From a stop light south of the border.

Was behind him at the previous light. Could hear cams and full exhaust. I had my wife with me and she gave me the ok.

Lined up at the next light. Even for the first 20' then I pull 4 cars up to 90 where we had to shut down for the next light. He must have been having major traction issues.

We later got up on the highway and he broke the tires loose at 80 and took off. Probably the fastest car I've ever seen from 100+.

Wife gave him the thumbs up later down the road. Didn't get to talk to him. He returned the favor. Seemed like a cool guy.

Always fun to get a good dig race win and with the wife all for it! C6 Zo6 are damn tough from a good roll though as they MPH a lot higher than most our cars int he 1/4 mile.
