That right there will get the job done 9 times out of 10 on the street from a dig. Good run

So they can get consistent good traction?

5.0's tires stock are garbage, add a few bolt ons and they're pretty useless. And a cammed/stalled C5? Lol.

Especially from a dig in that short of a race, traction is everything.

It was fair though. Both on a normal tire. Drivers has to get up on the wheel.

Seen that coming you can hear the 5.0 rev it up. He tried to launch to hard and spun them little 255's off. He has brembo rims so it has 255's in the rear.

I already edited. I knew it was a manual but worded it wrong. You can hear the 5.0 rev up before launch and hold it. On them sucky 255's that isn't going to work.

I was! Well, maybe not a complete raping.

But a cammed and stalled C5 should always put a beat down on a 5.0 with a couple bolt ons.
