"special" C5

exgmguy · 08-26-2001, 07:04 AM

I went out for a little crusing with my wife and did not find much worth playing with. So I am leaving the spot and a C5 convertible is pacing me. He gooses it a little and wants to play.
We slow down and I drop into 2nd gear. We both hit it and I walked away instantly. I slowed down and we stopped at the next light, no traffic ahead.

He says he missed 2nd gear(oops, happens to everyone) and wanted to go again from a slow roll off the light. He did not want to go from a dead dig because he thought I had too much tire! So we walk 1st out, stomp it and I spin like mad sliding around from 1st, right through 2nd. He pulled about 1.5 to 2 cars ahead by the time I hooked around the top of 2nd gear. I hammer 3rd and catch right up and get a car ahead before I let off at the top of 3rd.

I slow down to ask what work he has done because the car sounded pretty stock. I figured he was spraying it. Then he tells me.

"It's a 383 stroker!!" Wow, neato. :P It was a pretty strong runner, that was for sure. Then thinking about it a little later I remember racing him a year or more ago in a 3-way with a spraying WS6 T/A. I was hosing 75 then and still beat him though. Unfortunately I lost to the WS6.

Hey I'm planning on Lapeer this weekend if you want to go with let me know! They are open Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I'm gonna go test on Saturday I think. I need to find some extra hp so I'm gonna play with the tune a bit. I want to go 11.20/30's n/a this year. I may head back for Mondays race who know. And Sept 8th(I think that's the date) Ubly has a test and tune. I plan on making that toooo.

Thanks.

I will be up in the U.P. this weekend, but I can make the 8th at Ubly. Ubly is one hookin' mofo.

I think I have an 11.50 in the bag.
