Default C5 Kill (Kinda long)

This happened a couple weeks ago.

A buddy of mine and I were cruising from my side of town to the side where all the racing happens on Saturday nights. We get off the interstate, and there is a silver C5 behind me at the light to make a left. I saw him back there, and was hoping for something fun. The light turns green, so I start making a left. The C5 jumps into the lane next to me and does a ricer fly by. Immediately, my buddy starts yelling at me to get up there with him. I tried to catch him, but by this time, there was already traffic all around us. So, I paced him a few cars back for a LONG time until traffic opens and we get a light. We are at a three lane stoplight. I'm in the left, some kind of Mercedes was in the middle, and the C5 was in the right lane. I couldn't see the C5, because the mercedes was blocking my view. So, I got ready to turn the bottle on, and got ready for the light to change. I figured I would go easy out of the hole 'cause I wasn't sure if this shmuck wanted to race. Plus, I have some MAJOR traction issues. Anyway, the light turns, and I give it about half throttle. I look over, and the C5 was about even with me. I keep easing into the throttle, waiting for him to jump. He jumped, and we were off. I INSTANTLY put about a car on him, and when I hit second, I switched the bottle on. C-ya. Only went to about 80, and I had about 5 cars on him and pulling. I shut it down, and ZOOM, there goes the C5. He wouldn't slow down to let me give him a thumbs up, and he turned into his nice neighborhood. I turned aroud, and started backtracking the 10 miles I followed him for with a big smile on my face.

Sure, there are some fast C5's, but it's such a good feeling to smoke a yuppy that thinks he bought the fastest car in the world. Thanks for reading guys.

Very nice! I like C5's alot,but my car serves a better purpose for me than a 2 seater. I wonder what a C5 with all my mods would run? Nice Kill.

Great kill, Nick. Red SS, I don't think it would be much better. Based on your ET and Mph, your car appears to be pretty well dialed in. If you got a MN6, I don't think you would be nearly as consistent. An A4, probably just as good. Go for it!!!
