Edged out a C6

Driving home from the drags today, and i see a bright red C6 ahead of me in very light traffic on an open 4 lane. I pulled up beside it, and i saw it was an old man, like in his sixties, so im like crap, he wont do anything. so i pass by him and he floors it right after that passing me slowly with a big smile . So i let him go. i was at the top of third gear, and he was a carlength ahea, and he floored it. so i nailed it at around 4k rpms, we were the same distance from each other for a second, then i STARTED TO REEL HIM IN

!!! i then passed him at the top of fourth, shifting into fifth as i did. The guy had his huge smile and a thumbs up, and i did the same. Good times.

I think you already are.

But yeah, I'm definitely gonna be a cool old guy racing the **** out of whatever I'm driving. I plan to have a decent DD and an awesome weekend warrior later in life.

Im think with a big *** cam like that you would have taken care of him rather easily right? I mean shouldnt a full bolt on camaro take a stock c6?? Maybe I am completely wrong.
