C5 goes down on I-95

12-01-2001, 10:33 PM

On my way back home last night, while heading north on 95, a red C5 (non-Z06) pulls just past me in the far left lane, then pauses, and drops back even with me. I figured it was on, and just as I hit it, he did as well, I pulled at least a full truck length on him from that 75MPHish roll, then let off at 110 and he flew by me and diappeared ahead of me. That is my first real kill! He must have been surprised!

Good job! Some people just cant imagine an LS1 powered car losing to a truck. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!! Go hunt down another one.

Are you modded Ryan? Good kill. Stock, new f-body's and vette's will pull on us at those speeds due to aerodynamics. Then again, most of us aren't stock anymore

Adam, I don't have any performance mods. I don't know, maybe I jumped him early or something. He was definitely on it though...then again maybe my truck is just an absolute badass, that could be.

SE-R, maybe he was pissed because I jumped him early, don't know. Even still, I'd be mad if I couldn't catch up with a pickup truck in my vette.

If I did leave early, is wasn't THAT early, I'm just fast as all hell, that's all.

ALL THE TIME HUH?
lol

I doubt he knew you were racing.... LS1`s excell up top and the aerodinamics of the L don`t help.

On the highway I kill my buddy with a stock L .. time after time.. and a Vett is much lighter than my FAT Trans Am.

Good kill. Yes, the vette probably should have won (he may have not down shifted or something???) but take em how you can get em. I can't even hardly find any vetts with the nads to run me. Wussies. (You can always tell which ones drive vetts because they have small weiners!!! LOL). I beat vetts all the time dan97 ws-6. It only takes a chip, filter and maby a pulley to beat a vette (non z06 of course). Ive yet to line up with a zo6 though.

Whatever, it was cool that he would respect my Lightning enough to run me at least.

It would break your heart to witness all the LT1-LS1s I kill at the track. Even the one juiced Fireturd that beat me, wouldnt win now that Im on the bottle.
Whos fault is it they cant hook up?? Not mine!
You probably dont believe it, but I really do like the WS-6. I almost bought one.
