Default C5 kill

So Im coming home from work and I see this dad and his kid in a drop top c5. The window was up and it had the sticker still on it from the dealership.

So Im thinking yeah right this guy aint gonna race his bran new baby....Well to my surprise after we had an opening he gets next to me and I give it a lil blip so his son will egg his dad on. Then he gets on it and I follow(this was off like a 40 roll probably and he was stick too)

As soon As I dropped to second and launched her I took back the lead he had from going first.....then when I wound out 3rd I was about4-5 cars ahead...shifted to fourth and then just slowed down after that...

The next light he was next to me and they were like whats in that thing.... and I stated oh its just headers and exhaust.... I said that because I wanted him to realize he should have got a zo6 for the same price as his cnvt. Oh well I wasnt mean or cocky I kinda felt bad for him.

Look on the bright side, with the 'vert you can see the confused look on his face better in your rear-view mirror! Agreed, he shoulda went with the ZO6.

Ya really gotta take it easy on us LT1 guys. Our motor is old and not nearly built to the quality to that of the C5 LS1... it's just really exciting for us to kill one. Don't take offense, when C5 guys run the F-bodies I give 'em props all the time. Let's just try to keep it all peaceful in the GM camp last thing we need is a civil war in the midst of all the ricers.
