Not by how high he was sending his tach (i could tell by sound). Either/or - probably bad driver. I think it comical that I got the better of a porsche boxster who was trying to get in front of me on an onramp - in my wife's "little v6" Camaro.

Funny how I just posted "repect your elders" and this guy comes right back with a completely misinformed insult. Im not one to go back and forth, but I cant help this one...
Funny how you think that I'm being insulting because I'm posting a TRUE STORY about my wife's V6 powered CAMARO - it's probably insulting to you because it talks about a 6-cylinder car. Honestly I don't respect anyone who doesn't realize that not all of us can own V8's from the get-go and plenty of us love our "little v6s" just as much as you "big boys" love your V8's. It's you who should show some respect for a fellow Camaro enthusiast and recognize the above post for what it is - a funny story about how my wife's "little v6" beat a "big bad Porsche".

P.S. It's called a Porsche Boxster and if you want me to be informed, how about this (and I don't know what year was next to me on the onramp btw.):

1996 Porsche Boxster 986 (edmunds.com specs)
HP: 201 bhp @ 6000 rpm
TQ: 181 ft-lbs. @ 4500 rpm

0-60: 7.2 seconds (http://www.autospecs.info)

1996 Chevrolet Camaro 3.8 (edmunds.com specs)
HP: 200 hp @ 5200 rpm
TQ: 225 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm

0-60: 7.3(http://www.zeroto60times.com/Chevrol...mph-Times.html)
Quarter mile 15.5 (http://www.zeroto60times.com/Chevrol...mph-Times.html)

Please "inform" yourself before stating that someone else is "misinformed".

Edit: came here to share a funny story, expecting to be harassed by someone with a v8 and a head up his ass. left satisfied....Done with this little ditty.
