Default Challenged by Z28

Me and my wife were coming home from dinner. We stopped at the light and a z 28 pulled next to us in the other lane. He was on his engine alot. His lane merged with ours just after the light. I showed him a few Revs. He was real happy looking thinking this was going to happen. The light turned green and he took off like a shot. We just peeled off and hung a right trun. We were laughing all the way home.
wonder if he figured he won.

haters.

here comes a bunch of typical vette owners comments

you guys give C5 owners a bad name. you DO NOT OWN THE FASTEST CAR ON THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!

are any of you guys modded?? a modded LT1 would beat your stock C5's, and a modded LS1 camaro will also have no problem...

... what is with some of you??

whoa there .. *pats on back* .. it's ok

i completely agree with you .. but hey, it's ok.

some are just on top of the world and that's fine .. let them .. they'll never understand what their car is truely capable of anyways.

btw this is why most vette owners are construed as stuck up and that we think our cars are the fastest on the planet. (which they are. )

Apparently you like speed too. It also looks like your Vette is faster than your Camaro. What fun is it to mod if you don't flex your muscles now and then. War storys go with the territory for most of use. Lighten up.

Good move not getting drawn into a street race. No sense taking a chance on something bad happening.

You know what they say about a boatowner. The two happiest days of his life... .the day he buys it and the day he sells it.

I hear ya. I was going to buy another jetski this week and with the gas prices going up, I'm not buying something that takes premium and can blow out 17 gallons in under an hour.... especially when you're on the lake for the whole day.
