You stepped up to the plate knowing you didn't have the upper hand , that alone earns cool points in my book ! Can't count how many times I tried to run a car I knew was faster just to see the outcome and just got ignored ,turned down ,etc . Honorable death for sure ! Saw your other vid's and the car definitely runs hard , just outgunned this time around ! Keep the vid's coming and try to stay out of trouble , lol !

Love your c5. It must be a nice cruiser. Gear and stall would make it a killer car, but I'm sure you love those 2.73's.

Props on stepping up to cars like that! I really have to wonder how your car would do if it were set up right. I would think a properly setup HCI C5 would give that bolt on ZO6 a much better run

2.73 makes it nice to cruise but a 3.42 would of put up a hell of a fight with those cars

I hear you man. My car has a pretty large cam. I have a converter but it is small and tight. I hate my 3.27's. Does your car push through the brakes at a red light at all?

I still think the Z would have the edge but with gears and stall I think it would be WAY closer!

Nice! You keeping the 2.73s or swapping those at some point too? I don't know if it'll make up that gap with the cars in the vid but it'll be a whole different ride with those mods for sure.
