Default Beaten by a C6Z :(

so we had a couple of miles to have fun on but it wasnt much of a race

old guy and his old wife got a 2007 c6z and i asked if he would wanna race to just see what would happen

he said not a snowball in hells chance you will even keep up

so after they left the gas station my friend and i decided to follow.

i got up next to him at 75 mph and he just launched it and before i realized it he was a couple cars ahead of me so i punched it and kept up slightly but he was pulling a little.

did a second run at 50 but this bastard just goes while giving me a 3-4 second disadvantage and had me at about 3-4 cars at 130

wish we could have raced at the same time i think it would have been close. but of course he would have beaten me but by how much

It definitely sucks when the other driver can't do an even start, but you would've gotten beat either way.

Nice death to a nice car!

alot of older ppl do that ****.......i raced a guy in a z28.....we did a dig....he had LTs,hpp3,M/T dr, and a stall......i left on motor just to see what would happen....he jumped out anout 3 cars on me and i wasnt catching him....so i flipped on the magic switch...and did a little fly by.....it was funny....he thought he had it won ....anyway.....we slowed down and were going to do it again....he said there was no point if i was gonna spray ****.....so i said lets do a 20 roll and i'll keep it on motor.....so we get going 20...and right when i start to say on 3 honks he hits in on me....only getting maybe a 1/2 a car before i lay into it....i ended up pulling past him and winning by 1 and haft.........thank god for the 6-speed

******* in a pewter 'vert Z28 A4 did a fly-by type race against me when I first got my 5.0 finished. I was pissed. Then he had the nerve to say "your blower belt slipped" (my fan-belt was routed wrong as we were in a hurry and it sqeeked past 5K and on a downshift).

Good way to man up to this loose. the guy you raced is a wuss getting the jump on you like that, especially with that car. Some people just dont like to loose.

nice death.

sounds like the new setup is working out nicely for the Z.


98.999% of cars out here on the road couldn't remotely hang. Metropolitan Phoenix is bullshit.

How much power are you putting down the wheels with your setup?

With your mods, you have no chance to contend with a C6 Z06. No way. maybe you could 1000 ft someone sleeping but, he's coming around at the top.

125-128mph traps stock dude.

I'm thinking you need to update your time slip and get your 12 sec club title changed, am I right, or do you have something going wrong on a heads and cam car?

good death, too bad for the early starts on his part but at least once you got going it doesn't sound like he was pulling away TOO bad. I would love to run one just to see how bad i would get beat (like you said). it's all in good fun unless someone is being a dick...then you remind them that they just paid about $90,000 for their car and you bought yours for probably less than 20K, haha.

Don't complain about him getting an early start. You asked him to street race(which is illegal). He honestly said no(which doesn't make him a wuss). Then you decide to follow the guy(which you shouldn't have). Then the guy decides what the hell, lets see if this guy can keep up. If you're car was faster, you would have pulled on him regardless of whether or not he started early.

wasnt complaining...i knew what i was doing, on an open stretch with no intersections or residentials for that matter...neither did i call him a wuss lol. and i was just curious what i would do if we went near the same time ha

videos:

First run was from a 40...he honked we ended at 125

Second run was from a 35, i lost traction but i hooked thank god shortly after but he pulled me...ended around 130
