Im like..ahh what the hell.. I rev it up to 4500+ a couple times and blow him off..haha.. he didnt rev back so im like oh well.. no boggy.. light turns green and both cars in front of us got out of the way.. oh ****.. I see his front end lift up a little and the car jumps.. I pop it in 2nd real fast from 3rd and floor it.. Im right next to this guy through 2nd and into 3rd when he and I both let off.. WTH.. come on now I know my car is quick but C5 quick?? I dont think so.. hehe.. well it was fun anyhow.. not much of a race but I sure do love antagonizing people with my BOV :)

Very nice larry. Maybe he was just playin or he couldn't drive and didn't rev it high enough. It's amazing he even played.. Most C5 owners are like 50 and don't even take them past 80mph

hmm if you started at 30--45mph, i can believe you hung with the C5, especially if it was an auto with 2.73 gears. those are dogs at that speed. it wont downshift into 1st, so the car just bogs.

97+ = C5 :) come on, you should know, your dad had 2 of them! :)

Larry there is nothing like pulling your frist vette... when you start walking away from them, you'll never think about your old celica the same way again.
