While my buddy Mike and I where driving around this evening we ran into a Super Charged Corvette C5. The car was yellow and obviously had a lot of work done to it. (Super charged, full exhaust, etc.) It was a really clean car and the sound that came out of the exhaust was truly amazing.
I am not usually one to street race (especially when I think I am going to lose LOL) but we both pulled off into a near deserted street. Where we both felt it was safe to race and I said what the hell.
First Race:
We go from a roll from first around 20mph. I get a 1/2 car length on him at the start (he spun a lot)......................I shift into second then I slowly start to pull on him! At the end of the race I am about a car length ahead. We then both shut it down. To be honest I thought he missed a gear or something so I didn't think much of it. As I was expecting to get killed.
Second Race:
We go from a stop (3 honks) I immediately pull a 1/2 car on him as he spins the wheels. Second gear comes and I am slowly pulling on him where he is between a car to a car and a half behind! Third gear comes and I don't pull much more on him. We both shut it down.
I am not sure how but I won both races. In fact before I raced him I was thinking how I was going to write "how I got killed" here instead. Hell I still am a little perplexed.
Out of curiosity I ask him to stop at the gas station down the street in which he does. His name was Jeff and I start to ask him about his car. He tells me he has a procharger, full exhaust, etc. I say wow what do you put down? He replied 480 RWHP.
Again I am not really sure how I pulled on him (after his wheels hooked up) but it was a nice surprise. And probably my favorite street race.
