I cannot believe this story. The 176mph is hard enough to swallow but the 2nd new Camaro in a few days we know is darn near impossible. Story sounds like BS to me.

Holy Schniekies!

Glad you made it out Okay - hang tough man, and get yourself another 2010 SS.

I have 4 teenagers, and they scare the sh*! out of me when they drive, but what this kid did was criminally stupid.

My story continues with new Camaro owner running across a car of young teenagers and they also decide to race. New 2010 Camaro SS is way more car and he blows by and pulls in front with ease, but runs out of road or decides to slow it down. Big Brembo brakes slow camaro down in a really big hurry, to 25 MPH, but Ford in back does not have big Brembo brakes coupled with inexperienced driver and does not even stand a chance. The brake for the Ford is the tail end of a shiny new Camaro.

There are just too many things not adding up. I also find it hard, if not impossible to believe that this guy will get a second Camaro to trash and wreck before most even get their first. I also want to check my meter on that one.

Maybe my story is a fairy tale, but my guess is that if the truth be known, this is probably pretty close to what went down. I am almost positive Camaro driver did not realize the stopping power of the brakes in his machine and closed a gap too fast for any other car to respond to.

Please keep that in mind when driving and someone is on your tail. I assure you, you can stop much faster than they can.
Guess you've been reading my post, don't know if thats what actually happened but there is more than meets the eye.

I have to agree with you. This doesn't add up. I just had to go out on that limb. May not be exactly accurate, but i bet it is pretty darn close. I firmly believe there are two sides to every story and the kids driving that Ford, wrong, and irresponsible as it may have been, are getting bashed because this is a Camaro, but I wonder what other factors contributed to this little calamity.

I would really be interested in the "Rest of the Story".

i just read 8 pages of comments and this is what i have come up with....


I agree with Marvb549, i dont think we are gettng the whole story, so i dont feel sorry for this guy at all, it just doesnt make sense or add up at all...


Also i'm 19,i drive a 06 vette andi have a 2ss on order and hope to get it any day now...most teenagers cannot drive worth a poo and think they are unstoppable, idk how many times ive seen another guy at a redlight and wanted to race me in the vette, kids that just get new cars and dont have to pay for them selves dont care, and even some that do pay for them their selves dont care, but just for you doubters out there that dont believe none of us care...i do care, very dearly about my vette and i will care just as much about my camaro and ive worked my ass off for what i have since i was 9 years old, but point is, not all teenagers are stupid and cant drive and dont care about nothing or anybody...

no body has said that they side with teen, there has just been ppl saying that they dont believe the story because of all the loop holes.
