So I actually have a guy with a 10 sec 1/4 camaro z28 challange me to run for best time at the autobahn in IL. His comment was he is going to make me look bad getting beat by a car that was meant for the straights.
How about I show up with my car and pretend Im you LOL

CRAP I'M gettin old!!!!
CRAP I'M gettin old!!!!You want to feel old, turn on VH1 some night when they have shows about the 80's. Sad to say that I sat through a whole show one night. I think that it was "Hair bands of the 80's" night. Grown men in make-up and skin tight pants....and we all wanted to be like them. Wow. How things change.
I had 3 f-bodies of the Pontiac family. All fast cars in their own way but very heavy and sluggish feeling compared to this 996 that I have now.
If the dude knows how to drive and drive well and if he put 10-20 grand into the car to make it work well, I would say that you would have your hands full with beating him. Having a ton of power means nothing if you can't control it. The f-body is nose heavy and tends to plow.

All this talk of mullets almost made me forget to mention that we are running six cylinders with approximately 220 cubic inches.
I like the idea of the other guy pulling off two plug wires

But yes, F-bods, like Hotrod said, if tuned properly can be a handful even for you porsche boys. I'll be interested to see how this all pans out
