Good kill. Too bad the vetter driver did the ricer hazard flash. And then asks if thew bottle ran out. What an ***, he was just mad he got owned. Good launch and shifting man, what tires were you running?

What a lame *** in the C5, doesn't he know we have V8s too, and the same LS1 at that. Only 4 and 6 cylinders require nitrous or turbos to be fast. Good kill on a ricer driving a vette, shoulda told him he needed a huge spoiler to keep up.

Hey man, you ripped his *** out of the hole. Great run. I bet he wish he had a solid rear. What the hell was he thinking? J/King........... Vettes are for road courses. Flame on!

He was trying to downplay the fact that he got ripped? Run what you brung.

He discounted you and got his *** handed to him.

Godamn! I love f-body LS1s!

Bald nitto 555r's. that road sucked *** too, after no traction out of the hole against a honda, and a STi (that beat me) that also runs mid 12s, i actually walked up to the line, and checked the starting line for a good spot to start from. I have et street radials now and will stick with em! (nittos arent bad when theyre not bald tho, i had some hard launches in the past with them on the street 3000-3500 rpm)
