Default C6 goes down

Last nite I was on my way across town to pick up my daughter from her moms house. I had just turned off my street onto the main drag hoping to catch the next light- but as luck would have it it turned yellow right as I turned out. As I'm sitting at the light I look up ahead about 150 yards and see what looks like the tell-tale tail lights of a Vette parked on the side of the road. I think nothing more of it- light turns green and I proceed. As soon as I get past the car I hear a roar and sure enough- it's a Vette. As he gets closer I was able to get as closer look and sure enough it's a Burgandy Red C6!! He gets next to me Revs and drops the hammer. I didn't flinch....but that thing sounded BEASTLY. He slows back down and we pace each other at about 40. I down shift to second and give him the nod- I tell him to go ahead I'll hit it when you do. He immediately slams the throttle and I do the same. He jumped out about 3/4 of a car because of the hit. I hit the top of 2nd and we're side by side- 3rd I start walking pretty hard by about 2-1/2 cars I hit 4th and get about another car and a half. Mid 4th we shut it down. I slowed down to the speed limit so I could give him a thumbs up but he took the next turn.....oh well- all in all I'm pretty stoked. This is the first "race" I've had with the Z and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Hopefully next week when I get my Fast 92 and new tune I'll have some better numbers.

463 rwhp......but I'm running pig rich right now for some reason. Hopefully the dyno tune can take care of that next week. Hoping for 480+.

Nice looking TA btw.- judging from your sig it sounds like it's a beast.
