So frustrating. Everyone thinks they have some vehicle that can outrun my camaro.

I work in a rural town and everyone says someting about how they've got this or that that can out run my camaro. Its so frustrating.

There like, "What do you have in there, a 350?"

I reply, "Its a 6.2 liter, basically a 378 with 426 Horsepower."

And there reply is, "I'll race you for pinks."

And my reply, "Sure".

And they say, If I wanted something fast I should have bought a truck like theirs which is a 1998 Chevy 1500 with oversize mud tires.

And I hear they've got a 383 stroker with 1100 Horsepower.

I get so frustrated hearing all this. If its true, where do they get the money. They make 10 dollars an hour. Ahhh.

If I had a buck for every time some putz told me he could blow my doors off with whatever he had whether it was with this car, or my Vette, or my Grand National or whatever, I coulda bought this car in cash.

My Answer every time: Ok, lets run, right now. And I walk out to my car, they never ever follow.
