[QUOTE="ShaneCobra74, post: 15467329, member: 166246"] Today was a very nice day for a ride in the Cobra, so I broke it out of the garage for one of it's last cruises before it goes away for the winter. This thing has a WOT box and other goodies that I'm trying to figure out how to drive. So, I'm out and about with my 2.3 whippled SRA 3.73 car pushing 600 to the wheels when this young man comes up in a left turn lane with his new Camaro SS and wants to get in front of me. I acknowledge him to come over and my dumbass didn't realize at first that he wanted to run. Stupid me. So, I'm in the left lane and he's in front of me. He gets over to the right lane and slows down... okay, so now I get what's going on. Very well, then. I look around for a sec to ensure we are in a good spot and then downshift into second gear to go. He says 'go' and hits the throttle. I immediately have to pedal out of second and into third, fighting for traction as he disappears beside me. I get to about 90, then I catch up to traffic. I slow down and then he comes up beside me. He's yelling across the lane, "What do you have done?" I responded "2.3 Whipple!". At that point, he tries to jump away from me and not thinking, I forget I'm in 4th, so I hit it in 4th and still manage to pull him by half a car. After that, I motion for him to pull over into a gas station because I'm generally curious of his car. Turns out he had a 2017 Camaro SS, 8 speed auto. From what he told me it has 400-something rear wheel. The best part, though, was seeing the look on his face when he got out of his car. It was almost indescribable- like a cross between seeing Jesus and running over his dog. I introduced myself and we began to chat about the cars. He was like a kid at Christmas looking at the old snake. He was more interested in my car than telling me about his. So, I eventually walked him back to his car and asked about the SS. He just bought it and had 4,000 miles. He seemed a little frustrated and asked how he did- I said, "not bad- you're car is super nice." I didn't have the heart to tell him that I can't drive this monster yet- LOL! We shook hands and parted ways. SS Camaro.... TERMINATED.. All I can say is- He asked for it. Thanks for reading, guys.
