Was it a convertible? Was it automatic? Cuz if so the automatics can be dealt with, especially if it was an automatic convertible. Even the M6's can be had if you can drive.

The shortest kill story ever posted. Whether or not it should of doesn't matter if you did.

I have pulled quite a few stock 'vettes, or what I presume to be stock.

For the majority, they were auto-convertibles, a few were 6spd 'verts too. I also raced a 6spd FRC, and I dont know what his deal was, but he REALLY couldn't drive, haha.

I had an M6 C5 pull about 1 car length on me from 30-100 or so. From the sound of his car he knew how to drive it, and I wouldnt consider myself a slouch (unless I'm launching the car )

There are plenty of scenarios that would result in a win for you and you don't give us any details, really, so nice kills.

So many Vette owners don't know how to drive or race their cars. The biggest mistake they make is leaving Traction Control ON.
