Just last week I left my office and as I drove down the street a fairly new Corvette was behind me. I was driving my El Camino with stock suspension and it handles just like all mid 1980s Chevy vehicles, boat like. The road in front of my office dead ends at a access road to the local highway.
All I have to do is get to the left lane and there is a "Texas turnaround" which is a single lane inside barriers and it just makes a big U turn and left you merge on the highway. You don't have to go through any lights and you have the right of way all the way to the long on-ramp up the hill to the highway.
That Corvette was right behind me as I entered the access road. I looked behind me as I crested the hill and he was over 1/2 mile behind me. Now remember I was driving a 334,000 mile Elky and I was NOT in any hurry. I was just driving at a reasonable normal speed. That new Vette must have been hypermiling. I would have driven that corner faster than him if there was freezing rain on the ground. Why would anyone buy a new fast car like a Vette and poke around at crazy slow speed.
