Default Raced a 1995 Corvette last night.

I was on my way home from work last night, going down Bel Air RD in Whitemarsh ( 95 N was backed up) and I passed a Vette.
we both ended up at the traffic light side by side. I was saying to myself ---well are we going to go or what?? Well sure enough both of us didn't move when the light turned green and then I tacked to 8000 rpm--man we were flying--he got just a tad in front (sisde by side) but as we all know the higher you tach the more the car wants to move Any way I was hanging w/ him w/ no problem and then I passed him. Then only thing I can figure is he must have let off because I know I was over 100mph!
I think he was actually surprised to how fast the "Honda" is The car hung w/ the vette w/ no problem--if I had the Super charger --man he would have been toast! I don't like to race whole alot--given you can really F**k up your driving privaliges, but man, it was nice to race a real sportscar! Just thought I'd share this!

Doesn't this thread belong in the street encounters forum?

Nonetheless it's still a good kill (or close to a kill)

hmm, so he didn't see the light change and you go spinning off at 8000 RPM's? Its not a fair race unless you get the eye contact and a thumbs up...

Actually he had a head start, I hesitated because I didn't know he wanted to race. Besides, it was all for fun not the Fast and Furious shit!
