91 Formula 350 vs. 91 Corvette

coming back from the gym, I spot a steel blue Corvette, coming up on me where there is a merge, I'm doing about 35, I hear them step on it, I'm like I punch it, my tires light up a little, they got the slight jump, where door to door for about 4 seconds, when I wave and then merge. We pull up next to each other a few lights down, and I see it's an older chick drivin and say "what happened, your supposed to be faster" She I ask if that was a 91, the only year they made that color and body style, and she says yes. The light turns green, she fricken stomps on it, takes off, I stomp, tires just smoke I doubt I would have taken her from a dig if we both went the same time, because I have no traction even with new tires, but sheesh

Sounds like you ran a C4 L98. The vette should be faster than your car but if you had the head start the outcome seems about right.

Sounds like your car could use the "better driver" mod...

Seriously, good run.

that would be true if there both stock, however, see sig, mines not totally stock and actually she got the jump, trying to pass me as far as the driver equation? I really didn't think she was going to stomp on it, but as soon as I saw her take off, I stomped on it, and my tires just spun like crazy! I did catch up to her and pass her, but I couldn't tell if she was on it.

92 6spd vette? Well I'd like to run into run, and see how I do from a roll. I'm betting I could hang with one, at higher speeds it will leave me. My car feels a little faster than my 94 auto LT1 vette I just had on the street, however I know my Vette was faster on the highway.

I ran up against an Lt1 6 speed car one day in my car, I hung with it for part of first then after that it made me look stupid.

some kind of cheap japanese tires sumitomo they say. 245-50's. They are nearly brand new, and were on the car when I got it in may. I plan on getting some BFG 275 DR's and 17' Firehawk wheels later.

They're not a bad tire. They're one of the few affordable 315/35/17 street tires out there. I picked up a set of 2 275/40/17's and 2 315/35/17's for just over $450 shipped from a dealer on eBay.

hmm, didn't know that as I've never heard of them. Those 315's you have must keep you pretty planted. I wish I could say the same
