Default I raced a Z06!

Ok, so I pull up to a light on a street with a 45 mile/hour speed limit. I look to my right and there it is... a brand new Z06. The guy gives it some gas to let me know that he wants to race. I simply ignore him, hoping to surprise him for an advantage. (I needed all I could get, I'm still bone stock). The light turns green and the Z06 makes a sound that I had never heard before. He just jumps out in front. I pull off the light like I normally would, I'm just gently accelerating. The Z06 slows down... and I punch it! I'm now a few car lenghts ahead. And then I heard that sound again! Holy s***! He flew by me like I was going backwards. The engine in that Z06 makes the greatest sound that I have ever heard from a car engine. It just screams "power." At any rate, we both slow down after hitting 60 mph and I pull up beside him and give me the thumbs up. Just thought that I'd share my tale of destruction at the hands of a Z06.

Yep, right now the Z06 is the finest (for the money) production sports car available. Very well crafted and built! I'd have one if I had 75,000!

He's only got 200 more H.P. then you, less weight and it cost twice as much, if I were him I wouldn't have wasted my gas on you !!!!!!!! I'll only race cars that are in my league, I won't waste my time racing Grand Am GT'S, Chevy Z-24's ect. to me it's the same difference, not very many people with a GT will brag how they beat a car that has 200 less H.P. Just my opinion.
Hope he don't come up against a S/C GT and think he will have the same results.

It's kinda funny that a Z06 owner felt the need to challenge a car in a lower league. Was he that desperate for attention? It just goes to show that $75K doesn't always buy happiness.

The sound you heard was the muffler by pass. The C6 Z06 has a muffler that will allow a by pass after a certain pressure, it's pretty trick.
