Default 96 corvette goes down and a surprise

well i was cruising around town looking for someone to play with, when i see this white corvette. After getting a better look at it i see that it was the 96 model that was at a dealer lot a few months ago, well we went from a red light and he started to creep so i didnt think he was game then i see the back end hunch down a bit and i knew he was game so i floor it by this time his door is at my mirror but i am spinnig so i stay in it hoping the tires get grip which they finaly did at about 45 and by that time i had about half a car on him and was pulling hard i shut down around 65 and he waved and turned off. kinda fun for the first race of the year.

Then about an hour later i see this 99 grand prix that i heard was pretty fast so i get to talking to him and he tells me he has a supercharger, exhaust, cam, and intake and is pushing 280hp to the wheels so i ask if he wants to run and he says yes we went from a 20 mph roll he got the jump and had no traction problems what so ever and i was spinning trying to get traction and he starts waving goodbye to me and bam i get traction and pass him pulling good, and he had this look on his face that was priceless. well i let up after that and he didnt want to race anymore i told him he had a quick little car and he said my car sounds good and we just played around a little. all in all good night.

Isn't it great when you finally grip? I love that feeling. I lost to a V6 Camaro one time because i spun 'em all the way to the next light haha. I knew him though and we just laughed about it afterwards. Awesome job beating the Vette and Grand Prix! Keep up the good work and stay safe!

Maybe the V6 Camaro was faster.
