I killed a new C5 Vette convertible a few weels ago. I took him by about a car from the line at a stoplight with a great launch (love those 315s). By the top of first gear, I heard him scream up and his nose was at my door. Shifted into second hard and he dropped back for a second, allowing me to merge in front of him as I ran out of lane.
He obviously would have beat me in a 1/4 mile by the way he reeled me in on top end in 1st, but I did merge ahead of him, so I'll consider it a kill.
Unfortunately, this was only his daily driver - he has a new Black SS with a Vortech and purple flame job that I've heard has 500hp.
