C5 Vette
So today after coming back from work I see a lone C5 vette convertiblein front of me approaching a light. The light turns red and I think, lets see if we can play a little. I had my window down, and stopped with my nose just in front of him to which he replied "Hey, it ain't green yet,"
I look over, and see that he has his Son in the car, the kid must have beenyounger than10. Then I hear him say "So do you want to get some tickets today son?" afterwards proceeding to teach his son about traffic lights, red means stop "And green means go," I holler at him, driving off at a steady pace after waiting for him to catch on, the light was green for a couple of seconds, and I bet the people behind us where getting pissed off. Afterwards it was lucky for us we didn't go at green, because a BMW sailed trough a big fat RED... We would have hit it dead center...
Anyway, I look in my rear view, see the vette fishtailing in first. (to much gas there pops).I waited for him to catch up a bit. When he got closer I hammered it in second, pretty much stopping his advance dead cold. When I went from 2nd to 3rd he rolled past me at steady speed. He lifted his thumb, and later when I drove by them, his kid did the same. Good sports, and although it does not qualify as a real drag, it was still fun. And I bet I made that kids day, his dad owning a 05 GT Mustang.
A couple of lights down I run into a C5 Z06, but I didn't try anything there. Just once is enough, and the regular C5 is faster to begin with. The Z06wouldn't even be a contest.
