That's right, won against an 80's Ferrari 308 *no surprise there*, but totally lost to a Camaro RS:( Here's the story...
I was in town last weekend. I remember passing a silver RS *93-97* on my left as I turned from another stoplight some ways back. Well, apparently we were caught at another stoplight again and he looks over at me, and we give each other the 'nice car' nod. I throw him a 'what's up' rev, and he responds with a couple low revs, then one high one, and that's when I heard 'wheeeeeeee' on the last one! His car sounded excellent for a 6-cyl, that little whine really scared the hell outta me. He rolled down his window, looked at me and nodded straight ahead, then looked back at me. I decided what teh hell, it's not too often that you run into a charged RS. We wait for the green and punch it, he catches a perfect launch and immediately has 1.5-2 cars on me!!! He just kept gaining more cars on me and finally stopped when he had about 5. Wow! We caught each other at the next stoplight, and I insisted on knowing what he had under the hood, he said the charger of course *didnt say what kind*, upgraded suspension, full exhaust, CAI, lid, headers and cam and he shot a 50 dose of juice right after he launched. Put LOTS of money into that car, but what a fast one! I didn't mind losing to that. The other story involves a cocky guy in an 80's 308 in Columbia. We were both about to pull onto the interstate from the offramp and as soon as we get off this guy punches it and nearly hits me from the back to get around me. "What an ass" I thought. I decided to play with him:) I acc. a bit to catch up, then got beside him and started throwing revs. He looked over with that almost scared, "how dare you!" look and threw lots of really hard revs at me! It actually looked like he was stomping the gas pedal! His car sounded good and I know these things are really light with about 240 horses, so I thought it'd be a good race. I decided to take the lead and punched it and he immediately followed suit. We got up to 100 and his front bumper was at my door the entire time, we both stopped accelerating and he looked over with an extremely pissed 'fu ck you' face and I just smiled:) Now I can see that I won against a Ferrari! It was definitely a good race, though, and with a better driver I think he could have pulled better on me.:):)
