Default ZR1 kill!

I was actually out looking for some victims this afternoon so I can't start this one off with an MMOB.

North Ave and Powis going over the hill next to diamonds eastbound I see an old Vette Zr1 sitting at the light ahead. I immediatly cut a few people off and a few honks and middle fingers later i'm next to him at the light! The guy looks over (middle aged guy) and says to me is that the SRT version? I said yes (and am thinking wow someone actually knows about this car?!).

I saw coming into it he definetly had some HUGE rear tires (not DR's) and an exhaust. I was really not sure how this race was going to go as I always heard rumors of how fast these Zr1's are even stock and this one looked like at the minimum like it had exhaust.

He starts rev'ing on the opposite yellow and boom here we go! I pull 2 Lenghts on him immediatly and then all of a sudden I hear what sounds like a blower and it's not coming from my car! I look in my side mirror and see what looks like is going to be a helluva flyby when all of a sudden i hear a grind that was so loud it seemed to have echoed under his car!

The pull had stopped and I noticed him pulling over behind me over the hill into the street sign place.

I'm fairly certain this guy fucked sumptin in his tranny up but did NOT want to go back and find out.

The mamba was saved from certain death due to mechanical failure on the vette's part!

A win is a win!
