Default Hung with C5.....

Friday was a nice day here in Chicago. At a red light I was behind a black C5. Light turned green for our left turn, there was nobody in front of the C5 so after he got done with his left he floored it, and so did I. Glad to say I stayed right with him and maybe even reeled him in a little before we had to shut down. Got a for my effort. Just representing the old C3 crowd. Little motor work, we can run with the best.

Good point. C3s are the best. I should clarify to say we can run with cars that came off the showroom faster than ours did. A little mods, and there we go.

But its rare that a newer car wants to go a block or two with mine.

When I first saw this thread I thought you were trying to get a date.
