On the way to Mark's shop I was on 1-80 at the 294 interchange I was just north of the 159th st exit when a CTS-V pulled between me and the car that was in front of me in the third lane. We cleared traffic and sure enough the CTS-V hit the hole running and tried to pull away, The Purple beasty hit the hole hard and reeled in the CTS-V convincedly and got a big thumbs up as we pulled aside. I am sure he has a new found respect for the C4 ZR-1.

Do you think he realized he was messing with a ZR-1 C4?

Drive yes! getting use to a ZR-1 power band "Still learning". Hopefully I will have it down for BG to turn in some decent numbers at the track.

My favorite is Z06 owners, My wife has a client that is a lawyer that bought a 2011 Z06, I told him I would race him for titles.

please be very carefull they mile an hr around 124 at the drag strip stk .which is most likely 2-4, mph faster than a car with your mods will do .now if he cant drive then you stand a good chance . but if he has headers and exhaust like my buddy has he will trap around 127-9 and run 11.0s with drag radails .

Yes, indeed. He's got a car, that minor bolt ons is producing at least 50 more hp., and is 300 lbs. lighter. You'd have to depend on him being a mediocre driver for you to win.
But it happens all the time. I used to clip unsuspecting Viper owners all the time. That's a thrill, beating a badass, 10 cylinder, monster with your lil' 350 c.i. ZR-1. The snakes have trouble in the first 60 ft.

Was it the LSA CTS-V or the older LS6 CTS-V?

It was the new 556hp CTS-V.
