What a waste of money...why would someone invest that much money just to make a sh*t car go faster? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

Sorry man, but instead of being ticked, maybe you should have given him a try....you never know until you know, you know? It's either that or just move on and let it go. Your choice...just sayin'.

Right! Well, I guess "he'll" just be wondering... because I sure as hell won't be having a headache over it. POS Eclipse! That's all I have to say! Not worth my time and gas!

What you speak of is one in a million...literally

I had a tool next to me last week who had completely riced out a rather nice G35....he was tailgating me for miles with the hopes he could cut off the guy to my left to whip back out and around me just to show me "what he had"...accel hard, then only to slam the brakes as he almost missed his turn..cool guy

I guess you haven't owned your Camaro for a long time. I get situations like this all the time.....at least 2 or 3 times a week.

My buddy put together his own turbo kit using mostly eBay intercooler piping and so on into a 94 integra gsr and made 478whp.... ran a 12.18 on slicks...would of absolutely made you shit yourself as you expected to just drive away until he pulled you along, lol..

I'm new to this "owning a Camaro" club, but yeh, it's ridiculous some of the
cars that try and get in my bubble. I had a late '90's raised chevy pick-up, driven by a toatl 'bro' and was totally trying to run me off the road even though I wasn't doing anything to entice him.

I laugh mostly, but some of them are really persistent.

Topped off the week with a great fellow-camaro owner slowing up on the
freeway to let me come along side him, and we exchanged "Permagrins" and thumbs-up, and went about our day after rolling a few miles together.

I LOVE OWNING THIS CAR, even with all the douches out there that
want to play "who's engine is bigger aka who has the least common sense". lol.

Somehow, you sound like a cop with a chip on your shoulder. You know?

Last night, I was driving my wife to theater practice. As I rolled up to the intersection to the highway that runs through town, I see a buddy of mine in his '08 Hemi Ram. He pulls onto the highway in the oncoming lane and waves me up. Down goes the window "So, what's that car got?" As I was contemplating smoking him and making him look like a tool in front of his girlfriend, I looked in my rearview and there they were. Not just one cruiser, but two, pulling out of the coffee shop coming up on my ass. I yelled back "A lot more than your truck kid, besides there's a cop behind us." He looks in his rearview and by the look on his face he almost shat himself.

I just continued on my way.

On my way back, I seen him again stopped on the street. I let him know that he'd get smoked (his truck was lifted, with 35" mudders, extended cab) and that next time if he actually did want to race, that he shouldn't be tryin me on the highway in the middle of town. It was then that he asked the hp of my Camaro. I told him 400, and he just rolled off. Kids...

I have a buddy that has a built Neon that he blows off about how fast it is all the time. He is forever talking shit to me.. But I tell him at the end of the day it is and will always be a Neon and no matter how much money he spends on it or how fast he makes it he can't change that..
BTW .. he is a big mopar guy and for what he has in it he could have bought a Challenger

And yes his Neon would outrun my Camaro in the 1/4....it is a 10 sec car..at least thats what I hear
