Stock 4th Gen Camaro SS M6
Stopped at Yates today (performance shop) to pick up some parts for the car (replacing lifters saturday). On my way home I see a black SS stalking me through traffic... we were both just crusing T-tops off...mullets blowing in the breeze. 
Hit a section of construction and he ended up right behind me until it cleared and split to multi-lane again. Immediately at the end of the zone was a redlight and he jumped over next to me and rolled out. I pretended he wasn't there and figured I would see what he did... when the light changed he took off hard and I followed suit... I launched much better and got off the line clean but then around 3000rpm the tires started to let loose and squeal (first gear pretty much just spins for me... kumho asx ftl)... I must say its kind of fun to pull on another car while spinning. I grab 2nd and stay in it just long enough to see him give up. lol... short sprint and not a major gap between us at the end but was pretty fun. Can't wait to get the new pushrods/lifters in and raise this rev limiter. (hypertech should be here today or tomorrow).
I really dont know how you higher hp cars play at all on the street... I thought I had the driver mod for a while but I couldn't imagine getting something with a blower to hook up on the street. ugh.

Nice job! Time for some dr's.
Even with Nitto dr's there's no way in hell i can spray in 1st...even from a slow roll. It just pretty much goes from nothing to redline in an instant.
I think with the right suspension and the right dr's it can make a HUGE difference though.

He hasn't been on much lately, haha I'm sure if he got a 5.0 we'd know with some track times already.

I had a hypertech programer on my old Gt. Really didn't give much variables to make custom though it might be completely diff now/and or with the LS.
