Smoked what I thougt was a V6 Camaro RS.

[Mercury]

Well tonight on my way home from work, I pulled up next to a Red Camaro (What I thought was a RS V6 Camaro)at a stop light, Murchison Rd and Country Club. The kid looked over at me and gave me a nod. I thought he was just showing his respect to the 40 series flows and Shiny GT badge.

I didnt think he would do anything, and I didnt want to show my A$$ for nothing and risk getting a ticket in a cop infested area (Especially after we had a Fayetteville City cop shot and killed Thursday.).

The light changes, and this guy takes off. I look and see a set of pipes hanging out the rear. I just think its a RS V6 with Duals. After I let this guy get a car and a half jump on me, I decide to show him I can catch him before I hit Third.

I launch pretty good, shift Extremely quick and clean, and catch him shortly after I hit third gear. My front bumper was at his door handle by the end of second. I pull on him till I thought he could see my taillights. Then I put the Hazards on and beep twice.

He lets off, then I let off. He drops way back. I was going like 50 (Usually do 60 down Country Club) hoping he would pull up along side of me. He slowed down even more. As we approached another intersection the light changed red. I stopped. And it took him a good minute or two to get to the light. When he pulls up next to me, I yelled over to him.

Now let me remind you, I thought this guy was a V6 Camaro, I was just complimenting him on a good run, and ask him how he got the V6 so quick.

"Hey man, thats a strong running 6 cylinder. Watcha do to it." I asked inncoently.

"***** off." was the reply I got. I wanted to beat the hell out of him, when I noticed the Z28 on the side of the car. I say out loud. "SH!T. What is it and LT-1." kinda surprised, actually really surprised.

"Yeah, its an LT-1." Then i pay alittle more attention to his exhaust. It sounded like a V8, had the Z28 sings all over it, I guess it was a Z28.

I'm surprised I was able to catch him so quickly. I realized after that I just really insulted the guy by telling him he had a quick V6. Opps...Made yet another friend tonight.
