Default Short Run vs Coyote and Blown C6Z

Cruising to breakfast with the crew and a grabber blue 5.0 gets in the mix, unknow mods, for sure exhaust and he had some 15" Racestars and DR/Slick on the rear.


He pulls along side around 55-60, paces me and I hear him drop a gear or two, so I oblige and drop to 3rd.

He 3 honks the start and I roll into the go pedal, around 3/4 throttle, say 70 mph, I feel the rear start to spin and push left. I'm out on him by maybe a car or so, some foot work with the right gets her back in line and back to WOT, pushing to the redline. Putting some more distance between the cars, I bang 4th and think he's at least 2-3 cars back, let out around 110 or so.


edit - forgot the C6, blower car, he took off after us and was far to my left, he got out on me by a car when I spun, but we stayed even till I let out.



side note - went to run a C7Z06, run from 25 or so, 2nd gear, instantly blew the tires off...

???.... 7 years I've driven my car as a daily on nice days, and I've only been baited once by a Cobalt SS lol. Not that I'm into street racing, but I'll never turn down challenge if it's safe. And by safe I mean not thru a residential neighborhood, school, etc. Common sense

Good story though, good runs.....

thanks for the mini lecture, the pull was done in a area where its 3 lanes, concrete barriers on either side, no entrance ramps around.

I run 3.73s w/ a 28" tire. Keep in mind I was not, WOT, spun and frankly IDK how far behind he was when I let out. It was a pretty short sprint.

Street racing? Sooooooo iresponsable.

















Good kill. My 95 will be done soon. We should meet up one of these days and go all street outlaws.

Nice runs. Driving a car like that has to put a grin on your face every time you turn the key.
