Default Respectable C4

The other night at like 3:30 in the morning, a buddy of mine and I were cruising down the street and noticed a C4 going the other direction. I quickly pulled a u-turn and caught up to him. As soon as he saw me next to him, he gave me a nod, and I knew we were going to race. So, the first race, we went from about a 40 roll. I was a little worried, 'cause my car is a slug from 40 in 2nd gear. As soon as we got on it, I started pulling, and once I had about a car, he backed off, so I did too. I saw him slow to about 30, so I knew he wanted to go from a first gear roll. I was happy about that. So, we get on it, and he hung pretty well through the top of first, but as soon as I hit second, I started pulling pretty hard. After I put a couple cars on him, which didn't take long, he backed out. We gave each other a thumbs up, and that was that. That was my first race against a C4. I know they aren't all that, but a kill is a kill. Thanks for reading.

Watch out for the '96 6 speeds too, they are all LT4s. The LT4 is on par with the LS1 stock for stock! My friends LT4 ran 12.8 with only muffler eliminators and Hooker shorty headers.

And the term C4 spans a lot of different cars....maybe you hooked into an L98....who knows. Good Kill!!!!!!
