Default Raced a Probe

Well no one believed me the other time so hopefily this time is better. People told me my English is not well so Ill try really hard to use periods.

I have 82 Camaro V6. It has some mods and a real strong motor from the factory cuz it runs REAL hard for a v6 seriously. I was driving on 2 lane street and come to light and Probe comes next to me. I look at him and rev but he wont look at me I thought he was scarred. But when light turn green he rev up to redline and was gone quick but I wasnt about to lose. I drop clutch and floored it, within seconds I was FLYING past him! My mods are custom intake, race exhaust, gear. I also have the light tires. And the probe said GT, I thought they were fast like the Pontiac GT, guess not. I smoked him and I know he will be afraid to mess with anymore Camaros, so no need to flame I give them good respect!

Hey, would you be willing to take your car up to the dragstrip. Then we could see how fast your car actually is and then people MIGHT (but prolly still will) not give you as much crap.

When you say lightweight, you mean they are shorter or narrower? What is the tire size? Im curious cause you also said you had done gears, what gears?

Drivetrain for Probes was done by Mazda so technically you raced an MX-6.

Dude where do you get your information? The probe was discontinued. They still make the Mustang. The majority of probes are really slow. I have seen a few that have had a boatload of money thrown into them and they were somewhat quick. But the dont compare with a V8 F body. I still think you need to work on your english as it is hard to read. If its your second language I understand though.

I think he means wheels...draglites,,prostars...convo pros....
any of those would be really lightweight...im assuming he has headers and other matching components....the probe at its best made 150hp in a dohc v6....there was also the s0hc turbo versions 145hp...and an n/a version with 120hp....

sounds about like you ran one of the v6 probes if it had a gt badge on it.....good kill "i guess"
