Torched10 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 My wife has been hearing about the Shelby for a year now and she aksed me if it was faster than her 07 vette. She has done drag racing before.So i said no match.Well we had to drop her car off early and we were on a 4 lone at a redlight.She said lets race.Well after i stopped spinning tires and wheel hopping she was way ahead of me--so no more dinner talke about cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 hahaha Yeah the same thing happened to me a few weeks back at a stop light when I was next to a Charger SRT8 I just kept spinning and he was gone I guess feathering is something I need to learn.

Michael Morris Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Ill come up and take the GT500 to pickup the vette and we can try it again!!! If you cant beat her, wreck her!!! Cars have TON of power, but does take some learning to get it to hook up!! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullens Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Do a 40mph roll-on. I bet you do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezareth Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Do a 40mph roll-on. I bet you do better. The title of this thread is misleading....it should read "Trounced by wife" ( = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firetruck Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 The title of this thread is misleading....it should read "Trounced by wife" ( = If you do a rolling start from 40-50 you will eat her lunch. never run a standard vette from a dead stop(rolling is a dead heat) 2011 model. you should never get beat by a SRT8. just because a car jumps you off the line.you can still overtake most. I believe the 2010 camero SS six speed will take an 07 vette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVTSnake Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Not only were you beat by a chick in a Vette, but your own wife!!! How can you look her in the eyes?! Gotta practice that launch, I'm sure mine isn't any better....but my wife hasn't beat me :happy feet: J/K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denohew Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 You would have done better with the traction control on! Can't just dump the clutch at 5,000 RPM'S and expect to launch like a rocket in these cars. You can beat that Vette but it is going to be a case of the catch up's unless you learn how to go slower than faster upon launch or buy some really good street slicks! denohew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Train Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Got to give you one thing, your a bigger man for admitting this, I would have never in a million years, shoot I probably would have gave her every excuse in the book too, missed a shift, bogged, left TC on, air pressure wrong, was picking my nose, thought we were going on three honks, you name it I would have come up with something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh8SnakeDriver Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 You might want to change the title of this tread from 'trounced by a Vette" to 'Spanked by my wife!" You need a " Driver Mod" for sure! Pretty funny though. Now that I think about it, I'm glad my wife drives a Honda CRV May have to rethink my plan as I've been pushing her to trade in the CRV for a new SHO!
