Wanna hear a funny one?

In the Z06..




Okay, so here I was in traffic coming back from a friend's house. A few cars ahead I see some taillights, kinda look like a Neon... duh... SRT4. So I scoot on in behind him after a bit and we are coming to a long straight of road with literally nothing around. I came up to him, downshifted to 2nd..

oohhh, to hear that LS7 goin'...

So the kid kicked down and I let him get the jump that time just for sh*ts, then I lay into it and get kinda sideways for a bit...

then just absolutely put buslengths on him. I kinda felt bad. He then caught back up to me and wanted another, ha...



So I just went to third, I kinda wanted to see how sweet the car really is.
I go down and let him get a bigger jump, just wanted to see it.
Then I just reel him in quick and put cars on him. It was .

I mean, I know how fast the car is, but it just made this SRT4 look like a freakin' normal car.



Alright, just wanted to share that and write it down.

Z06

but try not to waste your gas on SRT4's.... gas prices at least here in Cali are rediculous.

However it looks like prices will be coming down soon again.

I think its great racing cars that are more powerful, I like to see cars in action and exchange a friendly wave at the end. The SRt driver must have got a buzz from seeing the Z06 in action.

ditto to what he said, I'd bet $1000 that the kid was just "giddish" that he got to race your Z06 (even though he lost).. I would love to race a new Z06..... even though I'd lose ....

Racing a faster car is fun. Unless you really think your going to win, it can be great fun and a wave afterward is always appreciated. I have a C230 and have played with far faster cars. A wave at the end from both parties is a nice form of mutual respect. Good kill and Im sure the kid loved playing with you even without a chance to win.
