My First Race =)
Had the car for what .. . two weeks haha.
It wasnt really a real race I just happend to be next to one of those real super UGLY new chevy trucks w/ the ls6 motor. Well It was bright yellow with super huge aftermarket rims and to my suprize it was a young chick driving it. God that car is ugly...well anyhow light turned green and I started off as normal till I heard her enigne rev up so i gunned it too, man by second gear I was already ahead by car length and half and gaining she gave up soon after....with a smile and a waver.
( sorry I know.. no street racing but I just couldn't resist come one it was a girl too!)
I am just curious since that truck has 400 hp shouldnt it be alot faster .... I don't know i spaked her so easy w/ track cntrl on since I didn't know she wanted to race lol.

You posted your kill story in the General section where all the old farts hang out. Thats why they want it locked, their pace makers get too excited when someone talks about speed. I just raced one of the new Dodge Truck V10's, they have 500 hp. I beat him but not by much. Keep using your Vette like it was meant to be used. I'm old but at least my Vette gets used and is not a waste of machinery.
