I had someone pull along side me wanting to show off i ignored him and he took off. Down the road i saw lights flashing, there he was pulled over by a State Trooper. I smiled at him as i drove by.That made my day.

Let's face it, our Camaro's just look fast even when they are parked so at some point in time you will find yourself next to a moron.
Seldom happens to me but a month ago driving home a four-door ricer with 4 young guys going at high speed on the inside lane, slowed down and for about 30 seconds paced me while I was in the middle lane and I was already doing about 5 mph above posted limit but not passing anyone. Then a rear seat passenger in the ricer hangs out his arm with middle finger raised high. Then the driver proceeded to race forward at a very high speed. What they did not see, while his passenger was giving my Camaro the finger, was a police car merging into traffic. What the police saw was a car accelerating at high speed with a passenger showing middle finger. About a mile down the road they had been pulled. Here in the province of Ontario even a hint of street racing has zero police tolerance (I agree with street racing zero tolerance). I smiled as I knew the police saw it all. Here in Ontario they will impound a car, on the spot, for racing. Plus $1000's in fines, plus automatic license suspension.
I am still driving my Camaro at close to legal posted speed. The driver of the last ricer that challenged me might still be trying to get the cash to get his car out of impound but at the speed he hit trying to show up my Camaro, I doubt he will have an active drivers license for a few months.
