encounter with a Z-28

I was going to Pick-n-Save with the girlfriend at 10pm last night (hotpockets good rain bad) and end up stopped at a stop light. As we where waiting i noticed a nice 79?(square headlights) Z-28 pull out from behind us and it gets in the left lane behind a 4 door econ box, I am in the right lane. THe light turns green and the z28 just spins in the water, i wait up for him (doing about 20)to check the car out, he gets up to me, i hammer it and go to 35(speed limit) then he hammers it thinking i want to all out race and he goes fly past me into the oncoming traffics lane(no one out at that time) and flys past the econobox. In conclusion that guy is psycho, full throttle out when it is raining, thought for sure it was going to see berrys and cherrys:nono:

Our cars suck in the rain, I'm scared if I ever have to slam on the brakes in dry weather let alone the rain.

Never had a problem with mine I've only fishtailed once and controlled it easily. But I am very very prudent when it's wet outside. Snow and ice, now that makes me wish I was in a weak FWD car
