I'd say the old chap driving it just isn't as good as he should be. Regardless, the stocker gets raped once the turbo'd Vette gets going.

I don't think they had a long enough straight to stretch them out, I'd be surprised if they hit 90 MPH in those, and it looks like the TT driver may be past his prime when it comes to driving. Awesome to see them driving them like that though!

Looked like the TT car pulled on him easily to me once he built boost and caught
traction. I agree with 'Trust'. Stay WOT for 5 seconds and the turbo car would've
been long gone.

Looked like he's deff short shifting and pretty slow shifting to me but pulled hard in boost! also sounded like he may have not been wot even in 2nd and 3rd or with the claimed 800hp on street tires he would've been blowing the tires off in 3rd... maybe he's worried about the clutch cuz it seemed like he would shift then roll into the throttle instead of stomping it like I would be Lol
