Fastest car ive ever raced... or seen for that matter.

I was rolling down I-205 at like 2am Sunday night, doing about 100. There wasnt a car in sight. I was crusing at 100 for about 10 minutes with very little traffic. Behind me, i see some headlights in the distance, i assumed it was a car that had just gotten onto the freeway. Suprisingly, they kept getting closer and closer. After about a minute or so, he's right behind me. I can't tell what kind of car it is yet, but it has pop-up headlights, so I'm assuming a trans am. He pulls up besides me, and i'm stoked to see that it's a fellow C4 vette. It was a hispanic in his mid fourties i would say. I wave to him, like i do every other vette on i see on the road, and he waves back. We're both cruising at 100 mph side by side still, and i downshift 2 gears, and give it a little gas, he matches me, and we both floor it. I heard this loud ass whine as he passed me, but he was instantly WAY ahead of me.

I went to about 130, but i was never going to catch this guy. He slowed down, and i caught up to him about a mile later, right before the I-5 jct. On the back of his car, i see the ZR-1 badge. I was in shock. ZR-1s are so rare, and to see a supercharged one... I nearly had a heart attack. I'm not sure, but i think an s/c'd LT-5 has to be putting close to 500 to the wheels, doesnt it? And i don't even know if he had any other mods or not.

I envy you for seeing that car. That'd be like spotting Jesus around these parts.

That car is nice as hell. I'd kill the owner for it.

One hell of a car. Nice pics aswell.

A similar thing happened to me, I was cruising a highway at 100-110 and saw some sort of Mercedes blow past me, going atleast 40mph faster. Only reason I could tell what it was is because he cut in front of me and I got a straight on look at his bumper.

the ZR-1 wide body was the first GM car to outsprint the GN. They are beautiful cars.

Rarest car I've ever seen was a Ferrari F40 on the highway on my last vacation. FAST! I was going about a buck 10 in the FC and it just flew past me like I wasn't even there. I promptly shit my pants after that incident.

I would kill my own mother for that car.

Not really, but still, that car = pure sex.

They are a very nice car. My mom's friend owns one and I had some of my senior pictures taken with one. With that I can say I have the coolest pictures of anybody in my class because of that. I've even had the pleasure of riding in it too.

Re: Fastest car ive ever raced... or seen for that matter.

I have read that they are like suicide on wheels. Just when you think you know what you are doing, the car lets you know otherwise.

Speaking of suicide there is or was a ZR-1 for sale here at a high end car lot. The car had it cylinders bored, and was claiming somewhere in the neighborhood of 500hp I believe. It was parked right next to a 427 Mallet vette on the lot
