Just curious, because I 've challenged a couple vetttes but none respond some are old geezers, most of the time they don't care, Its either that or on the highway and already goin with a rolling start that they respond? But has anybody challenged a vette off a red light in an fd? what was the out come? Thanks.

i haven't done it, but a lightly modded fd should take it in a close race. it's all about the launch. and good luck finding a vette drivin by someone other than an old man or a middle aged woman, cuz that's all i see driving them. the Z06, however, is another story.

Yes....I raced a red Automatic. It was a C5 and we raced from a stop on a long *** road. I had him the whole way but he was able to keep up. One time an old guy tried to race me in his yellow ZO6. I revved but when the light turned green he took off and I drove off really slow. A cop pulled out right behind him but didn't pull him over. Funny none the less.

I took a vert. C5 just today. It wasn't from a dead stop, he'd have killed me badly if it was though.

I dont know i woudl take any vette even a Z06. I dont care if it even has a few mods done to it. When your puttin 400 Hp to the ground with less weight the vette is gettin own3d.

Damn.. 4 car lengths.. does that include the almost car length start head had over you? What all mods do you have? Backfiring.. there may have been something wrong with the vette..
