stingray vette goes down

Well been awhile since I've had anything bite. Not much of a race, but something. I have to start carrying my vid cam with me. I've had the car tuned up, new exhaust, valve float gone along with lowering springs.

I was driving around with a friend and this guy in a late 60's? stingray was in a parking lot laughing it up with people pointing at me as I drove by. I guess dumbass couldn't hear the blower :loser:

I noticed earlier and later in the night he's always driving by me in the 2nd lane trying to catch a light.

Well right before he leaves I catch a red, and he times the light just right it was yellow the other way and red still our way. I notice him slowing up just a bit, I launch perfect as it turns green and I let out a slight chirp I hear his engine come to life, but to late I'm gone :lol2:

I hit 40 in a 30 and slow down. Takes him 5 seconds later, then he passes in town leaving towards country roads. I decided to follow him through some corners (must've thought he could out corner me too) in short we hit a long road 25 then 35. He drives it 5 blow then I pass him in the 45 zone see if he wants to play more, nope I went 45-50 in a 55 leaving it in 4th so he could hear it.

I hit a stop sign throw some revs turn left then romp on it spinning all the way to 65-70. He went straight :( hopefully I meet him again I want more of a challenge, but I don't think he'll bring it. Sounds like he had a cam as it loped at idle, but was rather sad sounding when he gunned it in town.

Summary
Guy in stingray laughs at me
Play with him in town from a light
Follow him out of town
Tossed rev's and went, but he's a no go.

Nice, i love that fiero.. :bigthumb:

Nice kill on the Vette.

In the 60's there were so many different motor/tranny options with Vette's that there really is no way of telling what you raced.
Good kill none the less.

Rob

thanks guys, yeah I figured he had nothing special. I bet he's not so quick to laugh :D

course they were probably laughing cause of the formula sticker, little do they know :evillol:

Nice kill. My neighbor has a stingray, and I always thought it was kinda slow, but as Rob said, there were alot of different options. And of course the guy's 7 second dragster with monster blower more than makes up for whatever the vette lacks!

i dont care how fast or slow that vette is, those things are still badass no matter what

sounds like he may have more money than brains. people figure cuz they got a noticable cam its gonna own on the street, but more ofthen than not its too much cam for wuts otherwise a mild engine. i like to see those guys get beat by not-so-common cars. good job lol
