friendly camaro owner

going down the road yesterday after work and i see a brand new camaro ss. i pull up to him and try to get him to look over. eventually he does and i give a little rev. he just smiles. i continue to rev, and speed up a little trying to get him to bite. not much happening. i roll down my window, and he does the same. we are yelling back and forth at each other. (we were doing 60MPH down the road). i say to him let's have a little fun. he says what is that thing. i said a new turbo cobalt. (i'm debadged and a 4 door). he said man i'd love to, but it's brand new and not even broken in yet. i'm like damn, i have all the luck. he ended up jumping on it just a little bit. (we were just playing around, no race).
we got stopped at a light and he was turning. he said well maybe we will meet up again after i get this thing broken in and have some real fun. i said yeah that would be cool. light turned green and he flashed a big smile and waved goodbye. he burned the tires just a little bit. he was an older guy (early 50's?). this dude was pretty cool in my book. i know it's not a real "war" story, but i keep trying!

no he wasn't a dick at all. he seemed really cool, even like he wanted to race but couldn't.
i'm thinking if we do meet up again i will have a nice war story. (and hopefully i will win).

if the OP traps 110 it should be a dead even race.

They arent the best for traction. But it sounds like this would have been a roll race, so he should have been fine.
