The vette got a massive jump on the races! Not that it would have really mattered much.. But still!

Good races..

I love when I see a guy in a new vette. He sees a Camaro and thinks it's an easy kill until it's go time!! I had a guy once start toying with me in the car. I had my old lady in the car with me so I didn't take the bait until she asked me if I was going to let this guy punk me all day. After a few hits from different speeds the guy wanted me to pull over to bullshit. The first words out of that guys mouth at the gas station was WTF do you have in that thing!!

Between the vette jumping and the time it takes that A4 to downshift, that first race should have been 1-1.5 cars closer. Obviously would still have been a loss, but much closer.

I always downshifted my autos by hand and then just clicked them into drive after punching it. I got sick of losing races by a car or less due to the downshift time.

Thumbs up for still posting the video lol

A decent set of heads and a cam I think youd give that vette a good run for its money.

those were rediculously early jumps by the vette owner. after seeing how close (or how unfair this race really was) the first time, it was a real dick head move of that guy to jump the gun early AGAIN on the second run.

Judging by paint color it's a 08+ LS3 like mine
The only other external tip-off to a C6 from 2008+ (which makes it an LS3) are the slightly different rims, unless it is a Grand Sport in which case it is an LS3 for sure. But then you have to watch out for rim swaps and GS clones

In all honesty, after the runs and i came back around him and gave him a thumbs up. He came off as 1 of those who just thinks he's the "****" in his Vette or something. He still had a serious type look on his face, unless he's just like that all the time lol
