LS1 Vette ... Y U No Winning?

Don't ban me. I'm buying an LS1 next summer, but this was entertaining because the Vette owner had it coming.

Nice kill. I believe it. My buddies tuned turbo cobalt put up a better fight than a c5 vette I ran recently. It was an autothough and from a roll I pulled away easily

I am the cameraman / commentator / **** talker.

It took a fair amount of badgering to get these guys to even race because they were so cocky they thought it "wasnt worth their time".

I walked up and asked who the fastest car out tonight was an the vette guy quickly and affirmatively exclaimed ME!.

So I said why don't you ****** prove it.

Well, as the video shows he ended up grabbing his ankles and closing his eyes!

Looks like this race that happen with 2 of my good friends. The SS/TC vs A Bolt on LS2 6-Speed GTO. The Cobalt pulled on him and he was in total shock. The SS/TC ran 12.7@113.9

Come on guys, give us more background here you're leaving out a whole helluva lot of stuff! Like what did the vette have in it? was it a C6? I know I should be able to tell you if it's a C6 or C5 but from behind but I don't.

im in total shock on how quick these cobalts run. i had my 2007 solstice gxp manual with the gmpp stage 2 kit with a dejon intake and full exhaust. ran really good for what it was but i really really doubt it would outrun a vette... those cobalts must have a huge weight advantage.

It's an A4 with a Corsa catback. And yes, it's a C5 with an LS1.

Your car doesnt make 50 horsepower. Shut up.
