Default Messed with a Z06, surprise.

Driving along a 3 lane yesterday, a Z06 pulls into the next lane in front of me. I say what the hell, dropped, behind him and came up close. As expected, he takes off .

I decided simply to stick behind him due to our lane being the only one clear, so we gun it for a quick 40-80 romp. I stuck to his bumper like glue and had to stay at about 80% throttle to keep from running into him.

At the next light I pull up next to him, he lowers the window and yells "I LIKE THAT! I couldn't pull you at all!" with his girl as passenger looking over with eyes wide open. I yell back "I'd rather have THAT" pointing at his sweet ride.
He asks what I have, I tell him "Heads and Cam, and I wasn't into it full throttle". He nods, seemed very surprised and went on his way.

Nice run. Z06's are awesome rides. Gotta respect 'em. Kick their asses, but respect 'em.

A stock Z06 is a nasty car...my friends runs 12.0 @ 117 with a Varram, lowered one inch, and everything else stock, down the tires. 1.70 short time on a test-n-tune track with no prep. Nothing else stock with an air filter can run those times, except a Viper with a REAL good driver. Hope the new Zo6 has a 427 and 2800 lbs...that would be just silly.

I was at the dealer this morning, drooling over the LeMans Edition Z06's they still have on the lot sitting next to the new C6's.

Cool race.

When you pointed to his"Sweet ride",you did mean the CAR and not the GIRLFRIEND,right.
Nice job!

Great run. Wish you could come to H Town & run "Bad Z06" who claims to be an 11.5 car. Would like to see his face when you pull on him.

BTW: How are you liking the new Jet Hots over the SLP LT's?

I didn't get Jet Hots- I forked over some $$$ and got the QTP High Velocity Merge Collectors, along with the QTP dual elec. cutout Y pipe (has a kick-*** 4" Merge), then a SLP 2OTL.
I love the sound more than the duals. The QTP HVM LT's seemed to have given me some tq on the low end also.

^ Hehe, I didn't get a good look at her, but that would have been funny.

SS is down again for the 90mm LSX intake, Spohn TQ arm install.
Spec III took a dump also, so that's being replaced.
