Default ZR1 Kill

Alright I was on my way to Mejer to get cat food, and I decide to drive around and see whats out there. I see a red Vette and pull in and the kid is like its just a 1990 Vette, all stock. He says I can't find anyone that can beat me. I didn't see the ZR1 badge and was like what an all stock LT1 and no one has beat you. He says no LT5. I said I got a car that could hang, he says lets go. We went out and I told him go from a 25 roll, and he starts. We roll at 25 he hits it, and I give him him a car. car and a half jump, and by 110 I had him by three cars and was pulling hard, so I shut down. I said what happened, and he says your quick, lets do it again. Again we go and same result, I spanked his ***.

No bullshit, I gave him the jump and ran him twice for good measure. BTW, my car is all top end as well, and it was a good race. My car hits 380RWHP at 5500 and goes holds 390 all the way to 6500, thats top end baby. Each with a M6 and 342 gears.

NIce kill! Both cars sound every sweet. But are you sure it was ZR1? You said it didn't have any badges? If i had a ZR1 i wouldn't take the bagdes off. But either way nice kill.
