2008 GT500. I don't normally race on the street, but heading home last week, had this C5 following me on a 2 lane road for several miles. I was driving normal. Following the speed limits (45 mph) as it was a little after 5 pm and everybody was on the road heading home. The road eventually open up to 4 lanes just before a traffic light, and wouldn't you know it, the light turns red and he pulls up on my left side and starts to rev. I'm thinking, Damn. I really don't want to do this for a couple reasons. It's rush hour, and I have no traction from a dig. But anyway, he nails it when the light changes and the devil in me took over. But just as I expected, I'm spinning like hell through 1st and second, trying to take it easy, and he's up front by about 2 cars. I hit third and start to grab traction, so my foot's on the floor and I'm starting to pull pretty quickly. Wouldn't you know it, he shuts down. I'm still in the throttle and quickly go by. We wind up next to each other at a few traffic lights up and I roll my window down to ask him why he shut down. But what comes out is me saying I couldn't grab traction. And he says, Yeah, yeah, but at least it's a good looking car and takes off again. I never was able to ask him why he shut down. I hope to see him on the road again after I get my wider rims and tires installed. They're in my sig, but still sitting in my shed waiting for my old tires to wear out. I don't know his mods except that he has an exhaust. At least I got a compliment!! :burnout:
