Default Got killed by a new Z06!

Well, I got my wish and finally raced a new Z06. I was on Interstate 10 heading towards New Orleans from BR. I was stuck in traffic and while slowly moving through I worked up next to a new 2007 black Z06. We chatted while moving through traffic and when things cleared we got on it. We punched off from a 40 roll with me starting in 2nd gear. I pulled a little bit in 2nd and 3rd to have about a nose on the new Z. Then we both hit 4th and he rolled by me. All said and done I lost by about a car. The torque they have gives them a mean 4th gear!! We both pulled over at the next exit and chatted for a bit. The guy was really cool and had just got the car. It was still all stock with hardly any options.
