Default C6 Z06 gets rude awakening

Crusing on the highway I spot some familiar daytime running lights and they are approaching fast. A very nice black C6 Z06 gets right up on my bumper and just hangs there for a moment. Finally I hear the owner drop a gear and dart over in the other lane to pass. As soon as I heard hit downshift I smashed the go pedal and instantly matched his pull. We both stayed in it for a good amount of time and I took it up to 150mph (no other cars were around) and put at least 4 cars on him. I love my car!!! This guy would not pull up next to me, no thumbs up, no nothing. He just stared straight ahead and wouldn't look over.

My car is a 2008 LS3 vette with Longtubes, alky injection, and the shop I go to installed their custon Novi 2200 kit with intercooler. The car is on a very safe tune and only running 8lbs for now. Next year I plan to forge and turn up the boost but for now I am just enjoying the car. My car made 579rwhp and over 600ft. A quick pass at enhlishtown with a 275 drag radial on the car produced the following times.

R/T .213
60 1.767
1/8TH MILE 6.926
MPH 108.03
1/4 MILE 10.551
MPH 135.06

With that 120mph trap, how is that possible? How much are you laying down on the pavement?

Either you had traction problems the first half or your car pulls HARD up top.
