Corvette vs R6
Corvette vs R6 Well a local guy I know had been wanting to run my car for awhile I finally got it out this past weekend to run him. Quick and to the point, enjoy!

I was spraying my car on that run I trap well over 130 on spray, only 123-125 n/a and I just did pull that bike. I am not taking anything at all away from your car, I have seen your track videos before and it is very impressive for what it is. But if you are only trapping 124 then I would think it would be very hard to outrun a sportbike. Stock 600's trap 130 fairly easy!
I'm only trapping 124+ and running low 11's due to lack of traction in 1-2-and 3. FWIW, on the open hwy, bikes don't rule like they do on drag strips, a 10 sec bike can sometimes be easily reeled in by a mid 11 sec car by 150mph. Not taking anything away from what you said, but I've had a quicker ET than cars that trap 5-8 mph faster than my car at the track. Your car is impressive on the spray, but throw some sticky tires on my C6 and I got those times NA .

you both have nice cars I completely agree about the bikes being reeled in by a car on the interstate wind resistance and lack of power really come into play at those speeds. I remember a post a while back when you were on some m/t tires and were still struggling a little with traction or something, your car is very quick and I could see some high 10's out of it N/A. From personal experience I have always seen auto cars run a little slower up top (mph wise) versus a manual car that is why I was curious of your top end like that. I have never been around the new A6 though so I am sure it makes a big difference. You are local to me so maybe one day we will meet at the track and runs theses things, should be a good run! BTW the times in my sig is pre Vararam/Fast 90 the car picked up a good bit from that so I am anxious to get mine back to the 1/4 as well!
The MTs and the C6 didn't get along too well that night, I got the same 60fts from my PS2s. Don't know if it was my technique or what, but I know those drs have a better 60ft in them. I don't like to talk in "could'ves" or "maybes", but a 1.6 60ft would make me a happy 10 sec ****...lol.
Nice car and no hard feelings

You never cease to amaze me with your posts on every forum you are on. 10.7's with just stickies huh on a stock converter? LOL, You sir are a tard.
Also ET's don't win roll races and the bike in this video would steam roll your vette and ego all the way to 150+.
Please do tell me how you plan to gain 6 tenths of a second with DR's on a stock stall when you are already hooking up great pulling 1.8 60's on street tires. Key word "stock" stall. You have already been to the track with sticky tires and ran no faster but you have excuses and to why you didn't gain these magical 6-7 tenths.

The guy on the bike needs to tuck down more, get his elbows in and learn to shift without the clutch. Not saying that would have changed the outcome but maybe it wouldn't have been as bad. I used to own an r6...or I still do but the engine is blown 
Nice car

Cars wills beat a bike that traps the same from a roll because a bike builds more mph in the first 1/8 and not as much on the second half, due to gearing, power to weight and aerodynamics.
I would say the guy on the R6 needs to tuck more, and wot shift. You can tell by how far he pulled the clutch in that he is rolling of the throttle when he shifts... But with all of that said and done he will still get his butt kicked.

Nice, read the comments I got on mine.
Click here
The guy I ran though wasn't the greatest rider but the plus being up top the Vette has more power then a 600.
