Default A Rarely Heard Street Encounter

I was with my buddy 2 weekends ago on our way back to my place to meet with with my girlfriend and we got off the highway and came up on a camaro chevelle. The light was red and I was behind him. He hits it at the light and gasoline comes flying out of his car.

Now I'm thinking I gotta get past the guy before his car blows up so I come back up on him in the left lane and end up hitting another red light. He Revs at me and another Blue car pulls up on his right - now I didn't realize it at the time but it was an M. The M revved, the chevelle revved, but I didn't rev at all and when the light turned green the chevelle and M hit it...till they both realized I wasn't running...and they stopped. Why the hell did they stop just cause I wasn't running them in my S? I thought that was just hillarious

Camaro Chevelle?? Chevy Chevelle or Chevy Camaro but not one in the same unless I'm missing something?

454 chevelle's can be BEASTS in the 1/4 mile!! I LOVE those cars!!!

However, you should have run him...you probably would have won.

Who pulled out of the M and the Chevelle?

It was a Camaro - no doubt about it. Sorry for the confusion. The M pulled because the Camaro didn't launch well (spun the tires), but once he got grip he took off - woulda been interesting.

I choose not to run because there was a really sharp curve about 1/4 mile ahead and I didn't want to mess around with it.

So what are you driving now infinite?

The LS5 454's were high 14 second / low 15 second 1/4 mile cars.

/scatches head

Nope, there's no performance mod I can think of that should produce unburned fuel coming out the back of the car. Couldn't be a good thing
