Default '01 Z28 vs Skittle

First time I've ran against one of these things. He had what I assume was his gf, I had a homie with me. Went from a light that turned green right as I stopped. Both of us rolled out of it to maybe 10mph, then he hit it and I did the same. Just started walking away, shut down I'd estimate around 80 with at least 2-3 cars on him, to slow down for a stop sign. Was a city street I'm not too familiar with, so I wasn't looking at the speedo, which is way off anyway. I let him lineup again, and I'm looking at the intersection pavement and it looks like it has all kinds of bumps and crap. We do the same thing, roll out a bit until he hits it. He starts spinning and bouncing off the limiter on the poor road surface, I just kept it at maybe half throttle anticipating spin at WOT. Road evened out after the intersection and then I layed it down with the same results. Seemed like a couple cars at least in my rearview to about 60-70mph, my friend was saying I pulled him hard from start to finish and it wasn't even close. Threw my hand out with a thumbs up while he was still behind me as I turned into the parking lot of our destination. Was a nice little birthday present .

A Skittle? LOL - Never heard it called that but I guess when SR T4 gets edited, you have to come up with a new term...
