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?

OOOK.

On an automatic transmission (which I have) a neutral drop is pure stupid! Just power brake it a little (2500k) and you're good.

My first car was a 1986 corvette. It had about 225hp and 330 Ft-lbs of torque. Now, when I wanted to play, I could burn the tires for about 16-20 feet... no kidding. Once I was honestly going 45mph and Floored it and the rear end cut loose and I was all over the road. Point is, after 1984, the vette would run high 13's to low 14's. You see, it cost almost 30000 new, so it had to have power. The engine that bashed the vett's name was the 'crossfire' from 78-84,, or was the 8 a L-70 something... Pont is the L-88 was a great engine which was the mainstay of GM until the LT-1 came out. If you beat that car, it had some serious problems.
