went out for a cruise with some people and someone showed up with daddy's car. It was a 2000 5.7L auto 'Vette, intake and exhaust as far as i know. Nice looking car. I didn't think i really had a chance against him till we got to the first light he pulled up next to me.

We both inched forward while slowly i was building boost via half assing the clutch, finally i just let off and he hit it to just about the same time. He pulled a tiny bit in first then boost came in all the way. I inched on him in third and then missed 4th :3d_frown: . We didn't a couple more mini runs after that and at most my hood was at his door. My boost was only at around 11-12PSI.

EDIT: 'Vette had full headers and exhaust, K&N intake, ECU flash, and ECU controller. :) so i did better than i thought :evil2: , we all know how those engines love those kind of bolt ons (or easy add ons for ECU)

his ego must be crushed

surprisingly he was quite encouraging saying how i could definately take him if i notch the boost up a bit, a tune wouldn't hurt though. i know him and the fact it was his dad's car he didn't really take it personally like other people would.
