Lots of looks pointing exept from c5 guys they would look over and then look away real quick , play with there radio and stuff. Obviously regreting his lower hp skinnier tired version. Only had one c5 guy actually wait for my to race me, perfect place were i live this perticular street has a hill on one side and a wall on the other side and is over a half mile before any streets merge. Anyway after he finally caught up to me at the next light while i was waiting to turn , he actually stopped with a green light and said damn you got me , and he took off. i was stock at the time. Now when people look at my badges they do a double take when they see the supercharged emblem under the z06 badge, usually followed by a , holly crap or no way. Had a guy come up to me at a gas station with his girl at side and two buddies and he said 'That doesnt have a supercharger it would stick out of the hood". So i opened my hood and said "well whatever that thing is when i put it in it gave this car 640 rwhp. He obviously saw mad max too many times.
