My 427 SS vs SOM Z28 This was last week, I was driving to work in my daily driver T/A. And two days in a row I came across this SOM Z28 with full exhaust and a healthy cam. Thats about all I can guess on mods.
So anyways he always tries to get some action from me in my slow T/A.
3rd day I said **** it, and broke out my SS and hope to run into him again on the way to work. I sure did!
He bucked up with a blip of the throttle, wanting to go, even though there was cars RIGHT in front of us??? I was like WTF??? Come on!!!
So I slow him down from 50mph - 20mph and let the cars ahead get away from us.
I blipped the throttle a few times and he did, I gave a good tap and he went. I gave him about 1 car and the move. I stayed in 2nd gear (less spin then 1st) and reel him back fast and got out 2-3 on him in 2nd gear then came back up on traffic.
I slowed down and rolled the windows down and wanted ask him if I should have been in my other car .......SOM T/A??? lol
But after that little run he never got back up next to me. I guess he was mad or sad I don't know.
Peace,
Craig.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I appreciate it man! 
I have been taking the T/A to work again (daily driver), but have not seen him since the day I was in my SS.
SSmokin99 - I have a few vids, most when I was heads/cam. But none uploaded. I'll try to get some uploaded here.
Ok Chad, I'll try to be "PC" here. "My slower of the two cars...." Better? lol
Thanks again guys,
Craig.

If I was referring to Craig's, I would of replied to his or an empty reply.
