I ran into a nice maroon colored 89 C4 'Vette on the Blvd today with a healthy sounding aftermarket exhasut. There was also a 350Z in the same pack of traffic. I was not driving aggressively at all(nor was the 350Z, he was actually snailing along), but it ended up that the 350Z and i ended up side by side at a red light with the vette directly behind me.

The light turned green and i lazily accelerated away from the light with one eye in the mirror and the other on the 350Z to my left. The 350Z accelerated even more slowly from the light from me, so i knew he was not interested(wise choice), but the vette was RIGHT ON MY ASS and i could hear his motor as he held the car in a low gear for instant acceleration on demand.

So i hit my kickdown switch at about 20mph, the trans clicked instantly into first, the revs bounced right to the 2600rpm stall speed, and i NAILED it.

I walked him steadily up to 100mph and let off/tapped my brakes, about 2 1/2 lengths ahead of him(i had my 125lb GF as a passenger, he was flying solo). He must've felt he got a fair run because at the next light he was more interested in chatting about the Shark than he was at a second go at glory, lol. :)
