So I pull next to an unknown newer truck (looked 04+), sorry I don't check identify the make model of cars/trucks as quickly as some of you do and a lot of trucks look the same to me. Anyways, we're at a stop light going up a hill. He guns it, so I think he's trying to race, I was right. I put the pedal half way down, toying with him a bit ans then I put it to the floor and pass him. Only I didn't pass him by much, which only adds to my increasing dissapointment of my 3.4L slow camaro. Anyways, after I beat him, he gets angry or something and changes lanes and pulls up behind me, riding my *** realy close going 50MPH in a 35 zone. I know he wants me to speed up so he can speed up with me and continually ride my ***, so I decide to make him more angry by gradually slowing down. So he starts getting too close to my rear and honking so I gun it when we get to a flat road and he turns into the next right. What an *******. Has anyone else encountered this behavior?

So after this, I won't be trying to race any cars or trucks after my car's pathetic performance. I felt like I should have killed him a lot easier, even in my 3.slow.

 

Depending on the truck, you might have done nicely against it, or he *should* have crushed you (SRT 10, Lightening, etc..).
BUT.. ditch the 6-cylinder and get a Z (or SS )

 

Shouldn't the Lightning be FIRST in that list????

Canton.....Help me out here brother!!!!

Later

 

some trucks are fast man....ford f-350 and the turbo D's! watch out...for a 3.slow cam doesnt sound bad. i have encountered people like that mostly ricers but i just pin it and im gone with them no where to be seen. advantage a z has over a 3.slow..good take btw

 

Hehe, my bad. If anything the Camaro should be at the top. But that wouldn't make sense now, would it

 

Lightnings are first on the chain...way, way to easy to get them running really strong...jmho...

 

I Smoked A Lighting From A Stop And 30 Roll He Gave Me A Run Till Like 80 Than I Just Plain Left Her Till 140

 

o i had a 94 z with bolt ons and it was a him not a her lol

 

I'm fairly certain it was a Ford or Chevy. And now that my neighbor got a new F-150, it looked a lot like it.

Yup, that's the plan, but I need more $$ sor it won't be for a little while. I just can't decide on LT1 or LS1, I haven't done much research yet on each yet tho.

 

LS1 all the way (if you can afford it.) TONS of power, INSANE mileage, and INCREDIBLE reliability

 

Well today I figured that if I got an LT1, modded it to 300 or more HP, It would have eventually cost me the same amount of money to have just found and bought a decent automatic tranny LS1. LS1, here I come. .

 

Sounds familiar. My 3.4 gets no respect from the local pickup/SUV drivers. I can usually ignore the urge to chase/race them. An exception would be last week when a soccer mom in an old Bronco full of kids gunned it to cut me off. I can't tolerate that, nor do I understand why people do those kinds of things with children in tow.
