Default 98 ta c5 kill

i was out cruising last night and i saw c5 lights coming fast and then weave around me so i knew he was game. i followed him and he made a u-turn and so did i. tried to line up with him and he hit it about a length in front of me, i guess because of traffic coming from behind. so i hit it too and he decides to let off at like 65 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> . i stayed in it and he floored it again before i caught him but i still passed him and held him off until about 130. not a heads up kill really but more of a bad driver kill. in front of the wifey and everything <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . i didnt talk to him but it had stock exhaust and it was a 6speed.

I dare you to post that in corvette forum...That kind of stuff really chaps their ***. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
I like doing that,too.Stock auto C5s are easy meat.I ran one from a light one time driven by acouple of kids.Right before the light changed the passenger said "You ready to get smoked?"
I put three cars on him by 100.Good stuff. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
I'd really like to play with a stock '01 Z06.Not enough of em around. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I am not quite stock but I do see your point. Most c5's are not modded at all. c5 autos with the 2.73 gears are dogs, although there are a couple that run high 12's on the forum.

Bye Rice:

If you are ever in Dallas, email me. I can show you what a c5 with the 3.15's can do.
