Ahhhh finally a vette encounter and kill. It wasn't by much, but it was enough to make me happy.

First of all, just remeber I DO respect the V8, and did own a f-body. Now to the story....

Well I was on my way home yesterday and saw a set of round tail lights in the slow lane. I decided to check it out, so I pulled up along the side of him and scoped this thing out. It ended up being a nice black C6 containing a male driver of about later 20s and I assume his gf same age. Well I let him pass me to see the car completly (you know to see if it was legit and wasn't a cop or anything). Well after that I passed him again to give him a thumbs up. He returns it with a friendly wave. I go on about my commute leaving him behind doing the speed limit.
Later down the road I see his lights FLYING up on me. So I down shift and gass it as he comes along the side of me. After this he realizes I'm game for a quick run. He then points ahead and wants me to run him. I down shift and give him a tap of the gas noting I was ready. We both gun it together and I jump about half a car. I was REALLY nervous since I knew I had to shift from 4th to 5th (a tough shift in the past). Well I stuffed the clutch to see him regain composure and break even. At this point I was amazed, I started to pull SLIGHTLY while in 5th. We didn't get to run more since traffic was approaching.
We then both pulled in to a gas station, but he didn't even want to talk to me. He did at least say good run, but then walked off. I at least wanted to chat it up, but I guess he didn't.

Nice!! Beating a vette is always worth talking about esp. when they get pissed about it.

Yeah, a Vette kill is always a good one to hear about. I raced a slightly modded Z06 last night at the track and I was nervous and missed second gear. I let the clutch out thinking it was in gear already... I was wrong. LOL He was a car and a half in front of me and I started pulling back pretty hard. By the time we crossed the traps, I was about a half to three quarter car in front of him. It was like 90 degrees and the DA was like 4000 so we only ran a 12.9. LOL

no tryin to hate on you, but story dont seem legit! u sure it wasnt C5? or do u have more mods then what is in your sig?
good kil either way

C5's arent the fastest. They are actually game for a full bolt on GT woth sticky tires.

(header...yes one, up-pipe, down-pipe, cat-back, Cobb stage2, Autometer C2 egt/boost/oil pressure), B-force Project Mu pads, Goodridge SS lines, Tanabe GF springs, KYB adj. shocks.

with that stuff he probably has at least 350 awhp.

My buddies EVO makes 352 awhp with full bolt-ons, cam gears/ methanol injection....I doubt homedude makes 350awhp....

I also ran all over the EVO with only 367rwhp on DR's....a stock C6 should make 350rwhp+ and not have much trouble with one from a roll.

matthockey32

you claim to run all over everything. let's let him post his power. i know a guy with with similar stuff on his wrx and he makes almost 300 awhp. and the STi has 70 more hp stock......so do the math

blazer_4.3

well there is a few STI's around here with more mods then that. and i pull almost all of them from a roll. And the ones that do beat me, i am usually within a carlength or 2. a C6 would murder me.
