Not sure if I Wana cry or not.

After writing the title I do Wana cry.

So I took the long way home today after work and I see a camaro coming up pretty fast behind me.

He gets right on my ass and then moved into the oncoming traffic lane and pulls up next to me and then just freaking slams his pedal down and the sound of that v with my windows down popped both of my ears. I am now permanently deaf (lie) but holy crap that was loud.

So yeah some guy with a v8 just made me feel like a small man driving around in my poor little v6 lol. That was one of the coolest moments of my life I don't see many v8's around where I live and to have that guy show me what they have was amazing.

Although he went incredibly high over the speed limit after he passed me which wasn't smart considering a cop could have been around.. but what the hell right?

Tl;dr.... v8 camaros are freaking awesome!

It's even more awesome with a supercharger that sounds loud on top of those 8 cylinders

You sure you want to pick up the 15K remaining on my note? At that point, you could just trade in yours and get an SS!

Although that guy sounded like a douche-bag - can't beat the sound of a WOT V8

Yes the 8's sound amazing but damn op he was just being a complete ass. I might rag on V6's when there is an open debate about it online but on the road I have not nor will not poke fun at or play childish games with them on the road. Now another V8 I do this to but not a six bc its just being a prick.

I don't know if "cry" is the right word to use in this situation. Remember, in the movie Top Gun when Maverick "buzzed" the tower as he flew a F14a Tomcat fight jet over the the flight tower? Well, it sounds like the same immature move just happened to you but it was a Camaro SS with aftermarket exhaust. You appear to have ambivalent feelings over it, part of you thinks it was rude and immature and the other part of you liked it. The part of you that liked it is the kid at heart that loves a muscle car.
