Default Bolt-on WS6 vs Z28

This happend last sunday evening. I was driving up Bay Area Blvd and a black Z28 with an SS hood and spoiler pulls out onto the road. I was just casually driving and he pulls up next to me and down shifts and pulls a little fly by. The car was pretty loud but its exhaust sounded like ****, raspy and kinda loud, it sounded like slp loud mouths . He kept pacing me, revving, taking off, etc., he had his windows down and a friend in the car. So he is about to turn north on I-45 towards houston, so i rev at him as i pass . So this guy proceeds to jump out of the turning lane and tail gait me untill i got on I-45 heading south to galveston. So he obviously wants to race (my gf in the car didnt). So we line up and go from a 60 mph roll twice. 3 honks and we take off with the same result. I pulled like 3-4 to around 120. I was suprised, i didnt think my car would pull that badly on a Z28. Either way it was a good race and cool guys in the Z28. Heh i should have he my girlfriend film the race, i had the camera in the glove box .

Good race but dont start the whole Ta vs SS. They are the same. Personally I have raced over 10 TA's and beat every single one. I would never assume my car was more perceptive to mods over a WS6 though. Good run, get more mods though!

i would like to get some runs in some time. I have a red Mach 1 and live in Clear Lake. I love to race when I can. Your trap is higher and dyno higher so you should put a hurtin on my car, but I love the competition.

I should weigh less so maybe I can keep up for a bit.
