The land of commies and socialists!
A few days ago I decided to take my car out for a nice cruise on a nice curvey road I frequent. As usual I went out to the usual intersection and made a U-turn to come back after some fun. Just as I cleared the small town on the way back I noticed a new silver camaro in my mirror. I was so happy because I had been trying to race one of these cars since they came out but no dice, till now. I was hoping it was an SS.

He kept up with me as expected through the corners. Finally we got to the 4 mile stretch of road that is pretty straight. He pulled along side of me doing about 60 and jumped on it.

I was actually waiting for it and was already in third. He still got the jump on me by about a 1/2 car when I stopped his pull and started the walk. As I passed him he did not look happy. When I shut it down at 120 I had him by 3 cars and saw him shaking his head. We went again with an very similar result. We both made a left onto another road that instantly turned into one lane and I let him go ahead since he had already lost twice and he tried to run away. This is when I found out it was indeed an SS as I had suspected from the first pull. I jumped on it again and realed him in at around 90 or so. He eventually turned off and gave me the thumbs up.

I have been waiting to run one of these cars for a long time. I have been wondering how I would do and can say I am very happy with my little 2v and kenne bell.

I would tell you about the civic I beat but honestly it wasn't a win it was a beating! Poor shit talking kid.

Im sure he thought it would be an easy win for him. I have a 2.1 kenne bell on my 04 mustang also. It evens out the playing field pretty good!

i ran one a few weeks ago. after i dusted him 3 times he blamed it on him having an auto. i told him i was an auto, too. then he said i must have a blower and took off.

nice kill man...I've also been hoping to run up on a newer ss myself just to see how I'd do. a stock one of course and preferably an auto so my chances go up lol.

You have more mods than me and and I fared well so you should be able to beat a "stock" automatic L99 camaro.

I've seen new SS1's in stock form make 364 on the dyno. Should've been a closer race IMO but there are too many other variables to add into it. Nice kill!

yeah but the SS weighs like 500-600 pounds more.

Yes Sir, I agree. Like I said though, too many other variables involved. Do we know the weight of the OP, or the driver of the SS? Just last week my buddy and I ran our 03's. My brother and I were in my car and together we weigh about 430lbs. My buddy and his woman were in his with a combined weight of "maybe" 350lbs. He makes 13 more rwhp, I make 12 more ft/lbs of torque. I beat him by a fender 2 out of 3 times. Get rid of the passengers and I might have had a 1/2-1 full car on him. Trust me I hate Failmaro's more than anyone and it's great whenever I see or hear of a Mustang beating one. :beer:
