K04R Sedan vs 03 C5Z
Had some fun runs with an 03 C5 Z06 last night. We ran a few times on the freeway and then another from 40.
He paced behind me for a little bit and initially tried for a fly-by. Now I typically cruise in 4th on the highway because I'm a ricer and enjoy the turbo noises. I was sitting around 75-80, watching in the rear view trying to figure out what was pacing me. I watched his lights come up a bit and knew what was going on. I literally said to myself "NOT TODAY". He was unable to come around me and I actually put some distance between us. It definitely got his attention too
Initially, I thought it was an FD RX7 because of the front end profile but it was too dark to tell. We did this a couple more times until it was WAY clear and the results are as follows -
1st run - 60-125 - No honks, he just took the hit but I was in 3rd and waiting. He got a decent jump but I stopped his pull, came around him and wound up pulling about a car.
2nd go-round, 60-140 - I told him on 3, honked it off and I had a nice steady pull from the hit. Ran 3rd out with a solid car and a half on him, NLS into 4th and pull another car or so by the time I hit the rev limiter. One of those races where you keep looking back, hoping you maintain your pull/lead
3rd and final race - 40-100 - We exchanged pleasantries and mods prior to the run. Come to find out, he's a customer of a friends performance shop. So he honks this time and I spin through 2nd a bit but stay door to door with him, pull 3rd (no NLS, 2-3 is sketchy) and start to put distance between us again before we had to slow for a light. Unsure of the distance put between us on this race but it was fun.
His mods - Long tubes, no cats, CAI and tune
Mine are in my sig. Also, wanted to mention that I absolutely love the ZZP IC. The stocker would be absolutely worthless during a 3-4 pull and IATs would climb by 30* or so, a little in 3rd and quite a bit in 4th. During my multiple races last night, my IATs only climbed around 9* and only through 4th gear. That's bad ass

Nice. I had a roll with what I'm assuming was a stock C5Z. He tried to pull away from me coming off the on ramp. I didn't catch him, but he didn't really pull me much either. This was probably from about 45-120. I really thought they were quicker than that, I guess not.
