This literally happened about 30 minutes ago. The one advantage he had on me was that his car hugs the ground a lot better than mine because we raced on a hilly and curvy road.

It starts off like this. I was driving my best friend home when I see a guy in a corvette. I give him the thumbs up to say nice car but I think he thought I meant different. At the flashing yellow light we go for it. We are neck and neck until I get to third and my car hits a dip. My tires catch on the fender and I slow down and get a little bit of airtime. Needless to say he got ahead of me and took the win. It was all fun and games and if it had been on a smoother and straighter road theres no telling what might have happened.

The 82's were some of the slowest Vettes ever made, he probably thought you were making fun of him.

82s were C3s
C4s started in 84
and even a C4 with an LS1 is still ugly

While an 1982 is a C3 (If it was an 1982 it should have had Cross-Fire Injection emblems) most
Non-Vette guys cant tell the 1980-1982 apart. If it was a 1980 L82 you may have had a fighton your hands.

As toC4's while they were never factory equiped with a LS1 the 1996 M6 (LT4 -330 bhp) is likely
under-rated and can give a1997 C5 LS1 a serious scare.

Only one '83 vette. One of my favorites is the stingray vette off or rushhour spokes and all.
