Well guys I was out in the Cobra the other night looking for something to race when I see this Z28 turning on to the road I am on. It took the guy a while to get up next to me even with me going slow and almost no traffic. This made me think the guy wouldnt be game but he proved me wrong. It was a black 95-97 Z28 not sure if it was a 6spd or an auto but it looked completely stock. Anyway we catch a light together and I can tell he wants to race. I didnt wanna race from a dead stop because my car will not get any traction in first gear from a dead stop so the light turns green and we both leave the light kinda normal he takes off a little faster than me but I leave it in first gear and get next to him and hit it. He must have known what I was doing because he hit it to at exactly the same time. I pull through 1st almost instantly spinning the tires I bang it into 2nd and lay about 10 feet of rubber I look over and the Camaro is right next to me dead even. Second goes by pretty quick and I throw it into 3rd at about 4500rpm in third I notice I am starting to pull on the Z28. At 5700 rpm I shift into 4th gear and look over to see the camaros front bumper is at my rear tire. I hold it in 4th for a little while and see the Z28 is not making any progress so I let off because hell we are doing 110mph in a 35mph zone! I am in the right lane the Z is in the left lane on a 4 lane road 2 lanes each direction. The guy in the Camaro drove like a nut and kept going a little ways after I let off. Up ahead I notice another mustang turning into the street going our direction. The guy in the mustang goes for the left lane which is the one the camaro guy is in going at least 75-80mph at this point I think the guy in the mustang sees how fast the camaro is going and he tries to go to the right lane well guess what?so does the guy in the camaro because he is trying to fly around this mustang. So the guy in the camaro darts over and back and almost loses control of his car. I bet he missed that mustang by 6 inches. At this point I think to myself Thank god I let off when I did or this would have been one bad accident
