Do you know what a half-second looks like at 60 MPH? If you do, that's what OWNED looks like.

If you don't know, that's about 3-3.5 car lengths. To me, that's OWNED.

Not trying to be a sarcastic ***, but I'm just being realistic.

Does he have a puncher's chance against the WS6? Of course. But the most likely outcome is that the GXP comes home with it's tail between it's legs.

I guess "OWNED" is a subjective term. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

i was on my way home from the store and i saw it coming in my mirror and when he pluued up next to me i asked if he wanted to race. so we jumped on the highway where he completely crushed me. but i have to say that has been one of the best races i have been in. well that and the cts-v i run with the GXP. the thing is where i used to live no one really had the ***** to run me in either car i had. mostly civics and vw's where i lived. i like to push myself and if i lose i just have to get better or make my car faster. and z28 you can tell me what you think i can take it really. i know i didnt have a chance in hell but i was bored and wanted to see how bad it was going to be.

You know this is a completely different catagory of cars. A ws6 is a sports car and a impala is a 4 door family car and i think any 4 door family car that can run only .4 tenths of a second slower then a ws6 is pretty bad ***. I wont take anything away from a ws6 they are badass. I just had to have a impala due to 3 kids. No matter what you have there is always somebody faster. There is a impala running around houston with a forged motor and 20psi out of a turbo. He is hitting 9s which is very impressive for a front wheel drive car and my friend is putting 1124 to the ground in his street drivin mustang. Its just fact of who gots more money. To me its just seems more fun smoking cars in something nobody expects. We got a guy with a impala ss running 11.6 with the turbo kit on stock motor. O the look on the guys face thats driving the vette thats gets beat by a car with 2 cars seats in it lol.

A ws6 is a sports car
Wrong. Its a pony car or a muscle car. The Corvette is a sports car.

Proof? That car was on a 100 shot. We knew it but it eventually came out in the open. You can thank your daddy Phillip for opening his mouth.
