Default V6 camaro beat my 02 formy?

Okay so I was cruising on the hwy when a blacked out debadged 5th gen came up next to me. I couldn't hear any exhaust or see any badges, so he punches it and just messing with me. So I catch back up and we punch it at about 80, run them up to 100? And I barely have a car on this camaro.
He told me it was a stock v6. We raced again at 75 and he jumped me but I caught up and at 110 I had a car? Is this right? I'm kinda confused cause I didn't think they were that fast...

They aren't that fast. Sounds like you might need a tune up?

Was your car tuned by guitar? sounds like a setup he'd run or something he is capable of.

I had a SN95 stay right at my bumper from 40 - 100 in my 402 GTO and I got the same response when asked what he had done. Maybe he was lying??

Ive ran a stock 2011 v6 in my pretty stock 2000 camaro from a 45-120ish roll and never saw more than the nose of the car, he either lied or you need a tune up

What I was getting at is some people like sleepers and to surprise people and you probably ran one of the 2 V8 models.

Sounds to me like you've been had...did you see the front to see if it had the intake slit in the scoop?

And yes an o2 sensor that's bad will create poor fuel trims which can make the car run bad at WOT since it will lock in adding that much fuel to the WOT fueling. Get it fixed asap. It will also cause poor fuel mileage.

I'm pretty sure it did have a slit in it. I really hope that bastard was lying

Imagine a mid 90s V6 looking Mustang hanging right on your 450+ rwhp built motors ***. I wasn't happy, especially after he said it was a stock V6. I think he was pretty happy though.

Replace the sensors for sure. The other code(and I don't really remember them) sounds like it may be telling you the mass air meter is bad. It could be an electrical issue, like it's unplugged, or something else for all I can remember. Replace the sensors and re-check the codes before buying more stuff.
