Default Got to check out my first Vet

Just went to the local Chevy dealer and got to check out a brand fucking new Z06. Nice as shit but you prolly already knew that but for me i have never been in a Vett. Om got that has the nicest interior i have seen in a domestic. I also looked at some 03 Mustangs and i hate the interior of those because of the ones i saw all the gauges where sooo small... but just thought that i would share this with whoever cares.

Everytime I take a close look at a vertt...especially Z06 I am amazed. Its truly a work or art. But for the most part its simple and not over engineered. I wish I had one.

Yes...unfortuatly James and his new silver Z06 was wanting to line up as I was making a test run on the individual stages of nitrous. He got a 100 shot.

But he stilll has the Z06

Of course James never tells the truth when he gets beat. He told me about the race and said you guys raced twice and you only beat him by three cars on the spray.. I was like whatever. He asked me how I fair against the Hybrid and I told him on motor I get waxed by atleast 4 to 5 cars.. Then he started talking trash about how fast a Z06 is.. Of course I had to shut him up, because I have NEVER lost to a stock Z06.. I do not know what a Z06 with 2 passengers weigh, but I had 3/4th's tank of gas and bs from house shopping yesterday. I am guessing I was well over 3800lbs.. We go to the track and I tell James I will give him the move. James wants to go from a 20mph roll He hits it and I stroll by and he said he missed a gear.. Centerforce clutches do not like being hot lapped, but he wanted to hit it again immediately.. We go and I get out a half car and I miss second. He heard me miss the gear and it still did not stop him from proceeding with the race and going by me like 2 cars. I put it in 3rd and he still could not put anymore than the two cars on me and when I hit 4th I was reeling him in and he tapped his breaks and said lets turn around and go again. I couldn't believe he admitted hearing me miss a gear. Anyway, we go again from 2nd gear roll and as usual I give him the hit which does him no good. I pulled 2 to 3 cars in front by 110mph and shut her down. I never even went over 6krpm on each shift.. 4.10's are the shit when it comes to reeling people quickly after giving them the hit.. We get back to where he was talking shit and he was like I do not know what is wrong with my clutch, but when I hit 3rd the rpm's dropped down to 5krpm and slowly cam back up. He said it must be hot.. I was like you cant take a beaten like a man. Let that bitch cool off and we will go again.. Of course the excuses came, but he did say I was already a car or two in front by the time he got into 3rd. Then I flat out asked him.. Can you beat me now? He said of course not, you have all that money in your car. I was like whatever, the majority of money in my car was caused by repairs. If you were to add up the mods that are currently working on my car it would be much less than what I paid to rebuild my engine.. The bottom line is the Z06 is a sweet car, but without mods it is vulnerable..

Too much to read so anyone want to paraphrase that for me.

Lol Vince. But James was about right when he said I only beat him by 3 cars. I will say 4...but either way what he forgot to mention it was only through the top of second and part of third. And Bottle pressure was at about 950. As I said...I was just testing the first stage to ensure it was working. Probably an extra 70 HP over motor. I usually run it at 1150 and that will give me an actual 100 +/- 7 hp.


BTW...good kill on the Z06.
