Default Killed a Red T/A

I was going down a main street and I noticed a red WS6 T/A going the other direction so I did a U turn. I came up on him and he turned at a light. I turned also and he was expecting me as he was waiting around the corner. First run: from about a 30mph roll. We both hit it and I pulled a couple of cars and shut it down. Second run: He got the jump while I sat there and fumbled gears. I finally got going and started to reel him in but I shut it down because by the time I would have caught him, we would have been well over 80mph and this wasn't the place to do that. He can claim it if he wishes. Third run: at a stop sign....dead dig(or so I thought). He gave me the nod and said "let's do it". I said a'ight. I noticed he had some wet spots in his lane so I knew he wasn't going to get off the line. So I didn't really launch. Just waited for him to get traction(what a nice guy I am). When he did get up even with me with traction, I joined in and pulled strongly about two car lengths before I shut it down. This was not a great place to race so I shut down once the point was made. He pulled up next to me and gave me props and I returned the props and we went on our way. Seemed like a cool dude.....and nice car.

What have you done to that thing and how much are you spraying?

Hmmm Z06. When I get a few mods I want a shot at the Z06. I have a hardtop Vette.

No Chris I will not race you!
