05 Srt-4 vs. 05 C-6 vette

[Drifty]

Ladies and gentlemen of AF.com... I officially name myself The Luckiest Dude on the Planet!!! (or just on AF.com)

It all started Like this :

I was on my way to the auto show on miami beach when i started noticing the closer i got to the show the more sports cars I saw.. that night i saw 2 Impreza sti's one of them was a imported 22B 2-door model RHD and i caught up to him and tried to take a pic on my phone but the dude took off before i got the phone ready. anyways so i had a blast at the show i saw the new Z06 in person along with the new Shelby GT and jeep brought some concept car called the Hurricane that look like the Warthog assault jeep from HALO. and a Crap load of other awesome cars.

So as me and my Buddy decide to leave finally around 11:00 pm and we're back on the highway. when i see an orange c-6 vette with paper plates still on it. the guy almost missed the division on the highway and cut about 3 lanes over and jumped in front of me.so he punches it while im still shocked thathe cut 3 lanes just like that without even hesitating


I see he slows down to normal speed, and i punch it and catch up to him and get next to him, he looks and taps the accelerator to allow the car to hop. i look back and let the BOV tell him Im Game. so I make sure that my gloves are on tight.. (I hate Racing with sweaty palms) and we take it from 40mph.... 3honks... 3...2...1... BOOM!

he takes off putting a 2 car lead on me and my foot is the floor board and im trailing him and as we went on we had to zig zag a bit in traffic and the highway we are on banks on certain areas so im maximizing on the banked areas and losing the gap and my speedo is at 85mph hes tapping the brake to cut in front of this chevy van. thats when i closed the gap.(what i don under stand was if the section we were on has 5 lanes Why he decided to cut the van off if his lane was empty) when he cuts the van off he starts to shake his head like he and owned me then he looks to the right of him and hears my BOV once more and he notice that im now edging my way in front. and when he realized it i was already 1/2 a car ahead. so he slams on the gas once more and we continue and my Buddy yells to me:

Buddy: Yo He's yelling out WTF!... He let go of the steering wheel!...He's flicking us OFF!! he's letting off the gas.. HE GAVE UP!! WTF!!!!

I look down at my speedo and it read 135 mph and i slap on the hazzards and he does the same i start to slow down back to reasonable speeds and he starts to pick up mad speed so i stick my hand out and give him the Thumbs up and he responds with a Ricer flyby..

Me ans my Buddy look at each other and started to laugh Hysterically in joy that we were able to keep up pass and make the vette driver submit.
in to 2 cars....

As i told everyone else at work That was Sheer LUCK AND A HORRIBLE DRIVER!!!

Cliff notes:
Saw a Imported impreza......had fun at the Auto show... And barely beat a vette

You actually wear gloves when you race? Does it allow for better grip on the shifter and therefore cut your 1/4 mile time by a few tenths?

I dunno I just hate having sweaty palms

[GForce957]

Yeah i saw those cars at the the last auto show here, pretty cool.

Racing gloves eh? Thats pretty hilarious. Just like Nick Cannon

so what do you have done to your srt4?

[Ace$nyper]

I was impressed and enjoyed it but you lost all your creditbly and coolness from hazards.

But he did it too i'll say you both have to retake the class next semster.

No really other then that it was awesome and one of the better written stories i've seen here.

Interested as well.

You just ran down a solid 12 second car. Congrats!

[drftk1d]

im guessing he cant drive for shiznit

[2000LS1Z28]

I dunno. This sounds like the type of race I had with the Evo, against some hoser in an older Integra. I blew him away on the freeway, and let off, and he did the same thing you describe, a ricer fly by, and not accepting defeat. That is how I am interpreting your story, but maybe it is just the way it reads.

I second that....nice kill bud

[Drifty]

Just the Mopar BOV Fellas... aside form that stock. so I blame The fact That the C-6 Driver must have REALLY SUCKED and GOD gave My car one Heck of a BOOST in speed because I know there is NO F*cking way I could have done that against even a average driver or a poor driver.. But THAT GUY must have SUCKED really badly

yeah He must have suck Badly because I raced A c-5 a long time ago and the c-5 guy gave me a head start and all and he was gonna make chop suey out of my ass until he almost hit a car. theres another thread about this story

[Drifty]

here the link from the other thread of the c-5 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=391215

Nice kill but he really must have had some issues, no offence your car is fast, but the C6 is pretty out of your league

I mean his car can compensate for alot of driver errors, while in this case your car couldn't

[Drifty]

i agree with u mason

[camaroincal]

lol, so you think you beat the Vette cus he had to slow down to avoid innocent people on the highway...idiot... His car is a 12.XX car...your car is a 14.XX...
