You should have no problem with him, E55Bullet has a good point: Do the reset, just in case. And yeah check that IC pump. But you should dust him no problem, definitely from a dig. The V is a joke unless it's modded, not even a race. But I would think the SS shouldn't be a problem.

Also have a friend with an 03 CTS-V who thinks he's faster too. It's tough being at the top of the food chain. Always gotta prove your mettle against the young bucks

Thanks fellas, love the board
I have run 2- and SLAUGHTERED THEM. I mean 6 or so cars by 100.

I can only say that after driving two of the V6 versions of the Government Motors Camaro I can say-ouch-this is it? OK, it is not the V8, but I'm referring to the interior. Such a let down. Ran a CTS-V around that year last week, not even close and so he shut down to not repeat the slaying at the next light.

There was a manual SS at Sac raceway last night and I wasn't impressed. Maybe he couldn't drive but he was even Close to making it into the 12s which is what I have seen most stock 55s run. The M5 there was low 13s and he was beating him, don't waste your gas or let him jump on you to get all excited then walk right by him. That's what I'd do haha!
