. So we leave the light slow and then he gets it down and like a fool so do i

.All i know that i jumped ahead on the kick down and then i heard a supercharger singing in my hear .Bye Bye 9T8Vette

Humility's a beotch ain't it!?

Welcome to the world of the COBRA.

A lot of vette owners make that mistake, don't feel bad. It's a learning curve

Yeah, forced induction does make a difference........

Just be glad a cop didn't observe the incident or you would be in a world of legal hurt right now.

Just for the record, I don't mind people posting such accounts on this site, but it is not condoned nor encouraged that anyone engage in such competitions on public roadways. It is dangerous (both physically and legally) and foolhardy. But people are people and will often do things that are short term enjoyable but possibly long term detrimental. Just be certain that you know and understand the risks and are prepared for the potential consequences afterwards.
