Last week I went to a local street race here in Watrebury CT just to watch a 2002 vette against a 2002 Lightning. I was there a little early and the only ones there were my mechanic and the guys with the vette.The vette sounded awesome and I was told it had some work done to it and a 150 shot on it. We waited about 20 minutes and no one showed up and the guys in the vette ask me if I want to run for the hell of it. I said I don't street race and I didn't have my drag radials on either. So I declined but my mechanic talked me into letting him race my car against the vette if the guy didn't use the juice. So now here is my mechanic/tuner taking my baby down the freshly paved road to the starting line. They both do ther burnouts and stage. Out of the hole the vette jumped out about 2 car lengths and the GN just could not get any traction.It spun right thru 3rd but the vette couldn't pull away. I was amazed at how my car ran but disapointed that it lost. Talking to the guy with the vette after the race, he said he sprayed the whole way down!! I was tempted to go get the drag radials and go at it again.But the lightning pulled in and the money race was on. I didn't think the lightning had a chance but holy @#@# it beat the vette by 2-3 cars. The guy in the vette was pissed because he said he started in D3 instead of drive. Oh well that was a 400 dollar mistake. Looks like a few rematches are in order.
{That Lightning sounds like it's a wicked runner thou}
