Arrow raced a previous model corvette

I really want ur opinion on this encounter. I was on my way home from work and i saw a hot ass corvette sprinting down the road so i decided to be part of the action and the greatest thing happened, there was a red light and we were all alone. I had my top down and when i finally got next to him, at the light i put my windows up and he knew what i wanted to do so, he gives me this cocky "OK" light turns green and neither of us moved, so we did a slow roll off 1st gear and we went for it, and we were dead even at 1st then when i shifted to second i put him on my back bumper, shifted to 3rd he started to level up to me and towards the end of 3rd and the beginnig of 4th he put like 3/4 of a car on me and we shut down. I was expecting to be blown away. then i look at the guy and he gave me a ok guys was i expecting too much out of that vette or is he that bad of a driver i had to call my friends on the spot and ask them, but they werent sure what was supposed to happen. luckily i have u experts to help me out.

I can beat c4's no problem but c5's are a different story. C6 whomping requires boost.

c5 defenitely would require boost.

I raced a new vette and wasn't even close. I murdered the damn thing quite a few times. I am running 12 and something psi at the manifold just to give an idea.

But C6 vs stock S is murder for the S

Could've possibly been me on 112 route going towards Patchogue. But I don't recall seeing a TSX though. But congrats on the win against the civic. But be careful if you see a silver hatch. He is a quick turbo civic.
