Default Raced a new Z06 today

I was driving home from the store this morning when i look in my rearview and see the new corvette. This one had plastic covering it and white patches on it covering parts of the body. It looked like a test car. Well at every stop sign the vette got sideways so I was like sweet somebody driving one the way it was meant to be driven. I then took a right hand turn onto a main road and the vette followed and was on my *** so i punched it got the jump but was soon followed only to have the vette on my *** then pull up next to me on the shoulder and blow bye me. I must say I loved every moment of getting my *** kicked. It had white patches over the z06 emblem on the side, huge rear tires it was awesome and it sounded awesome too. It then turned into a NUCar and that was it. A guy in his twenties was driving it too probably worked there. Anyways just thought i would Post myself getting my *** handed to me. My car 98 z28 13.02 in the 1/4

Sounds like a new vehicles inspector getting frisky on a test drive The white patches are plastic strips to protect it during transportation by car hauler.

a guy in his 20's can buy and own a Z06. I bought my '04 Z06, in nov. '03, when i was 26. I'm 28 and will most likely buy a new C6 Z06 next summer. And no Im not a rich kid using mama and dada's money, i just know how to make money in the real estate business.

i also heard that Lou at LG Motorsports got a hold of a new Z06 already and it dyno'd 440 to the wheels. dont know if that is true or not. but im not really impressed if it is. my LS2 402 once done will be putting down 450-470 on a low compression motor, built for FI.

Lou got 440 bone *** stock. Remember, this is a factory 427 that carries a full warranty and was built to last 100K miles. Lou got a 40 rwhp gain just from his long tubes. Once the tuning software is available for the LS7 the car will be headers and a cam swap away from 600 rwhp.

I cant wait to run a new Z06...i will buy some binoculars, but i know plenty of civics that have enough stickers to hang with em maybe I should buy a few stickers, then i could hand one its *** for sure!

(dont you just hate watching a civic jockey a LS1 or something out of a position next to a vette/viper/etc. via some stupid swerve manouver??)???

That was my friggin car! I'm in a dispute with Nucar as when I went to pick up the car the tires were worn down and there was rubber all over in the wheel wells. I'm trying to get my deposit back but they are fighting me on it. They said it was that way when delivered. I need you to get in contact with me so I can get this straightened out!
