Vids from "Mexico"

So I was having fun going to and from my golf tournament. On the way back I made sure I had some video. So here it is.

My first run in with a Z06. Maybe next time I'll put the phone down and drive.



This was from 60-160mph. Just stretching her legs.



And this guy wanted to race. Believe it or not, but he floored it when he was next to the white car. So I floored it and .......



Enjoy fellas, I did!

Nice vids. Kept up pretty good with the Z06, those Vettes are no joke. I saw a ZR1 pulling out of Outback the other night, it sounded so mean.

Try the Z06 on a 65F day. Probably a different story. Oh, and I know that road in Mexico.

Nice! Thanks for sharing! Can you list what mods you have specifically? I think our cars are very closely modded so this will give me an idea of what mine might be able to do. See sig for my mods of course.

Obviously those TTM scoops are working as well!

Very respectable run against that vette homey. You were holding him off until you shifted into 4th, then he creeped by. I do believe if you kept on going, and he shifted it into 5th, you would have closed the gap pretty quick.

Was that a meth run btw? Imagine the carnage on your Q16 and race setup

Thanks fellas!

That was a pretty fun run against the Z06! He said he have exhaust done. I was running with no meth, since I used it all playing around on the way to my tournament. And my passenger weighs 250. I was still upset that I didn't win but there's always some one faster. No big deal!

Had you had meth, and minus that 250lb passenger, I think you would have walked away.

Yes, the meth makes a big difference in this heat and humidity. Don't worry I'm sure I'll run into another one some time. I know that if I was on my race tune I would have walked him easily. The top end on Q16 was crazy with meth spraying. The power stayed at 549hp through red line. On my 93oct tune I'm running 527whp. And without meth the power drops after 6200rpms.

Nice runs! 93*, no meth, you were probably pretty hot from playing before the Z06 showed up, and had a wooly mammoth in your passenger seat. No shame in that outcome, and you had him by a nose, until your shift.

I bet if you asked him, he was rather impressed with your grocery getter.

He was actually. And yes we had been driving for and hour before we came up on him. But I can't make excuses. He still got me at that moment. Another day.
