07 LS 2.2 automatic vs Malibu SS

I was driving down the freeway and saw a set of headlights on the on-ramp getting closer and closer to me. The guy looked like he was trying to show off and got on my butt a little too fast.

I always hate when people do this especially when all the other lanes are open.

He gets over fast as he would have hit me it if he kept going for just a half second more.

Then when he is 3 cars up he taps his brakes!!! What an anus, I wasn't racing.
I was at an even 70mph in the right lane, the SLOW lane...

Anyways, this upset me and I gunned it and evened out next to him.

He looks over then takes off, but I anticipated this and so I did too right when he did.

It was weird, we both were side by side, with the exact same excelleration and could not pull on each other. So we look at each other and both shook our heads.

We both let off and then he guns it out of nowhere! Lame...

I let him go as there was just no point to it after I seen we both were exactly the same in excelleration.

I thought the Malibu SS was supposed to be quick or something...

EDIT: I screwed up in my original response, I thought you said Impala SS, not Malibu, LOL. Yeah the Malibu SS has a 3.9 good for 240hp, but it weighs almost 3500lbs and is a piggy. Nice run man.

Acceleration bro...

And yea, the Malibu SS's are not all that fast. Though I really do like the way the new Malibu's look, both inside and outside.

I have a tendency to spell it that way...
I also do this with the word defense and type defence.
As you get older, the word spelling lessons fade...
