I understand the excitment of it all and it is very tempting but, for everyones safety (and yours) it should be left to the track. This is not a lecture and I am no saint on this topic either and ....

If you would take the time to read the Corvette Forum rules, you would know what he did wrong. CF does not allow kill stories.
As far as street racing in Florida, you don’t have tell me. I just paid a $361 ticket for playing with a Mustang. I’ve learned my lesson for awhile anyway.
Save it for the track.

Wasn't a street race - merely showing the performance of both vehicles.

Good kill. I had one revving at me at an intersection and squalling his tires when he took off as I laughed.

Oh, and this is a first......IB4TL.

Well done spanking on that SRT. Can't bring a brick to a car race! I admit, on a nice day w/o traffic, it's mighty hard to pass up that sweet opportunity to crush the opponent quickly and safely.
