Last weekend, Sat Night, and just cruizin with the top off, and behind me is this a-hole in a late 90's mustang with hella loud mufflers gouging the throttle and letting off. I thought to my self "what an ***-clown", then I figured, ahh, what the hell-so I cut over into the parking lot and he pulls up along side and wants to know if I want to run. I was like HELL YEA!, that's when I notice his wing

Then mr assclown wants to know if I've got any money-I said "you're joking right?" So I said we;d go for a $100, he declined, so I said how about we go for fun then? IT WAS ON!!

On the way out to the spot, he tried to do a flyby-But I was expecting this and was already in third-waiting--walked away like he was tied.

We get to the spot and get lined up-I told him he could have the move-he made it and I instantly hole-shotted by about 1 1/2 carlinks and then by third I saw him in all 3 mirrors. Letting off and tapping the brakes to signal the end of the run, he finally catches up and does a fly-by with the obligatory middle finger held high in the air-and stays on his POS aroung the corner in the WRONG LANE!

I think to myself, "why in the hell do I keep racing these dumb-*** people like this?"


Later on, I find MR Mushtang back up town and tell him that he should be glad that we weren't racing for money- and what a dumbass I thought he was

From now on-I think i'll just do it at the track-these ricerkids are frikkin idiots. All ricers dont necessarily drive hondas.

 

youll find losers tlike that all the time. just curious as to what the stock 03 04 05 vettes run in the 1/4 mile?? not sure what year it was today when i ws behind one who kept gunning it and slowing down in a one way road. i got up close to him so when he gunned it, i did the same. he didnt pull at all through 4th w/o my nitrous. with it, i should have pulled from him based on the aforementioned. i KNOW it isnt a legit race, but was curious as to what they run. thanks and good kill!

 

Nice kill. And what did he say back when you caught up with him and told him he was a dumbass?

 

probably something to the effect of uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.

Man those ricers get so angry after they loose they just about kill themselves sometimes.

 

Hey Jim, I haven't had her at the track yet, only got a little over 5oo miles on, but the 6 speed cars are doing 12.5's to 12.8 at around 110-114, with the automatics real close (mabee 1/10 diff if that). This car feels about as strong box stock as my 98 Z did with all the mods I had done to it(vigilante 2800/100 shot nos/lid). I've got headers/lid/tuning planned for this car, just looking for low 12's to 12 flat and i'll be done. What helps these cars is their LOW WEIGHT-3100-ish and 400 hp.

Marc-in true ricer fashion-he just mean-mugged me and sped off-what can you say!

 

If you are running 13.1 n/a then you will be hanging with an 03 and 04, but an 05 will leave you w/o the nos. If you spray an 03 or 04 you should walk away if you're running 12.8.

 

good info to know- thanks. i actually think the 12.8 could be quicker if i could hook. so from a roll if i spray i should do even better i would guess against the vette. i always give thumbs up to the vettes i seea roudn ehre who like to have fun i like to race anyone, win or lose.. as long as it is safe too though! what does an 05 stock vette run in the 1/4 and what speed? faster than my 114 with juice?

thanks

 

I've only seen 1 05 run at the track and he ran 12.50's at 113-115 pretty consistantly. I never talked to him so I'm not sure what his 60's were. I agree that at 114 you probably should be quicker then 12.8.

 

Yea, that's about what we're running off the showroom floor, I like to race too-when it's safe-win or loose-I could care less.

The trick to the launch at the track is-to line her up in a patch that a pro car has laid down if you can-then you're off to 1.7-1.8 60 foot times on street tires-other wise they blow up!

 

The '06. LS7, 427CI @500HP.+ will be the ultimate Vette to have, can't wait to see one of those in action!! This machine will be the best Vette ever produced...a true keeper. I wonder what it will be capable of in the quarter mile, high 11's bone stock?? It will be really cool if looks like a '05 so no one will know whats going on under the hood...what a surprise that will be for an unsuspecting '05 encounter

 

The differences in a std C6 and the ZO6 are subtle for the unsusspecting, until the ZO6 jumps on it-then all hell breaks loose Little over 500 hp!

Got a small scoop on the front of the hood and flared fenders on the back quarters are about the only clues-they're supposed to be mid 11 sec. cars off the floor-but at $80,000- i'll just mod my std C6-and be happy

 

hell yeah, with 2 grand more for a super charger i want, i should be 11's!! until i break my stock rearend and bottom end i will see that time as an opportunity toupgrade, rather than a misfortune! wife wont though

 

Remember-it is ALWAYS better to ask for forgiveness, than to ask permission

 

VERY TRUE!!! I like it!

 

Feel free to use and pass on- young Jedi-

Hey, I just found out something I didn't know-On the C6 you must hold down the "button" for 5 seconds to turn off active handling and traction controll-I just pushed it until it said trac-control off-I could have shellaqued that POS mustang another car-lenght or 2!

My Bad-It wont happen again!!!
