TL Auto vs. TL Manual vs. The Beast

It was Sunday night, I was coming off of a high from watching Villanova beat Arizona at the Wachovia Center. Both games were fun to watch. I was coming home on route 202 near west chester, last light before the road becomes a highway again. I was in the right lane. I accelerated pretty quickly but the guy in left lane was pulling away from me, so I put the hammer down by this time he was a ½ car ahead of me, then I realized it was another TL, but it must have been manual because he had a good shift into 2nd gear. I gained a ¼ car length back by the time we were up to 90 mph and then the TL manual had backed off. I continued to accelerate. What I didn’t realize there was another car behind the manual TL. The Beast moved into my lane and then switched back into the left and passed me like I was hitchhiker on the side of the road. It was a brand a new red Corvette Z06. He passed me at 110 mph like I was driving 55mph. Needless to say it was very very impressive, the power of the Vette.

Hello,

I actually ordered a wood kit from exoticwooddash.com. I ordered the basic wood dash kit. I elected not the full kit, because I didn't care for the wood pieces around A/C vents.
