MY02 VS 02-03VETTE
driving home on the palisades pkwy NB top down (windows up - getting windy/cold.. i'm a wuss), i see headligts pulling up on my FAST.. iwas like cool this could be my first real run.. as he pull closer i see its a vette.. he pull next to me.. aw shit.. my first run has to be with a brute v8 (me totally stock) he revs and smiles.. i give a nod.. right lane was kind of crowded so he pulls back behind.. i have a stretch, so i downshift to 3rd at 60 mph and stomp it to see if he really wants to play.. he thinking the same but got a late jump so i had about 3 cars on him.. so we finally get side by side with some room in front and a bunch of cars behind us.. we slow down traffic to about 30ish.. ppl start hinking us.. he gives the nod and we go.. he immediately takes about 2 cars. i was only at around 4500 rpm, so i felt like i got a sluggish start until i reached vtec.. i made good shifts up to 3rd, but by that time he had about 5 cars on me.. i'm around 95mph.. we shut down he gives me the as he exits.. i wave and am on my way.. in all, i felt good finally running something but then also felt i could have got a better jump (even though the outcome pobably would have been the same).. just makes me want some kind of FI..
outcome sound about right? or did i just to a crappy job
got womped but it's all good when you have cool drivers..
thanks for the read..

yup @4500 you are way too low. 30mph is not a good speed for the S. Next time, bring it up to around 45-50mph (in second gear) and the S will perform better. And stay away from vettes unless ur fI!

Yip, you will get pulled pretty good by newer vettes, unless you are like WisconsinS2k and happen upon a complete idiot that cant shift. Nice death though
