Default Ethyl meets a Bad A$$ C5

Thing about where I live is there are a few good shops around that really do awesome work on LSx cars. C5's are truly like the proverbial box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get. I've been seeing one around for some time now and trying to line up with him. There is always some numbnutts in a bimmer, harley, tundra truck, or G35 that wants to square off with the poor guy so I never been able to get my "Cavy" up beside him.

Yesterday me n Ethyl were out MMOB cruising in Dirty Water Mexico and there he was. I hollered over to Ethyl, don't look Ethyl but it was too late, she done been revved at. From a slow roll it was as good a race as I have been in. The Vette would easily carry a stock C5 Z06. Kudos to him. Enjoy the Video.

Haha I like how you immediately turned the camera to point behind you.

Great guy, was good to talk to someone about cars. I just made the offer first. BTW I never claimed a kill, he pulled to the left to keep me from getting cutoff. Just a great car and a great driver and a hoot of an afternoon.
