Default 2005 Vette goes down!

on my way home from work on Highway 80 here in nor-cal. cruising about 70mph when i see a 05 vette coming up on me, i see if he wants to play and pace him right along side, i give the gas a slight tap and thats all it took, i see him down shift along with myself (into 3rd) and he hits it, he gets about a nose in front before i start to pass him towards the end of 3rd, rap 3rd out and hit 4th, from there it was all over, got lil over a car length on him before i shut it down, i figured i proved my point and didnt need to pull any more away from him than i already had done. Good run anyway, just glad to get a newer vette to run me, most guys around here are too **** to do a quick run!

Yeah, good run, but what do you have done? I hear that the new Vette is pretty quick.

Nice kill. I've been wanting to run one for a while. No luck though, always in the wrong car when I see them.

Good run. The new Vettes are capable of running 11's stock, same as the C5 Z06's. But even with his weight/aero advantage, with the 450rwhp, or whatever you have, that's too much to overcome for ~360rwhp. Plus the car could be brand new and not even broken in yet. Sounds like he hung pretty good though.
