V8 vs V6
What would win in the rain?
Alex and I were in his Z28 and saw another V6 Camaro at a red light on Fairlawn Ave, so we pull up next to him/her (couldn't tell if it was a girl or a guy) line up and check for cops. The light goes green the throttle gets hit the Z is in the lead, but the sound of the V8 roaring would make you think that the car was moving, but the tires slipped like a fat guy covered butter. The car sways back and forth and the V6 catches up, with no tire slippage but the Z is still in front. We go up a little farther and take the exit ramp onto 208 N, they follow. We punch it the tires go spinning, slipping, sideways the body swinging from side to side like your drunken friend at a party, tires grabbing, slipping, grabbing slipping, with every slip twisting the car towards the divider and with every grab of dry pavement straining out. The tires hook the back end dips and the Z takes off. In the side mirror, “Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.” Well it couldn’t have been more wrong…

he knows how to drive stick, so do i...theres a difference between knowing how, and being good at it 
what i meant by "if you knew how to drive" was throttle/clutch control to stop spinning the tires

Booyah.
We were just messing around having some good ol' fashion fun. We were laughing about it the entire way home, and my GF wasn't happy then I ditched her on 208 to chase after another camaro.

I’m telling you guys/gals he shifts a lot better than he did before. A few days ago we went to Hooters on 17 with a few friends there were three cars Alex and I in the Z, a few guys in a Cavalier and a few guys in another car. Getting onto Rt. 4 it was the Cavalier, the Z, and the other car (I forgot what he had, it was nothing special.). And just to show off Alex punched it past the Cavi. Already in 2nd then hits 3rd and 4th without hesitation. It was good and quick…
I’m not saying this to make him seem like a shifting god, because he isn’t (lol) but I’m telling you he’s doing a lot better than before…
