Default Having some fun..

After watching the new F&F me and my girl went out to the local street meet and hung out with some friends watching everyone play. Me and a couple of friends were at the end of the strip watching some runs, everyone else was at the start. A friend of mine had just passed us running his LT1 Camaro vs. a 350Z(Stock LT1, CA1, pulled the 350Z by a length..). They turned around and stuff, and I pulled out to go with them to where everyone else was at.

Well the kid in the 350Z was going about 20mph.. and we had a ways to go so I went to pass him. He down shifted and gunned it as I was passing him. I popped it into 2nd and punched it, pulling about 2 lengths, then short-shifted it at 5K, got into 3rd and pulled another 2 or 3..then slowed down.

After we parked I went over to talk to him..he was like "damn man..that was brutal..lol" I asked him if he was expecting that, he was like "hell no..I just barely got beat by that LT1 camaro..yours is crazy fast..as soon as you pulled away as quick as you did I was like WTF..lol"

I then told him what I had in it and he was like that's too much..lol

Good times..
