vette z06
about a week ago i ran into a z06 vette on the highway, i've seen a few of these around town but haven't had the chance to test them out. he was driving pretty fast so i decided to follow, i followed him onto an exit and we ended up at a four-way 3 lane road. i look over at the driver (mid 40's) and nodded. after nodding back to me, i raised the boost to 15lbs and focused on the light. *green* we both take off and he instantly has 1 carlength on me, by the end of 1st gear my front bumper was at his door, shifting into sec. he's back to one car ahead of me. we stayed like this until midway through 4th, and by now, im back up to his door.....he stops first then i responded realizing any faster would be hectic. it wasn't one of my best days, but needless to say, i was very impressed with his car and he felt the same about mine. this thing is a beast allmotor, i can't even imagine it's capabilities with forced induction. but what surprised me was how his car pulled harder at mid-high rpm........very impressive.....

Nice run! Must have been very exciting!
Why did you turn the boost up to only 15psi? The car can put down more than 22psi stock...  |

Classic East - West Battle
Sounds like a really good fight. Although the Vette is a classic American icon of western automotive history, the Z06 is the first PRODUCTION corvette to truly impress me. Good Job Chevy
