Default LT1 Vs C5 Vette

So, i'm on my way to the bank when this black C5 vette pulls up. I actually hear it, before i see it. It sounded like it had a small cam, but i now believe it was just a loud catback without any cats, because it was loud. Honestly, it didn't sound that great.

At this point, im thinking that im going to get my a$$ handed to pretty bad since we were going on the highway...Well, im behind him and he floors it on the on ramp and i pursued and started to pull. I realized that his car was an automatic as well as mine and it seemed like when he got on it, his car may have been in a bad spot. Since i was behind him anticipating him to floor it, i made sure i would downshift into first. So, i got a good hit from behind and actually pulled and got right next to him until he let off.

Then, i get behind him again and he hits it at about 55-60ish. I hit it right after him and it looked like we were staying dead even with maybe him inching a little bit. (he got the hit though) After that, i got next to him and he got behind me. Well, i had a clear shot and got on it. He got on it right behind me and the same thing happened. I hit it at about 55 and we ended at 125 and he never moved from where he was behind me. Never closer or too much farther...I maybe inched a bit.


After all that, we went our seperate ways and this eclipse GST pulls up next to me on the highway. I hear his loud BOV and he has his G/F in the car trying to get me to run. We hit it at about 60 and i started pulling it pretty hard. At no point it seemed close. I got off the exit and he followed. He got next to me and we went from a 25 roll. Yeah, that race ended at about 50 since i had about 3 cars on him from there...I guess those cars are not very fast...

Anyway, my car just has bolt ons (LT headers, Y-pipe, CAI, LT4 KM, tune, 3:23 geared) and the last time i went to the track i ran an 8.4 in the 1/8. That was a while ago, since then i got some BFG's and i would like to see a better 60'.

55mph is a horrible spot for an A4 in the C5
