My cars all motor with bolt ons and full weight? Along with lg coil overs... Not exactly a straight line setup you donkey. Notice the MPH..

My car is full weight as well and it's balanced, I belive it's something like 51/49 , so very little weight transfer for the 1/4 mile, not like F bodies or mustangs. Incase you didn't know, I used to own a 2000 TA WS6 myself, and bone stock it ran 12.9-13.1's all day. The vette is NOT a drag strip set up car, it's a daily driver with the BENEFITS of being able to pull over a "g" and make a 1/4 mile pass in the low 11's. As for "wrapping it around a tree"....well, you're more likely to do that to a front heavy car, inducing a "pendulum" effect when hard braking, making the rear swing around and then into a tree. The vette brakes are just peachy, thanks for being concerned, and while I'm hardly the best there is, I can drive my car pretty well, so I'm not too worried about adding hardwood to the interior of the vette.

Shifting through corners, and lettting off abruptly at 120MPH in a corner is a recipe for disaster.

You're not more or less likely to eat **** any any car given the situation.
