slimsoftball Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 I was on my way home this evening and lined up next to a Vette. I am pretty sure it was a 2003 but could have been a 2002. The guy gave me that look (you all know what that looks like) and I gave him the OK. I figured what better time to test my recenct Nelson performance tune. The light changed and we took off. Believe it or not I got a pretty good jump on him and got off to a bit of a lead. It was a pretty good distance between lights because it was in a desolate part of town so it was about a 0-80 race. I had him early on but as I expected he crept up on me and beat me in the end. I was pretty much right at his rear bumper, maybe a few feet behind him. Once we stopped he looked at me and said "that SS ain't stock is it?" I told him no, sure isn't. The light went green again and he said "you have a hell of a truck there, I like it." He gave me the thumbs up and we went about our way. I know my baby lost the race but I think I kept some pretty good company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrow Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Well, it's better than getting spanked by one...that's what happens to us non S/C SSers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Doesn't hurt too bad to loose to another bowtie. Something else on the other hand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m396 #00-011 Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 BTW, I would expect an AWD to get the jump, it just takes a little more to real in your SS compared to most of the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
