C5 Got me good
 

I've been reading on your forums for a long time but never really posted. Figured I'd post a story of how a C5 got me good.

It was after work, around 7:20pm, and I'm on my way to pick up my daughter. Riding in my GTO, and minding my own business. I usually pay attention to the headlights behind me but I was solid daydreaming or something since I had no Idea a C5 vette had been behind me. I'm sure he got a chance to read my plates and hear the exhaust on my GTO which in itself hints that this is no normal GTO. None the less I was oblivious to him being behind me on this one lane road.I'm coming up to my turn, and so I move over to a left hand turning lane and slow down getting ready to make my turn, still unaware of the vette. Just then, the roar of a demon exhaust revs next to my passenger windowand scares the living crap out of me, I jumped like someone that never heard a car rev in there life.

I could of kicked myself for being such a candy cane. The vette was just giving a friendly "hello" rev and my daydreaming self was caught unaware. I swear I laughed pretty hard at myself for at least a good two or 3 minutes. My car runs longtube headers, catless mids, and corsa sport catback. I'm use to the sound of exhaust...it just killed me that I got caught off guard by the vette hehe. Maybe a lame story for a first post, but thought I would share. I love vettes, and if I didn't need a backseat I would of gotten a C6 instead of my GTO. Love my GTO though...need to convince the wife to let me have a C6 and a GTO hehe.

Cool story, thanks for sharing with us!! Those GTO's are right wicked cars, no doubt about it! And yours is warmed over, eh? Makes for a nasty beast! But, yeh, you just cannot beat the glory of a Corvette, that's for durned sure! Post some pictures of your GTO, if you can, I'd love to see it. :)

And don't be afraid to jump in here, bro, we're all in love with the same cars and are a real friendly group to chat with. [8D]

Thanks....yeah I just got to ride and drive a new 07 vette and it was a very diffrent very nice ride. The handling in stock form is vastly superior to that of the GTO...it's just night and day. Here are some pics of my car and a few vids.
