Default C6 VS S/C S2000

I don't post on this thread too much but I thought this was a nice run. Heading to a S2000 meet this past weekend I saw a low profile car coming towards me at a very quick pace. I usually don't race on public roads or start with anyone to race, but this one I couldn't let get away. As the blue car passed I saw it was a new C6 Vette!! I haven't gotten the chance with one of these yet! Since he was going about 110 through traffic i figured he's game. I pull in behind him at around 65 and downshift to catch up. He see's this and slows to 90. I get beside him and look over which I see he is alone and around mid 20's with a backwards hat on...O yeah he's game. The highway ahead is clear for around a mile or so, so it's on. I downshift to 4th and wait till I hear him do the same or whatever gear he used maybe 3rd (?) We take off...wind out 4th hit 5th and he is around 1 car back by the time I hit 6th I look down and I'm at 130 he is about 3 cars back at this point. I slow down due to my exit and look for his wave or thumbs up...lol not from this guy he didn't even look. I geuss he found out it was one of those honda's that bites back!

Nice kill

Nice work (and nice sig!).
But hold on...this thread won't be complete until a wise one comes in and says "just wait until he drops 6-7k in his vette, and then we'll see who wins"!

Nice way to put the hurt on. I'm hoping to be there in a few weeks.
