Raced him on Cross Island from Linden Blvd..
i stayed with him at 120 around corners.. but as soon as i got to that stretch before the throggs neck bridge that long straight away.. he left me like i shut the car off and pulled over on the side of the road.. he had to have been up to 150.. because i was at 130 and he just took off..

Did you spray?
Any amount of "hanging" with a C5 is good... Yea at 130 he would leave you, whats the top speed on those? 160 or so? lol, I was toying with a yellow Z06 on the highway a couple weeks back. I kept blocking him in traffic so he couldn't pass me. It was really funny until he got that gap in traffic and then pulled away faster then I ever thought possible...Those cars are extremely fast...and mine's really slow. Bad combination.

Ok, here it goes.
Lowest on the EMS 'scale' to highest:
1.)Bystanders
2.)Certified First Responders, usually firefighters and cops.
3.)EMTs:They can use a limited number of LIFE SAVING ONLY drugs, such as epi, nitroglycerin and albuterol. They use automatic defibrillators.
4.)EMT-Intermediates:They can manually defirillate/shock, and can start IVs.
5.)EMT-Critical Care:More drugs than the intermediates
6.)Paramedics: can give many drugs, can do the IVs and shocking, can do intubation(put the breathing tube in someone's windpipe), can do crics (cutting a whole in your throat in case the breathing tube cannot go through), can decompress a pneumothorax (collapsed lung), can do critical care transfers (people on ventilators and various drugs, people usually in the ICUs of hospitals), and give selected narcotics to people.
6.5)Critical Care flight RNs:They are a supplement to paramedics, but HAVE to be cross trained as either a EMT or Paramedic. They do premature baby transfers.
7.)Flight doctor
Calling a paramedic an 'ambulance driver' is akin to calling the pilot of a plane the flight attendant. The skills necessary and level of training are MUCH harder. While one of the people does 'drive the ambulance', but are certified to do EVERYTHING the other can do.

Haha great one medicsonic i knew you would pull that up

I may be hypocrite but wasn't it you who was complaining that sprintmax's cousin in the Lexus gs 400/430 [sp] was not willing to travel over 120mph
Trained to save lives but encourages reckless driving? 
I also remember somebody RACING an ambulance to 90mph was it not a POWERSTROKE. Ohh by the way sorry for the misunderstanding but who really drive's that ambulance i mean drive it. So technically you are still a ....ohh well .
Don't let this post get to you it's all a joke.
