I had all my windows down, and it definitely sounded V8. Hah! Maybe that was just me... But no, he was on my quarter and ever just slightly falling back, so I did hear him.

Actually, the fact I was in 3rd when I punched was impressive. The thing just builds Torque like mad and doesn't seem to care what gear it's in. But had I went to 2nd it would have given me more of a launch out. I have no kickdown, so it's done manually.

Now here is a thing, I've recently began using PetroCan 94 out of convenience over Shell Nitro. I know it contains E, but the car has actually felt noticeably stronger and smoother as of late. Maybe the fuel? I know there is some power left on the table that I could tune in, and the mufflers on the car are restrictive. Now I feel inspired to find a little more. My rev limiter is set at a conservative 55, and I think I could go up to 58 to start.

 The supercharged 6.2 was only available in the ZL1 model. You definitely can tell the ZL1 from the noticeable lopey rumble.

If you didn't engage the kick down I have to assume you were already doing over 70 mph. 

At that point wouldn't your rear end gears be the factor here. My big block LeMans pulls like a freight train at speeds like that, 2.73 rear end.

No, it couldn't have been a ZL1. I would have been thumped for sure.

Is there anyway to tell, say from the tailpipe exits?

From the factory, the LT Camaros have single stainless extensions on each side. The SS and ZL1 have dual stainless extensions on each side.

 I have no provision for the kickdown Ray, Id say I was at around 70 Kilometers per hour when we left. Around 5200 when I let off. 3.55 gear. 

 

The car had the quad tips.

 You can always manually downshift.  Down to 1st might have been a bit too much, but definitely could have gone down to 2nd.

all i can say is Mark left me at the light one day, I thought I had stalled. 

Where's  the Like button?  North American carmakers were in their element when they built full frame land yachts.

Anyone here ever get nailed for Stunt Driving? The speed limits in Toronto are so low that you'd swear you are on time/space-altering drugs. You see a traffic light ahead, but it will cycle twice before you reach it because the speed limit is so unnaturally low. With policies like that, when a section of road actually requires low speed, they've already cried "Wolf!"

Took my grandson to 3 dental appointments in Toronto a while ago and found 30 kph streets with speed bumps.

Changed my route the next time still more speed bumps.

  AND...Most of the main streets, Bloor, Danforth, Runnymede, Woodbine etc, are down to one lane in each direction!!! Parking on both sides of the road and then a bike lane 6-8' wide. Hardly enough room for a tractor trailer to pass another truck on the "main" streets..

 If the urbanists have their way, there will be no cars on downtown city streets.  Only bicycles and scooters (who for the most part have no regard for pedestrians).

This is happening all across the country.  Cycling activists skewing the facts to convince cities to force people out of their cars by making things as inconvenient as possible for people who choose to use a car to get around.  Their idea is that somehow everybody in cars will suddenly choose to ride a bike through the rain, sleet and snow to get around, but in actual fact bike lanes are only lightly used by the more extreme cyclists.

I won't go any further, as I don't want to get political, but there's a large gap between what a few cyclists want and what the rest of the population wants, but from what you describe, we know who is winning...
