Stomped a 74 vette yesterday.

Now let it be known I do not condone street racing, this was more like a back county road race.

 

I was taking the Z out for it’s weekly drive (or it gets jealous of the Cobra) and was just tooling along thinking how different the Z feels compared to the Cobra. I was sitting at a stop sign when a 74 vette rolled by. Nothing special, and I didn’t think he wanted to run so I followed him at the speed limit until we got out side the little town we were in. Out side town the guy punches it so I down shift from 5th to 3rd and stomp it. I had to let off pretty quickly because I was about to run up his tail pipes. He was staying in it so I eased on the gas again and set the car right behind him. Into the turn (right, small straight then left) I starting thinking hmmm did this guy rebuild his suspension the way I did? Nope, he stands on the brakes and then gets on it again, brakes for the left hand turn and into a straight, that’s where I make my move. Shift into 3rd and stomp it. I went flying past the vette like he was standing still, I know he was on it because his turbo mufflers were making that rattling, I’m on it all the way sound.

 

I pulled over to see if he was willing to chat but he just went on down the road, probably scratching his head on how a Datsun 240Z just stuck it to him in a baaaad way.

Don't feel bad, but '74 was the bottom of the curve for Corvettes. Chevy actualy made a Vega that year that did 0-60 faster.
