Actually, he wiped the floor with me, but nobody wants to read a story about a maxima get beat...

My brother was visiting me for the first time in a year, and I was showing off the Max. I was at a light and this 2001 Corvette pulled up next to me. It was late, we looked at each other and grinned.

When it went green (me fully expecting to become his *****) we both set off. I was level with him until we got to 30, then he just pulled and pulled and pulled. I hit 60 and he was 20 cars ahead. Being a sportsman, I signalled my defeat by turning my headlights off for a second.

It was all light-hearted and it was an interesting change from continually thrashing cars that underestimate the '96 5spd Max...

I need another 100hp.

 

You actually met a corvette driver who wanted to race? Wow. The Vettes I see are always crusing.

I wouldnt have expected the guy in the vette to even bother.

alot of Vette drivers are older so they only wana race if they know they will win
I was in my friends S2000 and we saw a Corvette and wanted to race... but the guy wouldnt.. thent he next day we were in my friends Integra sitting on 15 stocks complete with hubcaps and the same guy showed up and he was willing to race...

 

After spending 40 - 50 grand they dont wanna look bad.

Actually I think MOST of them don't race becuase they are usually middle aged matured people who know better?

 

yeah right, a old man in a corvette almost crash into me in heavy traffic goign in & out.

 

yea I've had that happen... some old dude in a nice car thinks I'm trying to race cuz I pass him... *sigh* i mean dooood even I'm not stupid enough to race a Ferrari F550... The guy weaves in and out of traffic, nearly causes a few accidents-then slows down... then I pass him again... need I repeat?

 

I've raced two older 'vettes. One was a mid-70s 'vette. It was an old guy and we did a rolling start. I redlined every gear and could not pull on him and neither could he. That was the most even race I've ever had. He was alone and my gf was with me. She told me that I pulled a little on the 2-3 shift but I doubt it.
The other race was against my friends 91 'vette. He's done some mods and runs 14.12 quarter mild with an auto. He kicks my a$$ everytime, its still fun though.
