Took the wife out to the movies yesterday so she could see a movie she has been dying to see (The Conjuring, and yes, it sucked) As we pulled out of the parking lot onto the main street just out of nowhere and i mean nowhere a white ZL1 just blows past us. As he goes by us of course he felt the need to give me a high RPM rev LoL.
Ive been wanting to race one of these for so long and here was my chance to try one. I guess i took to long to speed up to catch the ZL1 because my wife asked if i needed to pull over so she could race him as if i was scared HA HA HA.
I caught up to him at the next light but i was behind him and as we waited for the green light so he could speed up and change lanes so we would be side by side, he was revving his car about 37 times at this red light.
So the light turns green, he speeds up and changes lanes i speed up and get beside him. He had no passenger (for those of you that like to argue about power to weight ratio). I dropped to second gear and he honked it off and off we went like two bats out of hell.
We were side by side at the start of second going into 3rd i put half a car on him (his front end was at my rear fender) at the top of 3rd i went into 4th gear as my heart was pounding and my damn wife was screaming LoL. At the top of forth i had him easy by a car maybe a shade over then shut down at the top of 4th gear about 125/130 MPH i would say.
We only ran once but it was fun. At the next light the guy pulled up and said nice car and told me he had exhuast with a tune he didnt say if he had a pulley change or not so i dont know. We talked for a few seconds about my car and what i had done. He was a pretty cool guy too, he invited me to a car cruise that welcomes all makes and models.
