The vette wasn't racing, he was in cruise control driving behind calmly pressing the "accelerate" button to stay on your ass, probably laughing hysterically thinking wow it's not even worth passing him, this is too much fun lol..
No seriously man, if you at WOT and he/she wanted to pass you, they would without even breaking a sweat..

Even if you take a heavy 4000lbs sedan, with a LS3 vette engine pushing 415hp (Pontiac G8 GXP) that car will annihilate any TL at highway speeds.. I mean leave you like you're standing.. V8's with their high torque have a lot of thrust at higher speed that will allow it to push hard when a V6 is running out of breath.

I'm almost certain it was the C4 from the mid 80's.

I'm also surprised so many people think every Corvette ever made has the speed of a heat seeking land missile. Guess they don't know about the "dark years". 3 and 4G TL's (even the 5AT's) will pull on pretty much any stock Vette from ~'73-'86 with ease.
This thread indeed started in the 4G section. Then it was moved here because most of the neutered adults that chimed in has no interest in having fun with their cars. hahaha

Well then it's a different story, you should have mentioned it from the get go, when you said older vette I was thinking C5, probably like most ppl here.

yep. We have all done dumb things. I'm no angel. But I have seen what can happen when you race on the street.

If you want to test the limits of your car, take it someplace where the other drivers know you are driving flat out. The chances that someone will change lanes, pull out in front of you, or perform some other panic maneuver are next to nil on the track.

Morally street racing is wrong. I won't get into the legal issues due to my lack of knowledge and strong dislike of law enforcement.

No, it was moved so that people who want to sit around comparing dick size have a place to do it in private.

I guess you proved that your dick is bigger than the dick of a C4 Corvette owner. Congratulations skippy.

time to watch the president address the nation regarding the debt crisis. I sure don't want the I interest rate on my car loan to increase if the country defaults. Hahahaha
