nice kill, but I'm guessing he let off once on the highway....I don't see you "accelerating away" unless he did, when the RWHP is about the same and the weight difference doen't help much at all above 70 mph or so....it's all hp and aerodynamics at that point (plus the C6 is fairly light to begin with)

NICE, i hate corvette owners, they think they have such a special car... especially the new C6. it's just a chevy. I drove on and also an 04 GTO, i'd take the GTO anyday. I drive a Silverado that's nice but the attitude of the corvette drivers at autocrosses sucks 9 out of 10 times.

2 FC verts - '91 and an '88 turbo. (want to buy one, I only need one Vert.)

it is pretty light, but that is about 500 pounds heavier than most modded (catless) FDs. Mine weighed in at 2650 with a quarter tank of gas.

I am not contesting the fact that you were thirsty, I couldn't care less. I do not drive slow by any means; however, I do keep both hands on the wheel.

On the other hand, if you are going to be an *******, please continue driving with one hand, actually dont use any hands, I heard it improves handling.
It's his car, he paid for it, he drives it and he maintains it. It's none of your business to tell him what he should or shouldn't do. He could put it on its roof if he wants to do so. It's his car.

****** like this this make me wanna put green racing stripes to contrast my VR car, just to see them go berserk.

People wouldn't hate on corvette so much if it wasn't abused as THE mid-life crisis car to have. FYI, you do know that they're both GM, right? Same powerplant?

I totally agree, it's his car and he can drive it anyway he wants to. Everyone should understand, driving 100+mph and drinking something is just plain *** stupid. They're still other drivers out on the road and while drinking and not concentrating on the road can cause a huge stupid accident.
I street race all the time, but at least I try to be safe about it!!! Also, the story sounds kinda made up, I think! James

I wouldnt be so quick to hate on corvettes. the new c6 is an amazing car to say the least.
and to say you would take a 04 gto over an 05 c6 is just plain crazy

Nice kill man, but no offense, I'm just wondering how long it's gonna be before your car gets wrecked. What would have happened if you had hit a hard bump or something??
