Going to work yesterday,came to a light and there was a beautiful black corvette looked like 2004 or 2003.No not a ZO6.I looked over at him and gave him a friendly smile and nice car kinda knod,and he just had a smirk and looked away.At that point I knew it was on!!!!! The light turned green and i just rolled on it threw first and second just enough to stay even with him with out getting wheel spin,I was somewere between 4 and 5000 rpms and I saw his car lift and pull about a fat bumper and i had 2 choices plant the throttle and probably light the tires up or short shift into 3rd,I decided to short shift into 3rd.I left him like he was standing still.When I hit 3rd I had just a little wiggle and just leaped foward and pulled away by 3 or four car lengths all I could hear was my supercharger screaming ,got to about 5 car lengths or so and he got out of it.What a sweet victory.When I Got to my freeway on ramp a car that watched from behind caught up said nice race I cant beleive that stock vette wanted to race a cobra,I simply stated ya me either but im sure he wont anymore "This post is just for entertainment purposes only".I do not recommend street racing.

that is way cool, keep up the good work, but for giving the C5 ported heads and a cam, the race was then not some other time, and give the cobra ported heads and a cam and sorry, but the vett can take a hike.

Ohh its on now, flame war is about to commence

So that you know, that vette is still N/A and stock short block and has nearly 500rwhp, bore/strock that block to 427/441 and throw some nitrous on it, or, just "boost" it and either way it'll run low 9"s high 8's.

Now bring it, but beware Jerry's been teaching me some Mexican "Judo".
