Default 2nd ZO6 Goes Down

Well I was on the interstate last night when I saw corvette taillights. I wasnt really planning on racing him but I wanted to check it out. At first I thought it was just a regular C5 but then I noticed it was a ZO6. I calmly gave it a little gas while I was beside him but he didnt reply so I pulled ahead. Then he pulls behind me pretty quickly. I already had the gas turned on so I punched it at about 80 mph in 4th gear at 3000 rpm. I had a huge adrenaline rush and I dont remember shifting but I had to if it was going over 150mph. He was sticking on my tail until I hit about 140mph then I started pulling slowly. I didnt think I was going that fast but when I cut it off the needle had pegged at 150mph. I know people will think BS but I did it and if I had a video I would show it. They said mustangs slow down at 125mph but mine pulled through the whole speedometer. I love that new spray bar kit! So we ran again side by side and it was dead even, I mean door to door but I had to shut it off since there was a car ahead. The third time I ran out of spray halfway through the run and he pulled hard when I did. He followed me to a gas station to see what I had. He looked so amazed that it was that fast. He said he thought it was an 03 cobra at first but couldnt believe it was a GT. I showed him my engine and he said his just had headers on it. Then I found out that the first ZO6 I beat was his next door neighbor. LOL.

All that was done with the bottle pressure at 900psi. I have no heater so the bottle goes progressively colder as im spraying. I like to keep it at about 1100psi.

I messed up on that post for some reason I was sure it was in 4th gear but then I thought "theres no way it went 150 in 4th!" So I deleted that and had to convince myself that I did shift into 5th but I didnt remember shifting. It was all a big rush so I didnt remember that I had shifted.

Hell yea. I know its probably not the greatest idea but I sprayed it for a long time in 5th. When your door to door with a ZO6, you dont really think about anything but taking the win.

I believe it. My boss has a c6 and he and I did alot of roll-ons, With me on spray I am side by side until the top of 4th. I don't spray it in 5th.
