The past 2 weeks I decided to take the Marauder out of storage and start driving it again. 2 days ago, I got off work at 03:00 and was heading home. I was almost home when a 1996-98 vintage Camaro gets next to me at the red light. He had a nice sounding exhaust, custom hood, and the SS badging as well. We start off and he had about a car length on me, but after we got things up to around 70/80 he couldn't keep up and thing ended when I hit 110. The road was an open straight away with no traffic at all. I had him in the end by more than 20 car lengths. We stop at the next light and he motions to pull into the nearby gas station, so I do. He was a nice guy, lived about half a mile from me. I must admit I was feeling pretty darn good about beating an "SS" since I wouldn't expect this to be quite possible with a bone stock Marauder. Then he tells me that his Camaro is a 3.8 V6 with nothing more than some custom body work, an SS exhaust and SS badging. Either way it was a fun run and he really appreciated the Marauder.

Holy cow, was his name Daniel? His car is black, I think his plates are "F-body" or something similar... he also owns a great 1969 Camaro SS-clone. We were good buddies when he lived up here in Montreal, you couldn't find a nicer guy. He lives near some place called Cranberry? or something similar...

Well, according to the magazines he should have beat you easily anyway.

He must have had his emergency brake on.

A 3.8 liter Camaro?? That's like 200 hp... nice but no barn-burner...
