OWNED a vette Today on my way to school late I caught front row at a red light with a shiny white later model C3 vette. I looked at the driver and we nodded in a "nice car" sort of way, then while returning my eyes to the road i threw him 2 quick revs. When he didnt rev back i figured he didn't want to hurt his baby, but when the light went green, he jumped! i slipped the clutch so i wouldn't spin and once i was sure i would have traction, I put in on the floor! by the top of first we were even, I shifted 2nd right in his face 
, the tires broke, and I was outta there! it was a bloodbath! I think it might have been an early 80's/late 70's model since he got killed so bad, not sure though. anyways, that was my first battle with a vette and I am quite proud! (not looking for any trouble from LS1/6/2 vettes yet tho...

Nice kill.
Nice kill.
Article also said the upgraded engine (L82 350) put out 225 ponies stock, so obviously no match for an LT-1.

Picking on late 70 to late 80 models where the horsepower varied from 180 - 245 hp is nothing impressive. Try your luck with a 97 up Corvette.

Actually, I have had the pleasure of beating a 2000 C5 only. However, I am looking forward to my buddy kicking my *** in his 74' vette with many mods on his 454 and 400 turbo. But, I am not against racing anything, win or lose. Even an old 69' vette.... LOL

Either way, a kill is a kill and congrats.

As for racing you.... I know your Z06 would kick my *** and hell maybe the 69' as well.
Actually, I have always favored the Firebird but the Vette Sting Rays have the baddest design and since I saw "corvette summer" as kid I have always wanted to own one. Nice rides
