Forgot about this (anyone know this guy?)

I posted this on another forum back when it happened (early 4th of July morning). The car was a latest generation Camaro SS. It was a red hard top. This is a copy/paste of the story.

I definitly lost. Nothing was to my advantage, but I lost. I had 2 people in my car and he got the jump both times, but by the time my turbo spooled he was 2-3 cars away and by 140 he was about 3-4 cars up. I think if I would've been by myself and either brake boosted or got the jump myself it could've been even...but I even doubt that a bit.

It looked and sounded like a stock Camaro SS too. My GF and her friend had the music up loud, so I couldn't hear too much...but I couldn't hear anything from the guys car. I gave him the thumbs up when I got off Square Lake and he waved back.

Either way for him to run away from me on the expressway like that he's an easy 11 second car (probably mid-high 11's I'd imagine)

Yeah it seems like no one I know has. I coudn't believe it...espicially the whole "from a roll" thing. My girlfriend laughed at me and said "that's never happened before" (as if I didn't know that...) I wasn't happy. Needs more power now.

I love the feeling when you push the gas to the floor and expect to see the other vehicle slowly fade away... yet, somthings wrong.. hes not moving backwards.. hes starting to pull away.. and all that goes through your mind is "hmm.. this sucks".. So then you go and spend money to make your car faster to beat a car you may never see again.

Exactly. Only to get edged out by the next best thing after the next round of upgrades.

You mentioned Square Lk. Were you on I75? There is a cop TA/FB/Camaro(?) that I saw the other day on southbound side north of Square Lk with someone pulled over. He was painted like a normal car, so everybody watch out. I think he was red. (Obviously not the person you're talking about, just thought I'd warn about the cop).

Yeah it was I75. If you're talking about a little further south of that, Troy has at least 2 maybe 3 Camaro cop cars. They have one in black that isn't usually ever out, they have one in that natural/grayish color that is out A LOT and they used to have a blue one that I haven't seen in forever. Bloomfield Hills (right at the Sq. Lk. exit) has a Trans Am, but I think it's more of a publicity thing...I don't think they're able to patrol with it because last I knew there weren't any lights on it.

And just to the north of the Sq. Lk exit is Auburn Hills which has a handful of Dodge Charger cop cars now. They don't usually patrol the expressway much...but sometimes.

luckly I speed on 696 and 96 or I'd be screwed by now

Yeah, it coulda been one of those. I don't remember the color as much as the shock of seeing an F body with lights and someone pulled over. I didn't know Troy had any either. Good info. Back when my friend had a Taurus SHO, maybe '91 or '92 we were cruising east on 696 doing 90+ and we pass this brown Camaro who is in the right lane. Just as we pass him my friend sees 2 cars coming up on him fast, so he moves over from the left lane. A Vette and a Monte Carlo fly by him doing at least 100+. The Camaro gets into the left lane and flies by us, and lo and behold it had a badge on the right door. The cop looked at us like we were the luckiest people in the world because he was undoubtedly going to nail us until the Vette flew by. About a mile up, sure enough, the Vette was pulled over.
