Cool C5 Zo6 picked on me.

mid 30 or late 20ish looking guy in his blue z06 was riding my *** so i moved over to let him pass but instead of passing he wanted to play. so we were side by side and i let him hit it first. from behind i knew it had some kind of exhaust due to only 2 oval shape tips were showing instead 4 tips. it was kinda loud but i couldnt really hear it over my loud TD setup. anyways, we went from 50 punch i came back from behind and put 2 cars or less on him till 120mph. after that he wanted rematch so we went on 3 honks. from 40-45ish mph till 125ish mph i pulled 3 or less cars on him befo i shut down. it was a good race overall. i wish we could have gone from a dig.

Still wouldn't matter, he had 2-3 cars on him, 15hp won't make up that.

Good Kill bro!... What's the difference between a Firebird and Firehawk?... Or is it just an added performance or appearance package?...

EDIT: And or Trans Am.. I have no idea what a Firehawk is..

If it was blue it was a 405hp. Electron Blue in 2002/2003 or LeMans Blue (with stripes -Z16-) in 2004.

EB replaced Speedway White from 2001 to the 2002 MY.

I totally believe it, my wife's Camaro when it was MTI X1/Heads/LS6 intake/ported TB/UD pulley, hypothetically put 2-3 cars on a stock 405 Z06.
