Default me vs vette

on my way home today cruising down I-10, this guy in a black c5 vert hauled *** up on me and went around staring at me the whole way around. i downshifted to 4th and caught up.

we got side by side. i was in 4th gear right at 4000RPM's which is where my boost really starts kicking in. Either way, i let him take off first and i blew right past him.

The best part was, after i shut it down around 100mph, he did a damn ricer flyby on me. i felt bad for all respectable vette owners out there immediately cause this guy was better suited for a civic. it was funny though.

Good kill, Mac. Doesn't look any C5s will be giving you much trouble with your output, not without some serious mods anyway.

yeah, i knew that the vette shouldnt have a chance but that is the kind of car that i would try to run with my old setup cause i was putting out more power than a stock c5 but the weight difference made up for it. i could beat a vert c5 pretty regularly but a coupe would usually run even with me.

i'm still trying to get used to the newfound power and try to decide what vehicle i should look out for that i can compare myself to.

In the last week, i have taken down a terminator, the c5 vette, a g37s, 6.0 GTO, and a new challenger SRT-8. Normally i would post all those victories up but i know that with no mods, they wont stand a chance.

god help me if i come in contact with one of these vehicles with the same power adder.

I think you should be able to hang with a GT500, Do you have nitrous on top of a blower?
