Greetings! Got my first Vette and first LS1. It's a CE 04 vert. WOW!! what a car. I am 49 yo and wear Chevy bowties. My nephew owns an 01 Cobra with Borla exhaust. He bleeds Ford red. He had been teasing me about running and I was always afraid to in case I lost I would never hear the end of. Finally one day he was needing help bleeding the brakes on his car after putting rotors and new tires and wheels on it. I helped him and then he said well Uncle Steve let's line em up. So here we go. We lined up and he honked and we left. I neglected to kill the traction control and blew the tires away with the clutch. He left good and go out on me about 4. But when it hooked I new I could take him. We went back and did it again. He lives in the county and the ditches are deep. We launched and both went to the left and I thought we were gonna hit or worse go to the ditch. God, how could I explain to the wife!! Once again, he got about a car due to tire slippage. But when she hooked I ran him down and then some. His dad was riding with him and he told me later that he was screaming to his son and jumping up and down in the seat. "HERE HE COMES, HERE HE COMES!!!. Needless to say I was estatic and the young one is now spending money on mods. His mom has made me promise to let him beat me or it will break the kid. No job and going to college. Sorry for the long story and you had to be there but if ever in this situation you know what I'm talking about. Oh by the way, I now have a Black Wing, eradispeed rotors Z-06 exhaust, Z06 CE wheels and F1 GY's.
