came around on me
For the first time the back end came around on me. The stiuation goes as follows:
California stop turning to the right. Head into the turn and punch it. Half way through I hear tires squeal. Foot still in it I feel the back end begin to swing left of center. Slight twitch of steering wheel to the left and back on line. Never let off it. It felt good. Very good. There were witnesses. Dont care what they thought. Love raisin hell. Finally a good venture in the vette. :cheers:

Re: came around on me (Jvette73)
I can relate! This morning I took the Z for an appointment 50 miles away. Got on the freeway by way of one of my favorite on ramps. It starts as an a "S" before you get to the long straight to merge with the highway. Going fast in 2nd in the final right hand portion and I smoothly ease the throttle to the floor. The tail comes out, the tires are burning, the engine is screaming, I maintain this crossed up attitude 'til 3rd gear. A truly shameful display of power!
I've been grinning all day! :D

Cool! :yesnod:
I took a girl from work on a quick trip in the vette today. She was loving it. I've never actually seen somebody melt into a seat before but when I got out onto the main road and floored it in first she was lovin' it. I though we guys were the only ones who got off on noisy horsepower. Anyhow, just to see what she'd think I decided to try my hand at a burnout. (my first by the way) I turned right onto a fairly deserted stretch of road (no cars around) and came to a stop. She looks at me like "What the heck are you doing stopping in the middle of the road?" A very logical thing to think. I planted my left foot on the brake and began applying gas with the right. When the car started to overpower the brakes I stomped the gas and let off the brake a little. Car did a fishtailing burnout for about 20 feet where I completely left off the brake and took off like a cook out of a kitchen. :D She was in awe.
I love Corvettes!
