Default Short race with a Corvetter

No idea what year but it was the newer body style, convertible, and no LS badges. So probably a stock V8. A couple miles of gentle alternate passing in traffic, then suddenly found ourselves at a blinking red light with room in front. I took off slowly, then heard his engine roar as he gunned it. I stomped it to the floor, chirped the tires, and never saw him appear on my left side until I had to let off around 70. He waved, as did I, as he passed. Not sure if that qualifies as a kill, but it's the only "race" I have ever had with my stock SRT6.

Hey Mike1118,

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your CF hood from?? $$?? I am looking into getting one. Any info would be great. Thanks.

As for races, I haven't really raced anyone since buying the car 4 months ago. The '10 - '11 Sonata a couple weeks ago doesn't count. I changed the name of that car to "Slo-nata."

i've had many and all kinds speed up to get a look at what "model" it is or even what it is. no races, no nothing. i'll sometimes gun it to show what's under the hood, but that's just for fun.

STREET KILLS
2-BMW M3 (coupe, vert)
Neon SRT-4 (don't know why?)
350Z (modded, poor fella didn't have a clue what happened)

She doesn't come out to play often, but that might change soon.

Cant say my N/A has any street kills, 'cept for the three Mustangs I left behind last weekend on Blood mountain. Oh, it was fun to run with them in the curves, but when the curves got tight, they disappeared in my mirror.

One TRIED to keep up, but that only lasted up till I got to the second tight curve... Sometimes, all the HP in the world won't save you when your car just isn't built for the twistys.

I should edit that video down and post it on YT (too bad the camera was looking FORWARD, should have had it looking backward, the viewing would be way more fun to watch.
