Having a Stock 98 C5 Vette I need to know what I should watch out for on the roads, it will also be useful to know which makes and models of cars (in the same league) which I will be able to toast.
Within these legal small races, im lookin at "off the mark" and perhaps outta a roundabout.
A few ideas I think been thinking about...
911's, Evo's(which ones), TVR's etc etc.....

i recently had an encounter with a 911 carrera 2, he definatly came off worst!

The acceleration is awesome on these cars especially from a standing start, theres not a lot that can keep up

Start thinking motorcycles rather than cars to play with, just be careful not to try too hard if its even slightly damp !!

I've had a few encounters although havent faired as well as i'd have liked,

I've got a 2001 C5 with exhaust and headers and induction changed....

Had a run with an M3 CSL and he was just pulling away but i was 2 up

Had a run with a new shaped impreza PPP and it was even stevens

Had a run with a EVO 6 slightly tuned and that was close too just in my favour...

Had a run with a TVR chimera up a hill in wales and he was glued on my ass

Boned a GT2 round Donington but i dont think he could drive.

Porsche 911 - Dont even bother they are too slow in standard form...

Thats all I can remember at the moment.

What's all this about horsepower? It's all a lot of torque!
