How fast is a stock C5 vette?
I was pulling into Best Buy and there was a C5 in front of me. I could see him and his buddy looking and chuckling. Given my mods do I have a chance against a C5? I will race one regardless of whether I can win or not. I just love the trill

Stock you might be able to take him. Granted, they are faster stock, but if he is a crappy driver and you are good then that would make up the difference, and with your mods I think that you probably could, especially with the converter.

I think you would have beat him no problem if he was stock. With your mods your car is in the 12.6 range with good traction and driving. Vettes run 12.9's most of the time some faster. W/O my coverter i beat one. It can be done. Even with a few intake and exaust mods you would be there wit him

walk it? be real
Sorry about the rant, but I'm not a fan of the "do you think I could've" or the "if I did this then I would've won" ... that I get to hear so often on this board. The only way to tell is by racing them, period.
Oh btw, you should've flipped them off.

Give us Vette owners the benefit of the doubt.

If they get next to you and rev their car and laugh, or roll down the window and talk smack to you, that is one thing. Otherwise that is not conclusive enough to say he was laughing at you or your car.

Thanks 69vette03 for giving us vette owners the benefit of the doubt. Not all corvette owners are ********. In fact, if you talk to them, alot of them just love cars. You should have raced him and found out! From a roll, I think he has you. From a dig, it would have been one hell of a race.

I ran a c5 tonight. We where together until 4th gear when I started to pull o so slightly. Judging by mph last week at the track, I would say they trap around 110-112 depending in driver.

Well, I left one part of the scenario out. I reved my engine at the guys in the Corvette. I am not busting on Vette owners. I would LOVE to own a Z06 Vette. But, until I can afford a Vette I am going to enjoy my SS. This is a people issue not a Vette owner issue. I am not trying to start a us against them war. I am just out to have some fun.
