Supercharged Vette vs.F430

Supercharged Vette vs.F430

Thanks to ChargerRTZ for this Euro vs. American street match-up.

You know what it's like, you're just moeseying along in your ridiculously-loud, supercharged Corvette when you espy a F430 up ahead. Well, rude not to go and introduce yourself, right?

The two cars do some freeway slicing and dicing, then get a listen to the 'Vette's exhaust rumble and check out it's Stars & Stripes engine block. Sweet! Then it's time to play with a friend's Z06. Seems like a pretty good way to spend the day.

F430 Scuderia Chased by LP640

F430 Scuderia Chased by LP640

Looks like speedandmotion had a busy (and possibly expensive) weekend.

How come when we're on the freeway, we're surrounded by morons in minivans? Where do we need to be to see this sort of car show go flying by?

We're on board a Lamborghini Gallardo LP640 who's running in extremely good company in this video. There were exotics passing, and being passed, in every direction but we're pretty sure we spied an F599, a Carrera GT, various 360s, various Gallardos, a Diablo, a DB9, a Bentley GTC, and, of course, the F430 Scuderia.

The cars carve through weekend traffic like a hot knife through butter and our soundtrack is the glorious scream of the LP640's engine. Things get faster around the 3 minute mark as the Lambo hooks onto the exhaust pipes of the F430 and they pull away from the pack.

Alas, there's no pulling away from the undercover Highway Patrol car and this video does not end as happily as it might have. No news on whether tickets / jail / lube picked up where this video leaves off.

For more fantastic supercar action, watch these Exotics Cruising & Racing On The Street

And you'd be stupid not to watch the F430 Scuderia Chased by a LP640 video

Video: Car-Parazzi at CHP 11-99 Foundation Run '07

View CHP 11-99 Foundation Run

Brought to you by Car-Parazzi.

The CHP (California Highway Patrol) 11-99 Foundation was created to provide assistance to current, retired and Fallen in the Line of Duty CHP employees and their families. The guys from Car-Parazzi were at their latest run through the beautiful Southern California canyons. With just about every exotic car in production today at the event, it's definitely something worth seeing.

A proper response to the question "will I see my favorite supercar in this video" would simply be "what color would you like it in." It's the who's who of exotics. You'll see everything from an original GT-40, to today's rarest production cars like the Ferrari Enzo and the Bugatti Veyron.

It's kind of funny at 2:24 when a motorcyclist going in the opposite direction decides to turn around in the middle of the road to follow the line of cars. Everyone wants to be a part of the run.
