Default Boom goes the camaro

So on way to the VA today i run up on traffic and car in frint of me is a 5th gen camaro. Speed limit is 55 but everyone doing 35. So when ooening open ups the camaro and i shoot out around 3 cars and the leader of the pack going slow. Now is when gets funny. Camaro slows down to about 60 but im running late. So i pop out to go around him to. Soon i nail it as i get ready to go around he tries to nail it too. That was the end of his pull. White smoke everywhere.

I slowed down to see if kept going ir what. But he never came. So i go to my appointment and stop at the car still on side if road on way back. No ine was tbere but you could see oil down road to it and puddle under. I felt bad for who ever. But i think it was the big 22" wheels on it.

So far hes the onky car that has even tried to play. The car scene here is dead.

I guess this is one moment where the phrase "Bigger is better" is invalid

After reading that OP saw that giant puddle of oil, I think it's safe to say he's gonna have to break his piggy bank

Nice kill, both literally and figuratively.

I'm assuming he was running nitrous and made the cardinal rule of hitting the juice at too low an rpm. No stock motor likes to have double it's normal torque at 3k rpms...
