Default E55 AMG vs C7 Corvette

Headed home from work doing 85 in a 70, and I see this red dot coming up fast. Gets closer, and I see its a Vette. He goes by and I get on it to catch up and so does he. We turn the corner and I gun it and get off of it because I wasn't sure if he was going or not. When I see his front end raise hard I hit it and drove around him. I'm currently on my 16s and DRs due to cracking a rim Posted both go pro and dashcam since ive been accused of racing cars that aren't.
E55-Tune, DRs
Vette-Unknown

Yes. Bolt on 1le 6th gen and bolt on drag pack S550. Cant get any faster cars to play. Wife gets more hits in her Genesis. Guess my car doesn't look fast enough. Even with the go pro and 16s I only get stock or mildly built cars to play
Edit: and Larry gave me the gap lol

He let out when I passed him. You can see how hard he bit that dip. That's why I got out of it and back on it. I was door to door with one when stock. They run low 13s high 12s stock here

Looked like the C7 guy was not interested in racing you at all..... looks like he got on it and that was it.

From the angle and how far behind you were, nobody watching this video can tell if his front end lifted or not if he was truly in it all the way.

Also, how are we suppose to hear his exhaust over that trash song?

LOVE YOU TRISSY!

Love that song...

Anyone can see that he's not gradually accelerating. Why else would he first, pass me when I'm already doing 15 over, and then do at least 40 over on the 2nd road if he wasn't racing? He had to be doing at least 90 in a 55. Why else would he have been going that fast if he weren't racing. I shut down around 110ish so he had to be in it
