Raced a friend of mine with a 00 Vette!!
Well a friend of mine has this red 00 Vette. Well I have been wanting to race him for a while. He won't race me until he got new tires well he finally did. Well when we get to our spot I look inside his car and his taking all of his interior out and the passenger seat.
Remind you I have raced Vettes before from a kick, and I have raced his from a kick. The other two I raced from a I pulled pretty good, but his pulled me immediately and I could not over power his car.
Back to the race we line up @ light on empty wide road that we race on alot. I told him we can just wait for the light to chance, and when we see green then we will hit it. We do just that reaction was about the same, and I pull out about 2 lengths right of the start. Well I keep a check on him through each gear. At the end of second he has closed a car, top of third still have one car on him the time we get to everybody I am in fourth cross in front of everbody in an empty parking lot with about 3/4 car lead. We even watched on a video camera that some guy had.
We race another time. Me and him both decide to shut down about 1 block early then we did last time. Because on the last run you come over a small hill then a red light it makes stopping real hard at over 100. Anyways we line up about the same thing, but only about 1-1/2 cars off the start. He gets up right beside me at the finish, and we leave at that.
His car has got to be the fastest stock vette that I ever raced. Anyways that car is fast, and I respect him and his car. Although I think the snake done pretty darn good. I think he just got one of those freak cars from the factory.
Later,
Jeff
