vette vs d-max

went to pick up the kids at the skatepark and found ourselves lining up next to a c5 at a stoplight. we decided to hit it at a slow roll (just started moving after leaving the green light) and was quite surprised at the outcome. we were dead even up to about 60ish and both let out.

now I will be honest and mention that the car had a cowl-style hood on it so maybe it wasn't stock and maybe he wasn't trying. but I couldn't hear him over my truck so it was tough to tell. I have beaten a stock c5 before, so ya never know.

very nice looking car and the driver seemed cool when the kids gave him a thumbsup. black c5 with a taller hood and a convertible

the kids got so excited to race someone that none of them got vids

Diesel rigs are awesome. I had an 08 6.4 that I miss dearly. 4x4 launches on the street ftw!
