Wish I could have gotten some video, but this is how it went down.
I came up on a brand new Camaro SS, not even tagged yet, doing about 85-90. He sped up and pulled up beside me and started taunting me.
Since I had my wife with me I just laughed it off as he sped away. She then asked why I let him get away with being a jerk like that. I responded because she was there with me. She said just don't get in trouble--I was shocked.
I kicked down and passed him with me doing in the upper 140's-lower 150's and then slowed down for an upcoming exit--he followed and got on my tail at the red light.
I took a slow left with him right on my tail. I did the three count (rolling about 5 mph) and we both took off. The distance steadily grew as the speeds increased. As we approached 120ish I came up on some traffic and had to slow down. He was a good 3-4 car lengths behind me just before that.
I'm totally stock except for having the resonator removed and BBS wheels.
Thought it was pretty good considering it was a hot day and I had been running some pretty high speeds prior to the actual race.

Awesome! bet hes going to return the Camaro! lol great post

jddumas

It was a closed course so no laws broken! ;-)

jddumas

Thanks guys. I think so too. It's taken time but she is starting to understand. She now wants to upgrade her 528i for an Audi S5 and wants Eisenmann exhaust put on it. I hear they are pretty quick as well but have never encountered one to see.

jddumas

LOL. The SS was able to hang in there pretty well though. He certainly had his head held high when I turned off and he saluted as he passed.

as expected---- good kill

I have been stacking up Camaro SS kills weekly it seems. Is there some huge rebate on those things by Chevy? Gheesh. Nice kill.

GHAZAN

your wife lets you go 140-150mph? i call bs on that since your ankle weight probably can only top out at 100mph

jddumas

That's what I say but she is hung up on the S5.

jddumas

LOL. Must be on sale or something. There are some modded ones around here though that are really fast from what I hear.

jddumas

She is actually cool about it as long as it's under the right conditions. She has been with me a few times in the 140's. Just a cool chick. On top of that she is 6'0" and incredibly beautiful!

I too have noticed a few of these SS's running around in my neck of the woods. How do you think my stock 09 E63 would fair against one?

I'm stock and did well so I would expect you would too. We are probably pretty close to the same from 0-120 I would think--but not certain. Maybe some of the more experienced folks would know or you could do a forum search and get feedback.

No BS jddumas and his wife are close friends, both share love for German cars. Unfortunate that there are not many AMG's owners here. Summer is around the corner and brutal here, looking forward to doing some cooling upgrades soon.

Would have been a bad outcome if the supercharger shut off.

I saw a red SS today out on a stretch of 23, was a dealer plate and looked to be a test drive, sticker in window. teased em but the guy (older- 40s-50s) wouldn't bite

AMG_RL

actually there was! Chevy was offering them at way below MSRP because after the whole Transformers allure wore off their sales began to plummet. My Uncle picked up a 6spd SS for a steal.

150mph on a public highway. 120mph on a public road.

you're cool.

03'55AMG

He was just showing that he's not taking any **** from no Chevy,

In all seriousness though, That is a bit fast for a public road

jddumas

No worries, it was closed. It's a track/training facility. About all I can say.
