v8 camaro ss vs. v6 firebird 4th gens

today my friend and i were on our way to pick up our other friend. im in the left lane going around the bend, and next thing i kno, a silver SS shoots by me up on my right. so im like...crappppp...now im flooring it...keeping up, but no chance in moving up next to him...my v6 has nothing against his v8...he starts to slow, now we're neck and neck, i have to turn in like 100 feet...and put on my turn signal and turn, and he flies by. i bet he didnt realize it was a couple of chicks keeping up with him at first, nor did he think i would fight back even though i knew i would have my a$$ handed to me on a silver platter lol. it was fun...i love random gas pedal stomps like that...

if only i was in my formula...that would've been fun.

He probably didn't even know you were trying to keep up!

Stock V6 4th gens are able to keep up with me when:

1. I short shift at 2000 rpm
2. I am too lazy to shift out of 6th
3. I don't realize someone is trying to race

i'd like to get a 4th gen trans am or formula...but the v6 is my daily driver/mild beater, and it gets the job done for me. if i drove a v8 around like i drive the v6...i'd be dead already...me and my lead foot. lol. plus...better on the mileage...
