Default Another C5 kill...
hey guys, today I was driving home and got on the freeway. I look in my back mirror and I see a C5 vette. A filipino guy was driving it. So I downshift and wait for him to pull up next to me. We are going like 70, im in 3rd. He looks at me, gets the hit, I hit it instantly. He has half a car on me I top out 3rd gear, and im pulling back. I shift to 4th and I walk him. The guy just looks at me. I give him a thumbs up and so does he. Good run. Thats my second C5 kill. It was an auto vette with exhaust and k&n filter.

Nice kill. The auto C5 was at a major disadvantage from a 70 roll against your manual. I got mine down to a 12.9 stock, and raced my buddy's stock FRC. He beat me by 3+ cars from a roll.
