Vibe GT beats out Porsche and Evo in Road Rally!

Post by duck3 »

310 miles in 4 hours 11 minutes with 10 checkpoint stops and 2 gas stops with an average of 75mph on 55mph roads!Hey all you vibe owners....thought you'd get a kick outta this! I recently entered my 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT (bone stock minus performance clutch) into a road race and WON! Not only that, but I had the car going about 135 MPH for over 15 minutes! Check it out at http://www.cornballrun.com/?page=resultsThere is also a list of the other cars in the race on the "Signup" pageThe attached picture is in 5th gear by the way!

Just goes to show you don't need a fast car to be a fast driver

Instead all we have is like puzzles to solve while driving to check points. who ever finishes first with the least amount of penalties wins. Also not allowed to exceed speed limits as they know how long it takes to drive each point. lame....

That's awesome, and kind of scary at the same time. I'll remember to keep mine under 100, though I don't plan on rallying anytime soon. Congrats on the win!
