Great run.
depends on the reaction times. if they both had similar reactions, the ta should have been ahead by a car length. sounds like he was not ahead so the vette tree'd him.

I like taking down high end cars, especially GTR's. But at the end of the day he's driving a ZR1 and your driving an old T/A. It still feels good though.

I can strap a rocket to a go-kart and beat a dragster, what do i have a the end of the day?

We should be marveling at the mid 11 second car that doesn't cost much to build/own, gets 20+mpg on the hwy and has AC. not that it "almost beat" a supercar. Zr1 owner being pissed is just the icing lol
Good run nonetheless.

I trust the OP had a better reaction time to get a close race at the top end... otherwise this is just a bunch of useless numbers.
