Pumped up a Camaro ss
Hardly a race, but I bet the Camaro SS thinks he had a kill! I had a new Camaro SS on my tail as I was pulling away from a light. I was probably in third gear when the Camaro downshifted and went to pass me on the right. After I heard him floor the car, I stepped floored my car. Too late, he passed me on the right and then cut me off. Next time I'll downshift ahead of time when I'm being tailed.

I got killed in my local little area by a guy in a hemi 300c. Cept I was in my QX56 Luxury Liner. Raced home and whipped in the house and snagged my Beast keys and went out hunting but couldn't find him. "Someone was bout to get himself and azz whoopin"
Wife was laughing. She knew exactly what had happened.

I had two cute girls driving a Camaro RS Convertible. I was on the phone when we left the first stop light and they jumped on it. Got off my call before we left the second light. Gave them 2 car lengths and then showed them what's what. Old man cars can be pretty quick too!

I can see it already getting distorted on the Camaro forums today
"There I was guys, side by side with an E55. I look over and he gives me the 3 sign. On third honk, I hear the blower on the AMG roar. He had to be heavily modded, but to my surprise I pulled hard on him! He was shocked. I was so far ahead I showed him by just easily pulling into his lane. He did the German ricer flyby and went on his way. What a kill"

haha you gotta love it! I've yet to encounter any Camaros on the road...they seem to know better and move out of my way when they see me.
They might not want to admit it, but even American muscleheads have to give respect to the AMG badge.

LOL ... When I drive my other cars (the slow ones) and this happens, I often feel like doing this but have never actually "gone hunting"! Haha!

Was the Camaro stock? They're pretty heavy beasts, I think it weighs the same as the 55 with less power and torque plus the Merc seems to put the power down better.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
I have beat up on so may of those porker SS's, it's no longer interesting. I leave them to Civics and Scions. 
Wife wanted one a while back-until she saw the interior. 
Could have pieced together a nicer interior from the local PickAPart.

That is very true. I had a 2011 SS 6-Speed. Traded it in on my E63. They come with the launch control...if the owner knows how to use it. In a straight line they have the potential to be potent. It often comes down to whether or not the driver knows how to properly launch the car. Most do not.
