How often does someone pull up next to you in traffic trying to taunt you into a race? Surprisingly, it doesn't happen to me very often. I get lots of thumbs up and nice comments but not many challenges. I think I've had more diesel trucks try to run than anything else. lol.

I've been hoping to come across a Camaro SS, but most of the Camaros I see are V6's.

I have yet to have anyone try to run me in the 5.0. happened in the mach from time to time. pretty funny to watch how fast they throw on the brakes and turn once I show them why I'm not going to race

LOL! Yeah, I could see how that could change a persons mind. I'd just give you the finger and take off claiming the win! :favorites37:

Only had 1 run in the car so far. Not to say I haven't hoped for more.

My car looks like a v6 with no spoiler and no springs. Other than the exhaust and the 5.0 badge noone seems to notice me.

I've had a couple. One back in August when Nic and I were on our way home from Cars and Coffee. Some tard in a V6 Gen 5 Camaro...I embarrassed him in front of his girlfriend. The only other time was a Tahoe on 22s with an exhaust...I didn't feel like playing because I about to exit to meet up with Ryan.

I think most people actually respect these cars and know what they are capable of...

I've only had a couple runs. One with a friend of mine and one with a ZL1. Only the ZL1 instigated the race. In my STi, everyone and their mom would rev at me wanting to race.

I've been thinking the same thing. I've been wanting to race a vette for a good while now, but NONE of them will ever race. A few days after I bought my car, I raced an 04 cobra on the highway and put a couple of cars on him. Last weekend, I raced an STI on the highway and put a couple of buses on him. Other than that, no ones down...

Only a few random cars in the 5.0 but it seems like they always want to run in traffic. I had one clean run on the hwy with a 2V GT. He kept trying to honk it off but his car was so loud I couldn't tell. So I just told him to go he got out a car or so. I caught and pulled him pretty quick. He was cool about it he looked suprised.

Every car Ive had or driven with a big cam gets everyone in the world wanting to race. From mini vans to welding trucks lol.

I've had one challenge on 121 against a vette and I raced him twice and beat him both times. He wanted to go again and I had to go home so I exited and he rolled down his window and shot me the finger. Typical vette douche.

But I can't wait till my car is done and see if people will challenge me then.:Good or Bad:

I pulled up to a red light in Mckinney on 380 yesteday and a really nice 2001ish camaro SS pulled up next to me and started reving up. I couldn't resist. I had about 3 cars on him before I started to break for the next red light and he flew past me running the light.

Other than that I have had my car almost a year and no one tries to challenge. When I had my 98 z28 I got someone trying to race everytime I pulled it out of the garage.

I've had two... One was a some fucking gay Scion... whooped its ass***.


Then a month ago around 12am on Sunday morning I came up on a Black 2013 GT500 and that dude wanted to throw down. I knew I was going to lose but did it anyways.

Honestly all I get though is thumbs up and people drooling. Then ill get some that want me to drop it and do a quick 3 second pull.

When I had my 03 Cobra I got it all the time, mostly from slow cars not worth racing, but there were a lot of good ones too. Only once since I've had the GT, about a week after I bought it in April I came across a new Camaro with exhaust and I assume a tune, he took off before I did but neither of us pulled on or away from each other. My car was completely stock with the auto and 3:15's at the time.

I have however gotten a few really good randoms. I was sitting in traffic this summer and a fucking hatch Honda rolls by and revvs, get onto I-30. I was bored so I said fuckit, gonna teach this guy a lesson. Chased him down and we ran. I was on street tires and couldn't hook but still eeked out a win, but his car was very respectable. Probably in the 600+ whp range. Surprised the shit out of me.

I've had a couple off of Coit/121 lately. I got an Aventador wanting to play. I thought about it for a minute, then thought better of it. He screamed off from the light in a hurry. About the only way I think I could have stayed in the ballpark with him is if I was on slicks. I also had a early 90s 5.0 a week or so ago. He was cammed with loud exhaust. We hit it and I dropped him by 3-4 cars. Then when he caught up to me, he said 'next time I'll put my foot to the floor' and turned off shortly afterward. I also had a Vette want to go when I had my bicycle/bike rack on the car. I wasn't gonna play, but when I decided to, he took off to catch up and play, he floored it. Douche. Woulda been funny to beat him with my bike on my car.

Mustangs needs to typically need to make 150-175rw more to be door to door to a Zr1. Big weight difference, gearing and the aerodynamics really come into play on the big end. You're best bet is to run from a dig, but your car spins like a President in a intern scandal so you're screwed either way. lol.

If you're feeling frisky, there's a black Z06 at HPP that might be up to the task. Tuned on E85 with a small shot. IIRC, he makes around 1000 at the wheels.

I had the luck of pulling up against a camaro SS and and 350Z at some back-woods stop light, put them both a good distance behind me up to about 70 before I cut it out. I tangled with a Nissan GTR on a late night empty freeway, when I floored it he couldn't pass me, though I wasn't willing to take it to the extreme. I'm sure the car could outrace mine if given the circumstances, but it wouldn't blow me away.

I'm just relaying my one time encounter, per the thread. The GTR and I was on an empty freeway starting about 60 going to 100. For whatever reason he just stayed behind me. I assumed if his car was so much faster he would've blown my doors off. For whatever reason he trailed me up to 100.

If you say so. I've never run a '10+ Camaro SS that could even come close. Even the ZL1s I've seen at the track run high 7s at 90, same as my stock GT.

I'm sure there are fast SS Camaros out there, but a "lightly modded" one will probably not do well against a 5.0.

If you say so. I've never run a '10+ Camaro SS that could even come close. Even the ZL1s I've seen at the track run high 7s at 90, same as my stock GT.

I'm sure there are fast SS Camaros out there, but a "lightly modded" one will probably not do well against a 5.0.

2 buses? I still dont believe it... 2 cars maybe.

My stock ls1 keeps up with stock 5.0s, and there is NO way I put 2 buses on any new Camaro... unless the Camaro let out the instant the Mustang started pulling away, which is more than likely what happened.

2 buses? Yep. I'm not the guy that sits here and exaggerates races.

If I read your quote right, you claimed to "keep up with stock 5.0's"...first off,"keeping up" with a STOCK 5.0 is a lot different than putting 2 buses on a lightly modded 10+ Camaro. A stock Camaro can't really keep up too well with a new 5.0 much less a modded 5.0.

I could blame it on a shitty driver or a slow car, either way he was deep in my rear view.:33:

I have driven heavily modified ones, they are pretty much sound and show, very hard for them to compete against camaros and mustangs, my 02 ss can outrun the srt8s easily and its stock

The older ones with 6.1 hemi's were respectable at the time but behind now. High 12 low 13 sec cars. The new 6.4 will run with and possibly take down a stock 5.0 wheither anyone will admit it or not. Have a friend in Louisanna that ran a 12.4@112-113 in a bone stock 6.4 charger.

But don't have to worry much about them being modded tuning sucks on those cars and is non existent on some. Which is the biggest reason that I have a 5.0 mustang instead. Been there done that tuning and data logging on this car was so easy its nice when everything works like it should.

Nothing like smoking the tires at 50 on the freeway and watching the guy you're racing freak the hell out! Which was good, since I was busy not hitting the guardrail.
