'11 SS vs '13 GT
First night video test with my new GoPro3 Black. Pleasantly suprised at how much more you can see at night than the GoPro1 I have..
Anyways, was creeping along the other night and notice some newer camaro taillights up ahead so I crept along alittle faster to catch up. I see the SS badge on the back and pull even with him. I gave him a blip of the throttle to see if he was game. He did the same but I thought he was taking off so I did.. then stopped, until I heard him get back on it.
Pulled about 2-3 Car lengths from 50-110. Exchanged thumbs up after race.
Only had my Borla S-type mufflers on at the time.
She now has a C&L CAI, JBA OR H-Pipe, 91Hybrid Bama tune, and Barton Short throw shifter+2 post bracket.

As mentioned by DeathRattle, there's a significant performance difference between the manual SS and the auto, especially if he has a passenger and you don't. Heck, I beat an auto SS vert last summer in a rolling 30-90 race. But he had a few extra bodies in his ride.
