Sprinted next to a C4

I was behind this nice C4 (red w/ top down) at a left turn. The green arrow came and he gave it aggressive acceleration through the turn into the open road ahead and I did the same right behind him. He then drifted one lane to the right and I wanted to bait him so I jumped up next to him and looked over. As I dropped it into third, I saw the nose go up so I stomped it and we were literally right next to each other until I edged it into OD a breath under 6,000, at which point he pulled forward and my nose was at his door and then he must have shifted because I pulled right back up nose to nose and we shut down for traffic ahead. We (me and my friend in passenger seat) threw him the METAL SIGN, and he did the same! Didn't get a chance to follow him to find out if he had an L98 or LT1 or Modded vs Stock etc. Had fun tho

It looked more like the bottom Corvette. The tailights and exhaust tips are identical.

Thank you, Brian. I like what I'm hearing about this being an LT1.

Yes, exactly like that 383. Also known as the "Devil Sign"... I have been known to throw out the occasional "Thumbs Up" & "I'm Pointing At You Because We just Raced And Now We Share A Shallow Bond" sign as well.
