lol, yeh he still needs some lessons. I think his problem is he is used to driving a 900-1000whp 997 turbo so he does not usually have to worry about getting the most out of his power band. He's definitely shifting to early. That gt500 is fast, but should not be hanging with a 12c

no really that gt500 only gets me by 1-1/2 2 cars from 40-140... I've seen vids of a 12c gaining busses on hci c6 zo6s making supposedly 570 wheel... Something does not add up there... My car is no where near a 12c... I'd get at least 10 cars put on me by a 12c

A stock 12c is a low to mid 10 second car at 135. Any 570 whp Z06 getting busses put on it is taking a nap while racing.

Either the guy fell asleep at the wheel or the 12c putting busses on him wasn't stock.

here is a vid of a 12c putting busses on a hci c6 zo6. And you can clearly hear the vette shifting fine.

oh and a couple of nights back that gt500 lost by a car to a s/c 5.0 that made 575 wheel. So yeah something was wrong with the 12c in this race. Most likely the driver

fast forward to 2:40 to see the gt500 getting pulled by the s/c 5.0

if something is wrong with the gt500 then the 12c must be on its last leg

i mean really, it takes a heads/cam full bolt ons pulley race gas auto cts-v making 725 wheel to just equal a 12c and your telling me a 650 wheel manual gt500 is that fast ROFL... gt500s are fast, but they need alot more than 650whp to match a 12c

I wasn't saying it didn't happen.. I was saying it shouldn't have happened.
