First Kill......
I know this belongs in kill section but I don't think many read that including me. Out for a Sunday drive, stopped at a light I see a Impala SS a few cars back. Light changes I get on it alittle . Pull away from other cars. Look in my rearview and see Impala pass other cars in a no pass zone and comming up on me quick. Speed limit is 45 and I am going about 47. He gets on my bumper and then when we hit a straightaway w/ no cars coming he pulls beside me. As soon as we are even I drop into 3rd and pull away quick. I see him in rearview. I slow back down to speed limit and as soon as he gets a chance he passes me ( I let him.) As I have already shown him the LT4 rules. I know this is nothing to really brag about and it was a very short and safe race as I would only do this under the right circumstances. I did not instigate this but I think I taught him alittle respect for the vette. It felt pretty good. I love this car. Guy

Re: First Kill...... (85vetteguy)
I killed a Impala SS with the LT1 for my first kill too. I had to do it at a light while I was parked behind the impala. I was quite surprised on how quick the Vette snatched him up and spit him out!

Re: First Kill...... (Hurricane_777)
It really was not much of a race. I knew it would not be a problem unless he had something under the hood I did not know about. I do not condone this type of activity but he asked for it and I think my testosterone level was kind of high so I had to do it. It was quite an adreniline rush but it was over rather quickly. I think he actually thought he could beat me. He probably won't be racing any vettes any time soon. Guy :lol:
