Default Anyone Know This Guy?

A pewter SS with black stripes, centermount exhaust, and chrome SS wheels kept revving at me on Westheimer on my way home from work this afternoon. I revved back at him then put it on him right after Hwy 6. Does anyone know this guy? I sure hope his car was stock. Sorry if it sounds like I'm talking a bunch of ****, but he sure didn't have the bite to go with the bark.

Be careful - he might have had a quiet turbo setup

I already drug his ***. If he has a turbo, it was taking a nap.

Did he leave 150 horsepower at home? I drug him hard. Granted my **** is nowhere near stock, but I expected more of a fight from all that revving he was doing at me.

422 cubic inches of slow. I still have the stock cam and rear. I dynoed 417 before the heads and intake. Like I said, I was never exactly expecting him to keep up, but are you sure you have the right guy? It sure didn't seem like he was anywhere near 408.

I got a chance to talk to the guy tonight. He seems like a cool cat. He said he wasn't all the way in it. I guess it's a good thing I wasn't either as I barely got the car to stop in time. I must have missed him when he busted a u-turn at the light to go to work. I told him to go get some more mods and come back and see me. He has a very clean car nonetheless.

Sounds like they were running out of clear road, and the SS driver had more sense than dramamama.
