Thumbs up Light em up

This thread is about a race I saw today, between a new black Corvette and a silver Charger SRT8.
The Vettre had been zipping through traffic to be the first one at the next light and the Charger was already ahead of the other cars at the stop light, on a three lane major street in North county San Diego.
The two cars were next to each other when the light turned green, and the Vette didn't realize the Charger was going to get on it, and got a 3/4 car length
on him before he kicked it hard.
By 1/8 mile the cars ahead from the last light could be seen at about another 1/8 mile ahead.
By the time they hit the brakes the Vette was 1/2 car length ahead and still could have pulled away.

I need NOX for my C320!!!!!!

Wrong section.

It's called NOS, not NOX. Even if you did have it, you still wouldn't stand a chance. You'd be more likely to blow your engine before you caught up.

Yeah, I doubt N20 would be enough for a C350 to run with those cars. You're better off just selling your car and going for an AMG or something. But if you need any help and you got the ***** to juice your ride, gimme a PM.
