Default LS1 Z28 vs Regal

This happened coming home from the Casino last night with 3 other passengers in the car, one of them is over 250lbs. Red Camaro flies past me on the highway onramp, he was alone. There were 2 cars in the distance sort of pacing each other so they held him up, giving me time to catch him.

He waited behind the guy in the left lane, as soon as they cleared the car in the right lane and the car ahead of him moved over, he gunned it. The car was really loud so I'm assuming he had at least headers and a catback on it. It was that straight pipes sound, not just a catback sound.

I got on it right after him and who would have guessed... spin city from 50mph. Hooked up around 80 and started gaining on him quick. He got out about 3 car lengths from the hit but by ~110 (shift to 3rd) I had already caught him and had a serious head of steam when coming around. I brought it up to 130 and had an easy 5 lengths on him.

I let off and ease on the brakes... he keeps going.
Never got to ask his mods

Only took 10psi to work that Z28.
What would be awesome is if that Camaro driver was on this forum.

No vids?? What, none of your fat friends in the car had a camera phone?? I know one of you had plenty of time to pull it out..we all know it went something like.


Ju1ce: Hey, hey..turn that down! (turns down radio playing Taylor Swift)

Friend 1: What the hell dude, I love that song!!

Ju1ce: Yeah, me too, but check out the Z28 up ahead!

F2: WTF! Damn Taco Bell shorted me 15 cents!

F1: (pulls out phone)

Ju1ce: Dude, put that away, my car is so fast it would be pointless to video record it. Plus my car does better when there are no vids! Remember I beat that GTR, Viper, and BOSS 5.0...and guess what, no vids!

F1: Oh yeah, good point!

Regal: Super duper sonic power breaks the tires loose..mean while camaro is pulling..

Camaro: Lets off at 100 mph

Regal: Gaining...then flies by camaro and still going! (5 cars ahead)

Ju1ce: WHOOOOOOooo hell ya!!! Beat it by 5 cars! Can't wait to tell everyone on SRKS

F1: ...nice, but he let off...

Ju1ce: SHUT UP MAN, no one will know!

F2: Thats great, can you turn up the radio again, I think I hear the BSB's playing!!

The END

Not trying to be a ***** or anything, but if this is true it sounds like he let out and you did a ricer fly by on him within such a short window of acceleration.

Soo you had an extra 550-600lbs in your Regal. And you pulled him 8 car lengths within 50mph (80-130)....

He was definitely in it, and stayed it in well after I let off.
By the time I caught him at 110 I was probably going 10-15mph faster than he was. Which is why I stacked up 5+ lengths from 110-130.

Thanks! I wish I got to talk to the guy
The car was an a4, you could hear it clear as day. I'm assuming he had headers/catback/lid... probably a 320whp car.

Just pump gas, 93 octane.
I think the car will do 120mph in the 1/4 at the current power level.
