Default It was a good day for for 4th gen fbodies today!!!

Went to a large car show today, about a 140 cars, and of course there was no class for us modern cars..

So its me against all the 1st gens (mostly).. Well long story short I won "The Greatest Camaro" (funny title).. It was nice to be recognized for the car even though its not 30 years old.

The judges told me that I had by far the most detail into the car and that it was the "little details" that won it for me

Needless to say I was a happy camper!

Then to top it off I spanked a Mustang GT (all done up and what not) on the way home.. we were at a light in an empty area, he had a buddy in a early 4th gen behind him, and he proceeds to heat up his tires with a big burn out next to me. So I just raise the revs a tad and when the light turns I killed him up to 50mph or so.. then I shut it down.. beat him soooooo bad..

I usually dont play on the street but a "little" fun should be ok.. I even through him a thumbs up at the end..

So all in all.. a good day for representing the 4th gens!!
