Trashed a vette, thought they were faster... Options

[ScoobyDooCruiser]

On my way to the airport a few weeks ago, I had the chance to race a corvette, it looked like it was from the 80's, one of the ones without the pretty lines. We pulled up to a stoplight, and since she had been driving like a maniac before, I thought it might be fun to race, and get beaten, by her.

When the light changed, I floored the thing, dumped the clutch, and took off. I was sure she would beat me, I've just got a stock GT. Somehow, I was able to keep ahead of her. What is up with this? Don't those things have massive engines?

Anyways, the highway we were on stays clear, and it was early morning, so there was no traffic. The GT's top out at about 125mph or so (at least mine), so she was finally able to pass me once I hit my top speed. Shouldn't she have beaten me long before that though? She was trying too, I could tell, but I know my car ain't that fast. Anyways. Just kinda rambling. This ain't supposed to happen tho, is it?

the 80s vettes are sh!t, too much emissions crap and no muscle to compinsate.

oh and jason, thats bullsh!t cuz the top 3 street legals are not sold in ATs. enzo, murecialigo (cant spell it), and that bugatti. and all are 6 speed MTs.

oh and also ask anyone who redlines their gears "manually" and ask how trashed their transmission gets. and ya you should worry about your transmission if you "manually" shift an AT. clutchs are much easier and much cheaper to replace than your entire AT transmission
