Highway run on 94... A little too much traffic for me though. Still a great run.

I enjoy watching this stuff as much as any of you. I gotta say, though, that those guys were so reckless in endangering innocent people that I hope some of those folks jumped on their cell phones and called the cops. Better yet, I hope they were caught.

i agree with houston. i know i've called cops before when i saw highway racing. being a daddy really changes your perspective on things.

The vette could beat the GT, but the driver was too busy playing follow the leader he never tried to pass.

Better yet, I hope they were caught.You are right! That is why I said too much traffic for me. Not a wise move on these guys parts and the Vette driver even said the GT driver works at Ford! Nice, say that on tape!

I saw the lambo also. but the second one I think was a Toyota MR2 Spider. How crazy would it have been if both those cars joined in on the chase. lolEdit: Actually, I just watched it again, and I think it is actually another Lambo. sry

Yeah I thought the second one was a spyder to but once the vette got closer you could tell.

No, no SS but Blue Devil is coming... That is its code name but it will be the most powerful street legal Vette ever. It is coming, get ready for it! I am sure I will start drooling when I see it! To Hell and Back Off-again/on-again super-Corvette is definitely on, GM performance cars chief says AutoWeek | Published 05/01/06, 2:38 pm et That off-again/on-again super-Corvette is definitely on, according to General Motors performance cars chief Tom Wallace. Wallace, who replaced recently retired Corvette chief engineer Dave Hill, tells AutoWeek the biggest challenge facing the so-called Blue Devil Corvette is figuring out how to get 600 hp to the ground in such a way that it can be handled by a driver with the money to buy the car. Wallace said GM is considering requiring that Blue Devil—and even Z06—buyers attend a driver school as part of the price of admission.

You are kidding? SS? (removed)? Amazing I hope that does not happen! Corvette has never had an SS version in its 50 years! My god how dumb! What an insult, GM has already SS-ized everything in their line up...

Blue Devil sounds alot better unless you have a red one or something... I also like the idea of a driving school so some rich kid (or irresponsible adult) doesn't get one for his/her birthday and wrap it around a pole.

Yeah, don't you guys knows GM's way of thinking. If we put "SS" on everything it will sell. For instance, Cobalt SS, Malubi Maxx SS, Impala SS, SSR, HHR SS, Monte Carlo SS. And trust me ... more than 80% of these cars are not a "super sport"dan

i can say that the SSR did not meet the expectations of GM they are killing the car this year so most of these cars GM SS'd are pretty desent i think but if, and thats a Big If they keep the prices resonalble then they can probaly do better. but thats just my opinion.

wow...i just watched that...I'v played follow the leader before when there was 'some' traffic back in the day but thats just plain ignorance there. It would have taken nothing to kill alot of people there.
