Driving home from work, minding my own, doing 65 in the middle lane. A yellow 3000gt pulls up to me and paces me in the left hand lane. I have to look over since he's pacing me, and he has this **** eating grin on his face. Clearly he wants a run.
I point forward, and with a smirk he shrugs, sure, why not. As if he has a big surprise waiting for me. He throws a couple revs so I could hear his turbos spool. I dont know if they were completely stock, but they wernt overly loud, although I could hear them over my open cutouts.
I point to his car, and then point forward, signaling him to take the jump, as i shift from 6th, to 5th to 4th. By now my car is singing around 3.5 rpm at around 50 MPH. He must know what he's in for. I hear his turbos start to spool and he starts pulling forward. I think to myself, no break boost? Regardless, its on.
I downshift to third and unleash hell. The tires bark just a chirp as I dump the clutch. My car sounds like the apocalypse is coming as I scream past him. I take the car just past the shift light (about 6800) in third gear, and get out of it. By now I have a good 4 or 5 car lengths on him, in what seems like barely 2 seconds. I gently hit the breaks to signal that Im out and coast back down to speed, and throw a chacka out the window in a sign of good sportsmanship. He must have given up, but still passed me going a good 15 MPH faster than me since I slowed down. He cut over 3 lanes and took the first exit he saw. I wish I could have seen his face.

Thanks guys. It feels a little bit like taking lunch money from a gay, crippled, retarded midget. I was really sure he had some more mods the way he came up with that smirk across his face. Maybe it was his first remotely-fast car and its a lot faster in his mind still. Maybe he just never ran a camaro before. A stock LS1 would have still run right by him, im sure.

Heres what 3000gt owners think of our cars.
Sounds about right if it was stock.
All your really need to pull a LT1 or LS1 TA or camaro is 14 or more psi and a healthy motor.
Stuff like open elements, Dp and the rest of the catback only make you pull away harder.
Even before I put on the 13t's I would have to think long and hard to even remember a TA that gave me any sort of trouble. Even the modded ones you can get with a good launch to about 95 or so.
