Default Raced my first C6 Vette

So this afternoon I decided to dust off my SS. I drove her around town running some errands. I decide to grab some food when I see a C6 with no tag on it. I think someone just bought it and I wanted to see what they would do. To my luck it was a younger guy driving and it had a dealer sticker in the window and the big yellow year sticker on the corner of the windshield. We get through traffic outside of town and I pull up next to him look over and rev at him. I pull ahead a few car lengths and a minute later he comes creeping up beside me at 55 mph. He's off the phone now and just floors it for a sec. making his car jump a lil (auto trans I'm guessing) sits there for a second then floors it again. He gets a slight jump on me and I jam into 3rd floor it and at 100mph we are coming up fast on traffic so we let off with me a car length ahead. We both slow down to the speed limit next to each other he has a huge smile on his face and so do I. I give him a thumbs up and he does the same and we go our seperate ways. It was a beautiful day with a race with a beautiful car all in all couldn't be any better.

Thanks for the comment my thought was "she was hungry and now that she's been fed it time to hibernate."

Nice job man what year was the vette? How do you like your 3.90's I'm thinking either those or 4.10's. Such a tough choice.

The vette was an 07 it was fun and he was cool about it. I love my 3.90s it was definitely the best SOTP mod I have done I thought personally 4.10s were too much gear and 3.73s weren't enough so I got in between and love them

Good kill, my c6 vette felt slow as hell to me until I did the headers & tune, I wondered if it really had 400hp
