Talking A little run in with a Vette

I'm on my way home from autozone and I spot a Corvette on up the road ahead of me. I'm not one to start a race, but I figured, what the hell, I've all ways wanted to see how I would hold up next to one. It was Yellow as well, so yellow truck versus yellow vette I make my way up to him and start to pull up along side. Thats when I realize it's a z06 I start to second guess myself. Can i really hang with a z06?? What the hell, I went for it. He took off on me one time when I wasnt ready so I didnt hit it. He noticed and slowed down for me. We went from a 40mph roll. He hits then I hit it. sideways I go and so does he, I'm bouncing off the damn rev limiter trying to keep this heap in a straight line. Managed to stay beside him though. We didnt go very long at all though, too much traffic. He rolled down his window and i pulled up next to him. He was a cool guy, gave me props and I headed back home. It was alot of fun
