I was heading back from my shop to my house and one of the last traffic lights was about to turn red, so on yellow I gassed it to make it. Well, with that being said, a bike (in the oncoming lane) noticed that my car was a C6 Z06 and just caught me blasting it thru a light, therefore he figured he'd follow me. We were weaving in and out of cars. I have exhaust actuators so it sounded stock when he was behind me. (they open up automatically at 3,500 if they are set to closed from the remote, otherwise they are open full time).
So, the good part...right when the 3 mile stretch came up it was a straight shot with no one in front of us for the entire way, he when to pass me. As soon as he came around me, I downshifted and took off. He had a good car or 2 jump on me after I was fully in it but by 5th gear in my car, he was maybe a bus-length ahead of me.
We pulled over and he asked, "is that a ZR1??" and I explained to him that it was a Z06 with a cam, headers, air intake, and tune. I then disconnected the NPP exhaust module kit thats controlled by the remote, so the exhaust actuators opened up and the cam was hitting hard just so he could see. He was impressed to say the least and kept telling me that he couldn't believe how I was right on his ass up top. He told me that he would have never expected that so I asked him to run again and he agreed. So we went back to that 3 mile stretch and once there were NO cars in front of us (5 lane road with absolutely nothing on each side other than a corn field) and lined them up. A friend of mine was calling me, I told her to pull on the side of the road and just record...she knew what to do.
Beeped three times and we hit it off at about 35mph, just because I'd spin out in first too bad. This video clip below is the outcome of the run. Its not long but we sure were moving. This is a Honda cbr1000rr against my cam'd out C6 Z06 on Nitto Invo 345/30/19 street tires. Enjoy! :rockon:
