Default First Zo6 kill

Today I went to a local shop where most of the zo6's and big block f-bodies hang out, and where we all like to talk sh!+ before race nights. One of the 2002 or 2003 zo6 was installing a set of 1600.00 headers and catback plus a some kind of special intake duct for the vetts. After the install he decided that he wanted to go and get it dynoed. Well lucky for me the dyno is in the same direction as my house. Well I just installed my heads and cam about a 2 weeks ago and just got my mail order tune back one week (nitrous tune). I took this a good time to see how my car runs. Well we pull out of the gas station and I get on it hard to see if he would try and catch me. Well like i planned he pulled up behind me and then gets along side of me. He dropped the car down in third me the same and we go from a 50mph roll. I immeditaly jump half a car on him and kept pulling on him all the way through forth untill I ran out of gear (4:10s) and then he came flying by. Did the same race three more times with the same results

Nice.

50 mph in 3rd for a C5 Z06 isn't the best way to start a roll race. That's 2nd gear territory, which is good to 70 mph.
