rough running

Last night I went out with some buddys in a vette and so we were driving around aggressively and having some fun. long story short after all of this my car is running like absolute crap today. It has a really really rough idle, but when you get into gear and actually start driving it is not bad. This has happened before after really getting on it and it usually goes away by itself. Any ideas?

Could be a number of things. Dying opti, wires, fuel filter, etc. Start with the two cheapest things. Fuel filter and the coil to opti spark plug wire.
