Default Fun run in with a C6 Z06!

I was on my way home and see a black Z06 go by on this three lane road. It's been drizzling rain but, the roads are still kinda dry. Well, I come up over a crest and there is the black Z06 sitting at a stop light with an empty lane next to him.

I quickly reach over and twist it into 4wd. The lane I'm in has to merge over about 1/4 mile up the road and with the way this guy was driving I KNOW he is gonna take off a bit.

So we are at the light and it finally goes green. We both rolled out some with me kinda pacing him for a bit. Finally at about 10mph or so I nailed it and let the blower start screaming.

I don't think he expected the truck to take off that hard and with his probable traction issues I stayed a half truck up until about 70-80mph. That's when I think he finally went WOT and passed on by.

It was a fun run, those C6 Z06 are bad to the bone!!!

I have really tried to get a feel for it but, it's tough. When it's in the 70's if feels like a high 13 or so.

I'm sorry, I'm with Matt on this one, weak-sauce... Better go to town on that bigboy. I want to hear Vettes are complaining there's something wrong, a big 'ol truck is leaving them in the dust!!
