wasn't he way back in his rear view mirror when he started coming up? so he caught up to him all but a car length in just a short time. if they both went from the same roll at the same time. buh bye. still nice stuff. vette drivers are noice.

I've seen a 99 c5 coupe run no better than a 14.0@105 and I've seen a friend's bone stock c4 beat it running a 13.8 in the other lane. Anything is possible if the driver sucks... Proof of that is the evo that couldn't run better than a 10.2 in the 1/8th when I was at the track

There is always a non believer in the crowd. LOL First off it was a Convertable. Secondly... all the stock Vettes at my track run mid to low 13's and the worst drivers never even see mid 13's.

Either way it sounds like fun. Especially if you had your women with you.
What's up with the hood scoop looking like a pyramid? I've only had mine up to like 130. Never seen it pyramid b4.

RE: WALKED AWAY FROM A C5 VERT
This story is very interesting. I noticed one item that nobody else did. You shifted to 5th and was one car length ahead. Isn't 5th overdrive? Looks like you would have slowed down. I thought most cars top speed is the highest non overdrive gear. I know my camaro won't go 160 in 6th. Just wondering.
