Default Rarely seen opportunity, a race in the CTS-V

A C5 Corvette wanted to show me how well his car handled and accelerated by chopping in front of me as I entered the curving onramp to the freeway. No problem, I stayed with him in the turn and let him pull away by 3 cars at WOT till I hit it. I gave him the cars as I didn't want to be getting off the gas when I caught him. By the top of the onramp I had caught him and pulled around and into the fast lane, leaving him bus lengths behind. I slowed down and waited for him but he wouldn't come up to me. Oh well, sore loser I guess.

I suppose, but I just don't think that way. I'm thumbs up whether I win or lose.

Pulley, K&N panel filter in the stock air box, 160 thermostat, and a tune. That's all.
