Default Killed my first SS. w/ 99TA

Was on my way to get dinner, saw him fly up behind me. so i said eh what the hell i see SS badges he only has a couple hp on me. so he floors it from a car back, i hear him get next to me at about 40mph and i floor it, pulled away from him and then back off at about 110 or so. He started to follow me, so i made a U turn and he still followed. I go the speed limit again and he pulls up next to me with a grin, i held up my fingers 3 2 1 we take off, we get to about 80 and a car gets in the way. i was half a car on him though. i was quiet proud with only a borla, and intake/lid.

Overall cool guy though talked to me at the nearest red light about the "race"

Most SS's are just overgrown catfishes...I still think GM should have given them the LS6 during its last year. Not surprised you were able to walk away from him...some are faster/slower than others. Mine is one of the slow ones for sure.

Nah, no difference really. It all varies. Nice Kill though!

You guessed it right...little to none is the power difference. GM did a good job with their marketing though since you thought that...fortunately for you, you witnessed reality.

Good job, that's how you put a Malibu SS in its proper place.
