When I had the v6 in my car, I would like to give the v8 guys a surprise when I was keeping up with them on the bottle :P

Socom I had no idea you were doing a V8 swap. Nice.

The 50 shot I was running really made it pick up. I think I lost a second on the 1/4 mile.

You guys aren't going to believe this, but I actually found the guy! I was trolling through Craigslist for Camaros, maybe trying to find something I can pick apart for... Parts... and I found this post:

94 camaro z28

I know you may think it's a long shot, but I can't forget that badge on the rear end, and the location is right around the corner from where it happened. Retribution time?

I completely see what the original poster is saying. I get that from any other car on the street, doesn't even have to be another Camaro. What I hate worse is when someone rides your bumper as if you're "suppose" to be breaking the speed limit laws. Or the way they seem to feel if they successfully pass you with no desire to race them. Congratulations...you just raced and beat a cool car. Woo hoo you. (eye roll)I've been on the other side with a 2nd Gen V8 Z28 for 5 years and I prefer my current gas mileage.

He doesn't seem too bright. That whole ad was one long sentence.

Dont think that because you have a V6 that you cant take a V8 in a race. With my 3.8L car I took down a early 90's Mustang GT. I didnt flat out leave him in the dust but I did pass him and when we ended up at the stop at the end of the road he was really suprised to find out I was only rolling with 6. Your V6 will be able to smoke most stock v8s from the 70s to the early 90's and a few modified ones too. My Sarah was a smooth and fun cruiser that I really enjoyed driving.
