Thumbs up Took my buddy for a drive. . .

Yesterday I give my friend his first ride in a 2010 Camaro. . . . Did some spirited driving on a airfield. . . Jump back on the interstate to come home and he said, "I wish there was something you could have fun with."

Next thing you know a GT-R comes flying up behind us. . . . He says "go for it."

I had to explain to him. . . a Stock Camaro racing the GT-R would be the same if a Honda Civic came up to the Camaro.

Have to say. . . the GT-R is one damn nice looking car.

He knew it, you knew it, your passenger didn't. Better to fold hand than lose all your chips.

Having restraint when outclassed is class.

Go get one of these and ask for a rematch..

can['t make fun of the GT-R to much... there's plenty of Camaro's breaking with the launch control. . I'll admit, not nearly the issue with a $90k GT-R though.
