Default c5 goes down to my 98z

well I was on my way to work in downtown last night, and of course there were slow *** people in the left lane that i was behind. I see a low and wide car with flip up lights coming up on me pretty fast, and i realized it was a vette. This guy was riding my *** i guess because he thought there was no one in front of me. Well he tried to haul *** around and cut me off. So i gave it a little gas just so he that he couldnt. After that he was just gunning his car, and weaving in and out of traffic to get beside me, but there were way too many cars and definately no room. Well he keeps following me and takes my same exit for downtown destinations . You see this is a three lane road for about half a mile with no traffic. He pulls up beside me and before i have a chance to downshift he hauls ***. I was thinking , because theres really only enough room for one good race, but he slows down and gets beside me again. I guess this time he was going to wait for me so we were going about 65. I put it in third get the rpms up and drop the hammer. He follows suit but i got about a half car jump. I'm expecting him to pull by at any second but he never does. I slam fourth and look in my side view mirror to see i pulled him by about a car and at the top of fourth maybe a car and a half. We slow down coming up on the exit and both take pease. He rolls down his window with his girl in the car and says man that thing is fast. I was like yeah it's alright nice car. He said i just put a corsa on it. I told him it sounded good and that i have a borla. Then i said well hey i work at the hub come by. He never did so i dont know what else he had, but i have a lid, k&n, borla, and power programmer. Hope it wasnt too long.

Thanks, I guess, but i didn't say for sure he wasn't a six speed. I dont know anything about the car except that he told me it had a corsa exhaust. And also i'm sure you know that he could've also had 3.23's. Either way I won, and it's not like a stock c5 six speed with 3.42's would rape me anyways.

A4 C5 comes with either 2.73 or 3.15 (performance option) gears from the factory....Unless he put after market 3.23 gears.
