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?

QUOTE 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 Ok. The fastest street legal car as of now is a 7.1 second Supra. That specific Supra is an Automatic. The second fastest street legal car is a 7.21 second Nissan Skyline, it is a swapped Automatic. The 3rd fastest street legal car is a 7.211 996 Porcshe Turbo which is also a swapped Automatic. TYVM.. gg.

can we see the article(s) you got that from? its not that im doubting you, i do know the fastest cars all do eventually need to be converted to autos... i would just really like to read the article. and also as i stated before each one is twin turboed.

my apologies about the street legal thing originally i thought you said stock street legals, but then i read 7 seconds and that that isnt right... my bad, but that still doesnt prove your point.
