View Full Version : Fun with a C5 Vette...

I am driving home this afternoon from Marianne's house in my Marauder and I turn off at my exit.
As I come around the ramp and approach the overpass I decide to hammer it to hear the Magnaflows howl while I go under the highway. ( I know, I'm a childish redneck...)
There is a black C5 Vette slightly behind me on the road that I've merged on to and he got a 'full dose' of my DOHC at 6200 rpm...
He follows me up to the next light and pulls up next to me in the right hand lane.
He has a big non-OEM hood bulge and is inching up while we wait for the green....
It's ON!
I know that my traction-lok is toast so I'll have to be gentle on the launch..
Green light and he ignites his tires...I walk it out then punch it and get a full car length on him...
Once he hooks up, he gains back a half car length, but then I hold him as I wind up through second gear.
Red light ahead, so we both quickly slow down for the light. I'm turning left at the light, so he pulls up next to me and rolls down his window.
I roll down my passenger's window and he says: "Man that thing is BAD!!!"
I reply: "Yep not too bad for a four door!"
Left turn signal turns green and I give him another dose of the Magnaflows as I turn.... :D

Joe, bring the Marauder out to Mason Dixon Saturday and have your fill of C-5 's on a stick.
