C6 Vette And 2011 Mustang 5.0 Gt...om Nom Noms

On the way home from work on thursday I came upon a C6 vette in traffic. Guy looked like a total douche so I decided to bait him in ;) . He decided to do a "check me out" move and slalomed between a few cars to prove his vette was a vette and not an oldsmobile. Once traffic broke and allowed me to I caught up to him and tapped the gas a few times, heard him drop a gear and I followed suit. He had a slight jump but I caught him and pulled past him slowly. We did this two times and when I rolled my window down and gave him a thumbs up he wouldn't even look at me. Go volvo!! :D

And then on the way TO work on friday morning I was minding my own business in the slow lane and saw a mustang bumper a few cars back. I slowed a bit to let him catch up and popped it in 3rd. This older dude didn't seem remotely interested. I went back into 5th and just as I did he took off so I had to chase him down. I had to move over a lane to pass him out. Pretty solid 55-135mph pull. This guy wouldn't look at me either when I gave him a thumbs up :lol:

Both of these cars put down between 375-395whp in stock form. I didn't do too bad for ~16psi and I was surprised my pressure plate held up. Once I get a clutch and pressure plate that can hold the power I'd like to run 22-23psi with meth and I should be able to have some fun with more modded v8s. I wouldn't have a chance if either of those cars had an intake/exhaust/tune/ etc..

Yeah the gripper went through three revisions before we got it right but I love it now. I'll have to update the thread, I apologize for slacking :lol: .

I had a run with a 5.0 GT as well... Surprisingly he never passed me... Not sure if he started in the wrong gear or what. WOULD not look at me either. (Stupid)

But I knew he was going to pull shens by the way he came off the line.
