Thanks guys, it was a pretty interesting event. Learned later that he (and kids) were on Highway 21 (strip in BEAUFORT) picking a race with 4TH GEN Z28.

What a fool.

ID10T...... Not too smart endangering his children.
You did well scaring him off I just hope he doesn't entice a challenger. As a C5 owner I enjoy just knowing that I could beat most challenges without having to prove it.Good job.

Why would people mention "IB4TL" on this, no race occurred, I assure you of that.
They say IB4TL to increase their post count since they never have anything constructive to say! Or, and I hope so, they were jocking

Default The Big Dog

Reminds me of the time I was out walking in the neighborhood and spotted a large Rottweiler sleeping on his lawn while a little chihuahua stood there yapping at him. The big dog just laid there and kept sleeping...hilarious!

It was obvious that he had HEARD power before.
