Not a problem, if you would of had this in your Jeep the guys in the Vette's would have noticed, especially when you blew by them ... 700 hp, 650 lbs

Next time, pull out a flag that has the C5 logo on it and wave it at them. Maybe they will get the hint.

But now think about this: take that Jeep, lower on stock bolts, performance hood seal, tiger shark fascia, red calipers, window valet, run flats, Z06 side brake vents, MCM hood, SS inserts, flush brake lights, GHL Bullets, short throw shifter... and THEN those Vettes would notice you.....

Great story!

Maybe we all out to put a special logo on the DDs so we can still wave and recognize one another? I don't know how Mustang folks would take to seeing a pair of crossed flags on my GT vert tho!

You mean that they let Jeeps on the highway? I thought they were strictly off-road, the further the better.
