Played with an old Nova and new c5

The nova comes roaring by and looks at me like he's the king of the world. Next light, I let the people in front of me go a little and kept it in second (auto). Juiced it a little at about 3 grand and the car flat out gets up and the look on the guy's face at the next light was priceless :-). The vette didn't wanna have any fun. I understand though...If I spent 50 grand on a car only to lose to a 18 year old with under 10 in his car (including initial purchase), I wouldn't wanna race either ;-). Maybe my car was too loud and he couldn't hear his talk radio .

you can literally break down vette owners in 4 catagories

%40 dont race period.. they have no reason to, dont want to, they just like the vette.

%40 wont race f-body's mustangs etc because they ARE better than you.. so they wont waste their gas

%5 Think they are bad *** and race anyone and then get PISSED if you beat them.

%5 Really cool car guys, most of these guy's will actually talk to you and are interested in cars other than theirs..

I THINK Dave forgot to mention that the other 10% usually hit a pedastrian or another car while racing, hence cancelleling the whole DEEL out! Dave assumes you know this by reading the papers!

I'd say that the first number should be more like 30% and the second more like 60%
