Default Stock 99 z28 vs...Cavaleir ???

I really shouldn't even post this, but damnit no one ever wants to race, so this joker has to do. I dunno the year, prolly late 90's like maybe 99 or 2000 model, and I know it's a 5 speed, with fart can sound and all. This guy was in front of me actin stupid , speeding up and slowing down, then there is a split passing lane coming up and he edges over, and I just cruz upand he downshifts and hits it, I just lay it down and pass him and leave him in the freakin dust, then he waits till later there is a nother passing zone and comes around me all crazy and gets up to like 100 or so, I fllowed up to 85 but backed off, or with a few more seconds I would have been under the rear bumper of his car. Anyways we get to a stop light and he rolls down his window and ask whatcha got in that thang? All I said is "An LS1" and drove away as he said "NICE!". It was just kind of odd that he would even attempt to do something like that, I mean a V6 camaro could get him. I am stock exept for a cut out which makes people think I am highly modded, which I don't understand, becasue honestly it's not that freakin loud, can't wait to get headers and a cam though. Enough of me ramblin'...

A newer Z24 (1999ish) is pretty quick , I had a friend that went low 15s at around 90mph in one with a CAI and muffler. Not 'good' compared to an LS1 but compared to a V6 Camaro it was great.

Yep, I used to surprise guys in Z24s when (for some reason) they thought my stock Integra GS-R was easy prey. But I did the same thing to NPI Mustang GTs and V6 F-bodies too
