Default 02ws6 vs 10ss

So after a long day of being a good big brother and taking my kid sister all over to find a prom dress, unsuccessfully, I'm taking her home and calling it a night..

So as I pull up to a stop light at the entrance to the freeway, I notice a white 2010 Camaro.

Well expecting a v6 I don't get my hopes up but as I pull up...."YES!!". An SS badge!!!!

Well the light turns green and I ease off the clutch and hear the SS hit it hard and pull out in front of me a tad, but half expecting this I'm ready and slam it..

Here we go it's on!!!


I get to the top of first and boom hit second. Now he doesn't have a nose we are dead even.

Boom I hit third, still dead even if anything I have him by an inch or two, then being excited I shift into 4th at only 5300 ((DOH!!!))

And holy **** I pull a nose on him!!!!!!?! I start to slightly pull until he's just behind my door and brake lights in front of me, so Im hard on the brakes!!!

I pull in behind the SS and go around the slow car. My kid sister looks up from her cell phone sees the SS and goes "were we just racing". ::facepalm::

I pull back up to the SS and see the guys wife ear to ear with a grin as bug as mine. I give the thumbs up and continue to drop of my kid sister...

/story


First real win in the ws6 and against a worthy foe!!

Sorry no vids it was a spur of the moment race!!


" all races happened on a closed course by professional drivers any implication otherwise was just a figment of your imagination!!"

Was it auto SS? The L99s are so hindered by TM and the stock tune from what I've heard, that it makes them pretty big dogs bone stock.

I'm not worried with bolt-ons it should be a good race. Is your car completely stock?

@ls1rob bone stock unless you count tr55 plugs and new paper filter (wix) and synthetic oil lol. And I think it was an auto though I can't be sure since I wasn't given a chance to ask.

I expected the outcome to be the exact opposite but hey a win is a win!!

And fwiw my sister was brought up with hot rods " mine mostly" all her life so although she can't drive to save her life, isn't a typical teen age girl who even butts an eye at hot rodding, she just knows her fav car is a Corvette lol!!
