need to pick more GM V8's as customers!!!! LOL

LOL, you'll get your chance when you move to Houston, but judging by your signature you'll have free alarm service for almost half a year!

The 6 cylinder Camaro is actually pretty ood, not a V* by any means, but it is still responsive, it'd be interesting to see who wins

Hey Poch!

I'm selling Kleemann superchagers for the Mercedes I'll race you in my 430 for a sale! If I win, you buy the Kleemann and have it installed by us that month. If you win, you can either keep your car (cause it's already fast) how it is, or you can have it installed by us, and I'll pay for the labor. What do you say?
