Default Killed a C5!

My buddies and I were in Houston last weekend from college, so we decided to go cruisin around h-town. I had my M6 Camaro out. I was on Hwy 6 when I saw a c5. I have not driven my camaro in 5 weeks, so I was thirsty for a kill. I noticed the c5 was an M6 when it took off from the light. I went by it and gave it a little rev. The c5 was 2 lengths behind me when I saw the headlights go up. By the time I was in it the c5 was at my door. It got ahead by a length. Then I started to pull and ended up beatin it by a length and half at 90 mph.
That makes 2 c5 kills for the camaro!

must have been an A4 vert C5 for you to be walking all over it. I have raced a variety of vettes and they are normally a good contender.

A real race is from a dead dig, not this roll stuff. And I agree it must have been an a4 because your car with those mods aint pulling no m6 with equall drivers.

yes brandon it is length, but he did beat the vette. it was a m6 with only Aftermarket exhaust and nothing else. the woman who was driving the car sucked, but at least she was willing to run. The ss did win, but he has free mods, smooth bellows, etc on the car also! it was a good 1 to 1.5 car win for the ss. it was from a roll, cause you have to take what you can get!
