Default Encounter with Diablo VT!!!!

Ok don't get too excited, we didn't get to race but, we did get to play a little in some heavy traffic on a 4 lane road (85th). Everytime we got an opening he went for it. I was always right on his tail, but I have a feeling he was just toying with me. I wish we could have had a stop light opportunity, but no such luck. Oh well, Maybe next time I know he would have left me in the dust, but it would have been fun to give it a try!

Anyone know the stock #'s on a VT? I wonder if it would even have been close, I'm thinking NOT even close, after all he has a V12 and 500+hp. I think I remember the 0-60 times is around 4.0 seconds? I'll have to look it up.

At any rate, It is always fun playing with a $200k+ exotic!! That is one beautiful car! BTW it was a metallic Purple, very nice!

I think I've seen this one in Portland. Crazy low. Pretty impressive.

Hey you never know, in any given day, a missed gear, or a fearful driver. I am sure all of us have either been in or seen a race were the winner shouldn't have won. =} I took down many stang 5.0's in my stock jetta GLX. Only reason is that people don't know how to drive.

Default True... True...

In fact, since he still had a temp plate I bet he hasnt figured out how to keep the 500+ hp on the ground. I would have loved to go head to head... BUT I found out on my way home from work that he works across the street from me! (At Infospace.com) Hopefully that means I will get my chance sometime!
