Smile Whats with the domestics?!?!

Well seems to me like the domestics wanna pick on me. haaha so i'm driving one day and a corvette takes the same turn i am and he floors it a lil and waits for me to catch up.. and we go from a maybe 40 roll in 2nd. by the time i was in 3rd he had already pulled like about 2-3 cars... no idea what kind of corvette
Yesturday morning while leaving my neighborhood I see a Cobra following me onto the main street. We pace each other a little in 1st and we go at it when i was at around 5000 rpms. He pulled around 2-3 cars by end of 3rd... damn domestics picking on me!

Most of the times, small I4 engine is no match for a big V8 in acceleration. So don't feel bad!

I've hung out with a few of them at meets, but never ran any of them. How does the 04 and 05 compare? Can you beat the 05s as well?

Was it a C5? Had to be a modded coupe or a stock Z06 to pull you like that, 3 cars in 2nd gear alone right?

Don't feel bad, they just jealous that they can't drop their tops.
