Last night I was on the freeway, and I came up on a red C5 Coupe. Still had the dealer plate, so this probably wasn't to good an idea on his part...but anyways.

I motioned for him to slow down, and asked if he wanted to race. We were rolling at like 40 mph. He told me to slow down untill I got to like 20 mph. LOL. He knew he had torque down low. We went, and he got me by about half a car. We went a 2nd time from 40 mph. That time he was at my rear wheel and couldn't pull. I was pretty impressed with my cars performance against the Corvette. I've always wanted to race a stock one but never had the chance. Wooot for 'Vettes and M3's :)

I had a run with one on the highway in the summer, very fun. We did a roll from 110kph to about 250kph and we were pretty much even. From about 200 and on I was inching towards his car (I was behind him). Later on when we slowed back down the driver was in utter shock, he was like WTF did you do to your car? He laughed when I said it was stock haha. C5s are definitely quick, and Z06s are even more deadly haha. Very fun indeed.

I had a run in with an M3 when we used to own a C5 and basically had the same results.

My old boss had a C5, it was pretty quick. We were fairly even, I would always beat him off the line (AWD:thumbsup: ) and stay ahead of him by a car length or 2. Third gear he would gain a bit sometimes.

Z06 would be another story...soon, though...:D

We have a C5 in the family, chances are if you see a Vette heading out of Calgary to Okatoks its us.

The XLR will have the LS1 (same engine as the regular vettes, not the z06's..) but that'll haul fucking ass in a lil thing like that, the CTS has a 3.2L..... and the XLR is jumping to a 5.7L... goddamn caddies. :drool:
