There's not a doubt it my mind that if we kept on it to 140+, the vette would have just stomped me. The power/weight ratio advantage I have means nothing against wind drag.
Btw, I just took a video of the speedo on the way home from work tonight. Pulling from 35mph to 120mph took 13 seconds according to the little clock in my phone. I'll probably post it tomorrow. I have a cable at work I can transfer it with. You can tell it's a base model neon and not an SRT by the lack of a factory tach and 120mph speedo. (I added a little autometer 2 1/16 to the A pillar next to the boost controller and wideband...)
So the Z28 Camaros have come with both the LT1 and LS1, right? And the LS1 is the higher compression one, and makes more power? I would be willing to bet the one I came across wasn't the faster one. I would have had a lot more trouble with it. Wasn't a V6 either though. I could hear the V8.

Your lucky you raced a Z28 and not an SS or it would have stomped you...

RE: easy ones
We were sitting at a light in the Camaro one night (my son driving) when this incredibe civic pulled up. As riced out as I've ever seen: pop-riveted-on slots, louvers, scoops, air damns and a double spoiler in back, some decals, etc. Three or four jerks yammering at us inside The driver grinned at us and reved his engine -- typical big far-can muffler buzz with some sort of pop off valve sound -- maybe he had a turbo, not that it would have mattered..
I reached over and pushed the button to open the electric cut outs, and the engine idle changed to that heavy, flat tone of open header pipes. Then my son blipped the throttle to 4000 RPM - and it was LOUD!!!!
They didn't even try when the light went green.
