Default First race with my Z06.....

And I don't even know what it was I was racing. I was at a light and I want to say some sort of Volvo pulled up next to me. A guy was driving with his girl and he was pointing at my car and nudging his girlfriend. I was thinking of giving him a semi hard start for show, but as the light went green he friggin' floors it. He pulled about a car and a half when I went from semi hard launch to pedal to the floor. I reeled him in, shifted to second at about 55 (spinning the tires) and let off at 75 or so. He was about 5 cars back at that point. I slowed down so he could catch up and I gave him the peace sign. He has a big old grin on his face. I wanted to try and catch another light so I could ask him what it was he was driving. It was definitely a de-badged sleeper of some sort. But the engine sounded pretty decent.

Anyway, nothing too exciting. I got a feeling I am going to get a lot of those just so people can see what my car has. Fine by me.

I'll start driving now - should bin in Florida by tomorrow afternoon.

I can't launch this car for ****. Forget getting it off the line. It spins when you pedal in first and second.

Yep I did it to a Z06 on my way to work the other day. He just got in it for a second and left me sitting.

Not just you. When I test drove one I realized it takes a little bit of practice to get the Z06 to hook up on street tires.
