Default Had to back up a fellow F-body on the highway.

I was driving home about 9:30 at night when it happened. As I was approaching the the on ramp two cars came down quickly ahead of me. It was a Z28 not sure of the exact year (was an LS1) and a turd Neon Skittle. They the Camaro made it's way on the interstate the skittle whipped around him in front of me and paced him.

They slowed to 50, so I switched over behind the Camaro because I'll pass his *** too. They beeped them one two three,they left even but the SRT pulled away...3 cars WTF? And they let off at 80. I know it was 80 because I swapped lanes and pulled up on the skittle at 80 I hit the breaks.

They try one more time, slowing to 60. I stay behind the skittle about 2 cars they beep it off and away they go. The skittle pulled away again with me behind him, the Camaro owner pointed as I pass him (like Catch him and bust his ***). I swap lanes at around 90 and go full throttle now and pull the skittle by more than 6 cars to 110 now leaving the camaro way back ( buses)

I slowed back down the skittle gave the the ricer fart by and went on the Camaro caught back up and had his thumb up. He must have been close to stock. Either way I couldn't just watch it happen. I just wish i had my bottles i would have made him think twice about screwing with an F-body again.

Neon Birdshit Green vs. Camaro Hunter Green. One is much less fruity than the other.

Yeah, but those are F-bodies. They look good in those colors. Neons, look like crap in any color.


Nice on backing him up by the way.

Woot, it's good to see you chime in Burn em!

I'm use to reading all the drama. Makes it more interesting but oh well.

What's your next setup? I know you have been pondering for awhile.

not to mention the profile of a neon is very much like a skittle.

Haha.

Nice kill, OP. Can we get any more specs on your car than what's in your sig? By the way, it sounds like that Neon was FAR from stock if he put 3 lengths on an LS1 from just 50-80. That's pretty sick. But it sounds like you gave him a whoopin! Like I said in my previous thread, taste the rainbow.

Now that would be silly for me to remove the blower that came STOCK just to lower myself down to be just a lil faster than you guys...

thats what I have the FOCI for
