Default SS vs C5

well on the way back from monterey with my gf we see a black C5 vette on 152 comin up slowly on the right side. btw my gf is driving since i was just released from the hospital. anyway i put my window down, thumbs up and thankkfully i see him come up quick on my right and passes me up up so i look at my gf and say "floor it . . . all the way down!" but since she's kinda of scared of the power so she only goes half throttle which is enough to catch up and pass him with distance. but when i looked over to give him the nod and thumbs up him and his friend looked staright so i had my gf keep ****** with him for about 60 miles . . . . . we had fun

Yeah, the "vs" was misleading. Nothing went "against" anything.

The fact that he (she) caught up and passed is more of a race than some of the posts I have seen in here.
