Me vs 2003 C5 Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oat5UF4rU_I
Video was taken on my phone, but quality isn't too bad. My mods are in my sig, his only mod I think is an intake. He's also an M6. I was right with him through 1st and 2nd, but 3rd he started pulling away. I let off around 110 or so. I believe I require the "driver mod", but no excuses, he got me fair and square. Race was from a dig, video starts right after the launch. And thanks to Chris (Chris95Z) for being the video man.

Not sure why you would post a Kill of yourself. But nice try. It's hard to make up that weight advantage

It's my first vid and I'm not one to get upset about a loss. Plus I haven't seen many videos with verts racing around here so I figured why not. It was a friendly race with a guy I know. Nice Corvette by the way.

Put a mild cam designed for your exhaust (e.g. CheaTR) and a pulley and that will give you some more power and rpm to beat those pesky vettes.

Chris, it went out in a blaze of glory. Have you picked it up yet? We need to get a run in before the rain starts coming down

Ragtop 99, the cam will come after I rebuild my motor, the car has 108,000 miles or so right now so when it decides to die I'll put in a nice heads and cam package, full exhaust, etc. That should be enough to take care of a few vettes.

Actually I am picking my engine up in a couple of hours. Finally (gasp), but I am waiting for some parts that I ordered. One in particular is keeping me from being able to put the motor back in this weekend. We'll have plenty of chances to run next spring, in order to graduate this May I have to go back to 301
