It’s been a while since I’ve posted in this section; mainly because my car has been down for a while. I just got it back up and running not too long ago and went out to a local meet. My license plate reads “Z06 LOL” even though right now I’m only putting down 480rwhp 470rwtq (mods in sig). I got the plates just to stir the pot a little. I guess it worked because one C6Z didn’t like it too much and wanted to run. I had ran one before when I was putting down 441/431 and it was close but I was eager to see how my new motor would do against one.
I wanted to go from a dig and he wanted a 55mph roll. So we went out and did a roll-race (definitely not my favorite) and I honked three times. In second we were door to door, third I started pulling (not much at all, maybe a fender length) and fourth I stayed barely ahead of him. I shut it down at 120 and he kept going. It was a VERY close race. I tried to get another run but he wouldn’t line up again for another run.
We came to a stop light at the exit from the highway and I asked why he didn’t want to run again. He said “let’s go right here.” I was more than happy to run from a dig. We both spun a little and I ended up putting about a car length on him.
We got back to the meet and the guy was less than cool (to say the least). With plenty of witnesses watching the race and the outcome of the races, he claimed he beat me. I admitted to him that it was very close and that’s why I tried to run him again from a roll. He said, “No, we’re only racing once and you got beat!” I couldn’t stop laughing. I thought this guy was cool but then he pulls this bullshit? I told him if he’s so confident he won, lets go out again and I’ll have someone record it. He declined and said it was time for him to go home. I have never seen this level of immaturity from such an older adult. The conversation kept up for a few minutes with no real resolution. He was saying he won by a mile and I was wondering how he figured that he won when I was ahead? Maybe he wanted to go to 180mph? I told him I was only racing to the top of 4th but I guess he didn’t like that too much. I will not race in 5th and 6th gear.
This being a stock C6Z06 I think it was a pretty good race. I wasn’t expecting to win, I was just trying to see how close I’d be to one of them.
