On the way to work this morning I came upon a late model C-6 Vette. It was a yellow Z-06. I caught up to him in town and we both took the on-ramp to the freeway at the same time. He saw I was behind him and as we turned to the on ramp he was about 3 car lengths ahead of me. He hammered it through the turn and jumped way out ahead of me. I had already dropped it into 1st so I waited until I straightened up a bit and hammered it also expecting to run up to him but to my surprise I didn't close the gap at all. The speed limit is 75 on the freeway and I usually pin it until I hit 90 indicated as I merge. I stayed on it through 3rd gear and he kept going like a bat outta hell. I maintained the gap but expected to close and didn't. Not wanting to go to jail if caught, I chopped the throttle and slowed back down to 90 indicated. Eventually I caught up to him and gave him a thumbs up. All I could think is damm that car is fast and now I need a turbo!
