Raced some dude in a cls55 today on the turnpike up to about 140 or so...Just wondering if he's on the board...Seemed like we were about the same speed, but we never really got to set it up right. Anyways, just wondering.

pretty smooth on the turnpike in some areas...I didn't mean to go so fast, but these cars get there so effortlessly, it's hard not to sometimes.

O RLY!!! NICE!!! Cool, I will give you a call maybe tommorow after I rip the mufflers out and you can drive my car, too. I mean it only tops out at 133 but you'd be surprised how fast it gets there.

Hmmm, interesting. I'm surprised the MODs didn't kill this thread... You post anything related to street racing on the Corvette forums and the MODs jump all over it and practically claim your first born son for crying out loud... Must be the rules aren't as strict here, eh...?

Don't give them any ideas...
Note to MOD's: I wasn't street racing, it was a sanctioned event, we rented the turnpike.

Why do you think they call it Sun Pass

Lots of new haul-asssssphault north of St Lucie




BTW all the cams on the turnpike are up and running (every 10th mi), and a private company is using them to gather data.
