Default Raced a C6 and Charger R/T on the way home the other night...

I was coming back from a friend's house the other night when a black C6 came running up on my bumper. After we went through the light he switched lanes and got beside me. We both acknowledged and took off with him pulling a car on me from the start. I actually was able to get about a half car back on him and we stayed like that for the rest of the run. Not too bad a run. I short shifted third by a little. I was over anxious.

I jump on the highway and start heading back when I pull up next to a new R/T. We were doing about 70 when I dropped to third to pull up next to him. He took off as soon as he heard the car downshift. (Not his fault. He probably thought I was going for the ricer flyby.) He's about a car and a half out when I instantly reel him in and put 3-4 on him before shutting down. It was a fun night.

Car is an '01 ws6 m6 with ram clutch, aluminum flywheel, rumbler cb, and 3.73's.

You sure the C6 was racing?

Yeah. He was jumping the car and pulled instantly. I think he was just a really shitty driver. I noticed I pulled him on his shifts.

yea or he was partial throttle, not saying your car isnt fast, just those C6 vettes are no joke man, and even with a pretty bad driver he should still be able to pull a few lengths.

i sometimes only partial throttle it against alot of the 4cyl's i come across who rev at me. they shift and gain a little on me and i just push the throttle the smallest amount to pull back in front and make them think its close.

but either way nice kill on the R/T those things are fat pigs!

Yeah. I was definitely surprised it was that close. You're probably right. Thanks for taking the wind out of my sails.

I have ran dead even witha C6 on the highway up till we shut down about 140. I pulled to begin with then above 100 he evened it out. He would go past me a little over time but not much.

I find it hilarious how it's so hard to believe he did what he did to the C6 but the Charger was doomed from the beginning. haha. I love this site.

A car that is going to put 3/4 cars on a Charger R/T should be around the C6 at the end of the race. Sounds very plausible.

A charger R/T is slow, a C6 run's mid 12's and traps 114+ stock

The c6 driver was cool. It seemed like he wanted to go again. I should have stayed with him but I was quite a bit from home and the onramp was right there. The Charger got off the same exit I did but went the opposite way.

True, but variables are LS2 vs. LS3, Z-51 or not, driver mod, etc.

I agree. I pulled up on a R/T the other night and I'm completely bone stock ('98 TA M6) and pulled around 4 or 5 lengths from 70. I've never ran one from a dig but I doubt it would be too much different
