How to beat a Camaro Z28
</b></font><hr WIDTH="100%"></font>
Someone on the list was challenged to a race with a later model Camaro
Z28, after much discussion about how many car lengths the SHO would lose
by (the Z28 has much more power than the SHO is rear wheel drive to boot)
here's the advice Kyle Lehman had to share :

<P>The SHO excels in areas other than straight line acceleration. After
your race, I think you should perform another test consisting of the following
:

<P>1) Get another six people together at work for a 1 day golf trip. (If
you've never golfed, don't worry, your skill level will match about 85%
of people found on most public courses).

<P>2) Find a road atlas. Pick a golf course 120 miles away that requires
driving on an interstate with tar strips every 20 feet the whole way.

<P>3) Locate 2 coolers. Stock coolers with beer or soft drinks. If you
choose beer, pick Pabst Blue Ribbon or Shlitz. Save the money you would
of spent on 'fancy' beers such as Bud Light or Miller for a catback exhaust
fund.

<P>4) Draw straws to decide who rides with who. Watch diplomacy in action
for the riders in the Z28. Diplomacy in this situation means tallest person
gets the front seat.

<P>5) Load trunks with clubs and cooler. Now watch back seat victims of
the Z28 laugh because the front seat rider needs to hold cooler on lap
for 2 hours due to lack of trunk space.

<P>6) Say 'I know the way, follow me.' Pick speed on interstate which seems
to cause the most reverberation and noise with the tar strips. Set your
cruise to this speed.

<P>7) When you arrive, declare loudly out loud how refreshed you and your
passengers are to the Z28 riders. Then boldly exclaim in a booming voice
that everyone will walk instead of using a golf cart because of Scottish
tradition. Watch in bewilderment when the backseat passengers of the Z28
emerge from the car and try to walk. Somehow the scene reminds you of a
show on the Discovery channel about the birth of gazelles and their first
try at walking.

<P>8) While you golf, bring up topic of car insurance and how cheap it
is.&nbsp; Wait till your friend is ready to swing then tell everybody your
premium.&nbsp; Watch as he hooks it over into some water. When the topic
of resell value comes up, run to the nearest ball washer to avoid conversation.

<P>9) If you score badly for the day, say your back has been bad from the
old lady making you fix the water heater and garage door opener. Somehow
everyone will understand and your performance will be excused.

<P>10) Before driving back, switch passengers. After arriving home, perform
an informal poll on which car people prefer. There is a good chance you'll
win this one.
