Just a quick story... For those of you that have driven it, the stretch between Tulsa and OKC on I-44 is pretty damn boring. It's a 75 mph speed limit but everyone does 80+ mph.
Enough background... On to the fun part. So here I am, doing about 85 with cruise control set in the right lane. Just minding my own business. I look up in the rear view mirror to see a bright orange with white stripe SS Camaro come flying up in the left lane only to slow down abruptly. Driver is older, probably in his 50's and his wife is glaring at me out the passenger window. He starts bumping me a bit, trying to see if I will bite.
Now normally I wouldn't oblige, not into illegal racing. But it's a new gen SS! I have always wanted to race one as they are bigger motor cars with more HP.
Guys, let's just say it wasn't even a race. He was downshifting and double clutching to get everything possible out of that thing and I wasn't even giving the Boss a WOT pull. The guy wouldn't let up after 3 or 4 pulls from 60 mph up to around 100 so I decided to show him something Camaro owners aren't familiar with. Slowed down to juts under 60 in 5th and double clutched down to 3rd, barking the tires. Takes a lot of power to chirp rubber at 60 mph. Interestingly enough, after that demonstration of power, he slowed down and disappeared over time
God I love these cars. We truly do drive legendary machines and at 26 years old, I am willing to admit I'm one lucky SOB.
Cheers!
