Default My first highway race!

I got to race on the highway tonite for the first time! It was my 2001 ws6 with lid/LTs/ORY/borla vs 01 Z28 with at least magnaflow catback but could not tell what all else. I get on the highway, minding my own business, and the red z28 comes flyin up beside me like some badazz. So first race we go from 50 to about 75 I pulled away by about a car length or so. He pulls up beside me agian this time we go from 50 to about 120, he took off just before I did and keep about 1 -1 1/2 car lenghts ahead of me. So should I be embarrased that I was beat by a z28? from what I read an LS1 is an LS1 no matter if its a camaro or TA. I also had 2 friends in the car and I have subs/amp in the trunk so I had some xtra weight! He did not have anyone in the car with him.

Audio eqipment vs your pride. It will come to that at some point on your modding journey. I am sure at only 1-2 cars, the extra 300+lbs from your buddies cost you that run. No shame, you can't win em all.
