Default Z28!

So i was on my way to the TBS concert with my buddy. we come along a nice z28, maybe a 98 i dunno. looked like it had exhaust on it. so i get up next to him, (and i dont need any1 tellin me street racing is bad, i no) he floors it, i drop it down into 3rd and smoke him. i was kinda surprised, all i have is CAI and cat-backs, and he was probably a sucky driver or something. But w/e i beat a z28! haha

ok ill admit i was exaggerating when i said i smoked him, but it was almost a car length.
and afterwards he just flew away all pissed off. lol

You def did not beat a 98-02. In fact, I'd have a hard time believing you beat him even if it was an LT1. Especially since he got the jump. But if you did win, you beat the driver.

Also, wrong forum.

It may feel quicker because of the 5 speed, but its not. Go race your friend's mom and see who wins. That's gotta be a tough loss eh?

I do not know about the autos, but I remember reading several articles about the 98 LS1's cracking off 13.3's in the quarter mile stock. My buddy had one for a bit, and he got a 13.5 out of it stock. (His was a 6spd, BTW) Only reason I did not buy one instead of a mustang was the impossibility of finding one without T-tops.
