1st gen vs. c6 z51 corvette

well after searching for a couple of months I finally found a race with a c6 z51. I was coming home after watching a autox where the vett was racing at, when I saw two c6's comming up from behind. So we start messing around alittle bit through some hills, when we came to a strait away with a perfect red light. We start off slow untill we hit about 20 (so we could get traction) and then we both hit it, I was spinning for the most part so he pulled ahead about 4 feet then i shifted in too 3rd and gained back the 4 feet. At that point we where going about 85 and I had to shift into 4th and thats when I commenced to woop his ***, pulling more than a car length on him. But heres the funny part, he has actually modded his car, and I was only running low boost (10-11 lbs).

Its been a good day.

C6's are sweet, but im betting he's feelin pretty crappy for getting beat by a car that even if u included the mods, would be about 1/12th its price

Here goes with prices again, who cares. I'm sure even if he got beat, he would rather have that C6 in the garage than RX7. I got beat by a stripped down FI'ed VW track car, so what? Car prices never even entered my mind, faster car won, no big deal, I'll still be driving my car and enjoying the hell out of it.

I doubt it, considering his car is brand new and the FB is over twenty years old.
