SS Camero From a Roll

I was coming home about an hour ago driving on a 4 lane low volume road when a white Camero SS came along side, slowed down and revved his engine at me. He had an exhaust but I don't know if he had any other mods. I don't like to street race - especially from a roll - but since there was no traffic I thought I would give it a go. We were going about 50 when I heard him nail it. I rolled into the throttle, the boost hit 24# and I shot out in front by a couple of car lengths by the time I was at 70 and then I lifted. He came up next to me grinning and we did it again with the same result - just a couple of seconds flat-footed to shoot out in front of him then lift. He came up once more and gave me the OK sign and I gave him a thumbs up - a nice guy that just wanted to play.

That was the first time I have had the car floored with the new 6262 turbo other than at the track and I was surprised by the way I pulled him from a roll.
 
It was an ls1 SS from what I could tell - at least it had the SS hood.
