Wink Ran a C6 Vette in my '11 Mustang GT - Stang 1 - Vette 0

Monday night after leaving the Boca meet I decided to stop by the gas station to get a drink. As I left and was getting ready to pull out of the gas station I see a Yellow C6 Corvette. It wasn't a Z06, but it was still a Vette.
I guess he saw me b/c he took off as he passed me, I guess he was trying to get my attention... Well, it worked.
He waits for me at the next light.
We line up and the light turns green and we both take off. I instantly pull a 1/2 car on this vette and stay there until the end of second gear, then I start pulling even further away. By the end of third gear I'm now have a solid full car maybe a little more on this Vette.

Awesome run!!!

There's a steet/strip section for this kinda stuff, but either way nice run.


What are your mods?

Very nice. Those Vette's are rated at a little over 400hp (non-Z06), but I imagine they weight a bit less than the Stang. That tune is probably what put you over the top and secure your win.

I keep hoping I come across a Z06 in my Stang . . . but they are few and far between here.


Even though I really like the Vette's you get a thumbs up on the kill .

Thank you very much. Yeah, they are about 450 lbs. lighter, but the gearing in the transmission helped a lot. 4.15 first gear ratio got me the hard jump.

Tune definatly gave you the edge. Congrats on pissing off a vette guy. Was it some old dude driving? Lol. I laugh because two of my friends in their 50's drive vettes.

Until I read you had a tune, I was going to call "BS." Nice kill!

All I have to say is THAT IS KICK ***!!!!!

But whatever you do, please do be careful. Not trying to play net nanny, but it aches me to hear about guys street racing and trashing their cars, that is if they even survive the wreck.
