LS1 Z28--Nowhere to hide!!!

[exgmguy]

This is good. I just bought a house and have kept my car dormant in the garage, tweakin' and tunin'. There are a few car guys on my street, and one red Z28 in particular that likes to rev his motor up while driving by.

So I take my car out for a ride yesterday after work and who is driving by as I am backing out of my driveway? Mr. Z28, revving his welded in Flowmaster to the moon. I follow him out of the subdivision and through traffic. He is weaving in and out of traffic a lot and I get stuck at a light while he goes through it.

He gets stuck at the light a block ahead as I wait for what seemed to be an eternity for my light to change. It goes green and I take off after him. I pull up to the light right next to him. Sitting duck!!!

Now he lurches his car forward a couple times and starts creeping as the opposing light goes yellow. He jumps the light early and I go a car or so after him, Perfoming a nice ET Street launch. By the 1-2 shift it seems as I was catipulted next to him, and I kept pulling like crazy. By the middle of 3rd I could actually see him behind me in my rear view!!!
By this time there seemed to be a football field between us, so I coasted back to the speed limit where of course, he would not drive next to me in traffic. I wonder if while I am out wrenching he will throw another rev as he drives by???!!!!
