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…
