Default My KILL against a Corvette!!

I am veteran when it comes down to f-bodies since I use to own a 95 firehawk for 5 years and I have just bought a 2002 WS6 about 2 months ago. These past few months I have done a couple of bolt on upgrades which have helped my car a SLP Loud Mouth, SLP Lid, K&N filter, SLP 85 MM MAF, Smooth Bellow, ported throttle body, grantielli strut tower brace and my car comes with the LS6 intake.
Last night in Chicago at around 11:30 at night as I am cruising with my brother I see a white LT1 corvette opposite road coming towards me and my brother. I say "watch this" to my brother. I quickly bust a U- Turn and follow the corvette. Dont get me wrong I LOVE each and every single Corvette out on the road. I quickly chase him down and I line up next to him and listen to his very loud exhaust on a huge two lane straight away road and ask him:"what year is that?" and he replies "a 95". So I tell him "that thing has an LT1" he replies "yeah it has an LT1". So I rev my engine and as the light turns green he takes off and I quickly follow chase him down and pass him up like it was nothing. I was shocked at how easy it was to pass him by.
We line up next to each other and he says that thing is not that fast!! I say oh yeah than what happened to you just right now?? My brother instigates and says lets do this on Cicero Ave, which is a huge two lane avenue with long long straight aways. We finally line up light turns green he gets a quick jump I do my thing and before I knew it he was about 7 to 8 car lengths behind me. My brother goes WOW.
He then asks me is your car supercharged?? I go nope just a couple bolt ons. He was shocked in amazement.
That is just one of my street kills aside from killing an Evolution the other day!!

sweet kill

I love how you put him in his place after he said you were not that fast, you were faster than him, right?

Great kill.

Yea I use to have a LT1 Ws6 and then I got smoked by a 99 SS with Lid and Hpp3, I mean smmmokkkked, and my LT1 would woop up on LT1 Vettes, race 3 of them from highway rolls and left them!!! Thats why I got rid of my LT1 TA and drive what I have now and love every minute of it(until something breaks)

Hey, when you raced, were you by Archer? Just wondering because I may have seen you around before.

Nice kill. Some of the LT1 C4s came w/ a 2.55 rear end(autos) and are just flat out slow. With a few mods they can become a handfull so keep that in mind. For some reason vette owners are the most fun to kill...they think they are in GMs fastest car...thats just not true all the time.
