So I'm cruising home tonite...finally a nice clear day so the sunroof is open and windows down. Its a three lane highway...just going 70. Traffic has cleared up and I'm making my way up a longer hill...when I see a newer camaro up ahead who is going about 65. As I get closer I see the SS badge, different exhaust...and notice some pillar gauges, hmmmm. Up ahead there is a light...where 3 lanes merge to 2 shortly after. As I'm cresting the hill I think "Dear God please do not turn red!" ...knowing that there is a possibility this guy will race...and utterly kill me, haha!



Sure enough...as soon as I see the light...it turns red. Dammit!!! Both left hand lanes are taken up with cars so I merge over to the right lane...the one that eventually merges. And guess who pulls in behind me, lol. So as I look in the rear view I see its an older guy with his wife. Just as I think "nah, this guy won't beat on me"...I hear a slight rev...accompanied by a supercharger wine!!! uh oh...This is gonna be ugly.



At this point I'm debating...do I even launch and go for it...or just surrender and let him stomp me. The light turns green and I don't launch hard...but floor it soon enough. I take all the other cars off the line...and see the camaro is still glued to my bumper. As we both merge left, he pulls around in the fast lane and guns it...and just blasts past me. OMG!!! I have never been killed so bad. That thing was insane. By 80mph he must have had at last 10 car lengths on me....easy...if more! lol. Not that I expected much from my 160hp 13 year old FC...but YIKES! Even with my T2 he would have slayed me easily.



He got up to about 90, braked, and then got back to crusing at 65. I caught up to him and gave a thumbs up. Seemed like a cool guy who also gave the thumbs up, smiled, and waved...nice



Ah well...sorry I couldn't score one for the rotary...but at least it was a loss to a cool guy in a car that has 4 times the horsepower! I am usually one to avoid heavily weighted races...but this one I couldn't get away from

A supercharged SS is nothing to be fucked with... That's a sick fast daily driver.

yeah, just in the n/a...thats my daily driver...T2 still packed up from the winter.



Dumbrotorkid: Did u mean 12 flat...or any 12's? I think its almost possible to score high 12's with a stock LS1 SS...let alone one with forced induction
