So on the way to work today my buddy is behind a Z06. Now mind you He's in an Evo 9 with some upgrades but its not as fast as he thinks it is. I have and 03 Termi and i kill him once I and deep into second and up. But anyways, He's one of those import this and import that all day, muscle cars are slow blah blah blah.
Well we follow this Z06 and hes trash talking it about how its over rated, He'd never own one and he's been wanting to run one but they are too scared to run him. I think its bc they dont want to waste fuel on his car. Well as the stars aligned, what do you know, we end up at a red light next to him with an open road. So being the good friend I am and lover of American Muscle Cars, I shout over to the guy that my buddy thinks your Z06 is over rated and no one ever wants to race him. The gentleman in the Z06 kindly excepts the challenge with a smile.
The Evo builds up boost while waiting for the light to change, It goes green and we're off. We jump out ahead for maybe first gear, once the Evo hit second all i could hear was the sweet sound of that Vette. My buddy proceeded to pound the gears and the Vette kept pulling and puling.
The Vette shuts down (hitting the brakes) and my friend does the typical fly by. We get door to door again and I throw a thumbs up. The Z06 said nice dig to my friend and took off, giving us a little show as he left.
I figured right there he'd have some respect for that car. Man was I WORNG!!! He came up with every excuse in the book. 'He's not stock" "I over boosted my motor" "I think my clutch was slipping"
I finally politely told him, No buddy you just got your ass handed to you. I'm not against the ricers, some of them are pretty fast and are sleepers but i hate the whole talk of import import import all the damn time!
I guess I just had to vent a little and share my lame loss. hahaha
