Kick azz in the turns? Not even.
Anyone who could afford to live in Santa Barbara can buy any car they want.
Good story, good choice on the ultimate C-4.

Puh! There are a lot of Porsches that handle better in the turns than a Corvette.

[QUOTE]ya you heard me correct Black on Black 1990, but thats not the point of this story,

I'm cruizin on my lunch break today in Santa Barbara with the top off and some Jimi Hendrix playin. The sun is shining, I got my nike visor on :cool: and it's about 65-70deg out...nice.

This Porka Carrera weaves in and out of street traffic and finally catches up to me as I'm rolling to a stop at a light. He blurps his engine.... guess he wants to play. I looked at him smiled and gave him the warning.. :nono: His girlfriend is riding shotty and she seems excited. The Porka still had the Thousand Oaks Auto Mall stickers on it.

Well I guess he missed the sight of the 315's and the ZR1 tag cause he tried anyway :lol: .
I dumped the clutch in first at about 2500 :steering: and squirted past him faster than an oily string from a cat's @s$. To my delight I see the smile on his girl's face is gone and he has the bitter beer face on! :skep:

After a quick tap on the breaks I give the out of the roof wave and engage the go-pedal again...:steering:....


I love my ZR1 :yesnod: :yesnod: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :yesnod: :yesnod: :lolg:


I was going to a car show recently and I was running only on 8 injectors since I was having some alternator issues. Even though the beast only runs on 16 injectors under certain conditions, I still felt it was better to run on only 8 so that I could make it to the show without getting stranded on the side of the road.

I had an early model mustang cobra probably a 99 with a chick in it.

She kept antagonizing me and she had a real loud exhaust on it. I was playing along with her for awhile and then I got tired of hearing her obnoxius exhaust.

I was close to my destination so I flipped the power key on and hammered it and she disappered quickly, she pulled up to me and the expression on her face was priceless -- she didnt know what happened -- she probably thought I sprayed it with Nitrous.
