Coolest car ever had

Hi everyone ,I went to the airport today to drop off my brother ,I stopped the car at the departure gate and went out to say goodbye and I see a maserati grantourismo parking right behind me and the driver was calling my name,I took a good look and recognized him to be an old friend,he got out to say hello and was looking at my camaro the whole time we were talking, then he said dude your car looks cooler than my maserati with all those mods and I was like he'll yeah it does and he suddenly points behind me at two cops coming for me ,I was like damn here comes the parking ticket, but when they got to me they asked me to show them my camaro and had a bunch of questions about it ,after they were done one of the cops asked me how many hp I got to and If I could beat the maserati ,I laughed and told him that my car has an sc with a bunch of mods and i would swipe him for sure ,then I went into my car and left the scene with all three of them watching me leave and drooling over my car, I mean the guy has a freakin maserati and he was drooling over my car ,how cool is that , I always had cool tuned cars but the camaro is the best looking by far.

Helps that there's probably not many Camaros in Lebanon.

Enjoy the attention!

Had a local guy challenge me to a race in my old 5.0 right after I had the Intake and manifold installed and dyno tuned. He had a brand new Maserati. He made a comment about wanting to race me one day and I just kinda looked at him like he was dumb, then went back to talking to the friends I had been talking to when he interrupted. I guess this annoyed him cause he said something about racing again, this time a little louder. Well now my group of friends hear what he said and we all just kinda look at him like he's retarded. I spoke up and said "so what makes you think your car is faster than mine?". He says "it's a Maserati. It's got like 450ish horsepower". I just kinda laughed and said "yeah and it weighs about 4400 pounds too. Come back when you get something you can drag race with and we'll talk business". This frustrated him cause I think he was trying to look cool to me and my friends and make his purchase of the car seem a valid decision. He stormed out of the building and got in his car. As he pulled out of the parking lot, he punched it and the back end kicked out , turning him sideways in front of the traffic he had pulled out in front of. I could see him frantically trying to turn the car back straight as he stood on the brakes and tried not to get hit by traffic. The car must have stalled cause he restarted it and took off again, straightening the car up and smashing the gas as he took off, this time leaving a weak little line about a foot long on the pavement. I heard this more than saw it because by the time he got sideways, I was rolling on the floor laughing so hard I was crying. Damn that was funny to me. To this day, when I pass him, I wave at him and laugh to myself. Idiot lol.

Well that's my Maserati story.... And yes, I'm pretty sure my 5.0 would have beaten him at the dragstrip.

I thought for a while everyone was looking at me like I had a bugger hanging out of my nose.
I realized they were only looking at my car.
I was simply the driver.

The only really cool thing about a Maseratti is....the name.

+1 every time I drive it I like it more and more ,see In my country there's a lot of ferraris ,porsches and bimmers but you rarely see a camaro on the streets especially a tuned one, my car is one of 2 or 3 tuned camaros here so you can imagine hoe people look at it like it's something they have never seen before
