Default Poor C6

Well today on the way home from work I was on the highway. Just got on running about 65-70. A black C6 gets beside me and starts pacing me. I look over and tell him to go. I was in 4th gear about 4000 rpms. So he nails it and I follow suit. I even had some spin. Buy the time I hit 85-90 I had pulled a car on him even after he got the hit. But now i am into the boost hard. By 110 I shift into 5th my 1:1 gear and it kicks a little sideway and then catches. I am now about least 7 lenghts out in front of him or so by 135(5th goes to about 156)mph. I let out and he catches back up. Guy looked like what the hell over at me. I gave him a thumbs up and made the next exit to turn around to get back to my exit.

His car had exhaust least a cat back as it had some rumble. But I would say that was about it. I do know I need some better street tires As I had some spin on the first hit and then again when I changed gears.

I will be looking for some the modded vettes i know that are here. As I know they are some that will give me a run for my money and mostly beat me. Specially a black C6Z that makes 650whp on motor.

Just a few bolt ons...LOL...

No really I have full bolt ons and I am SC with 11-12lbs boost. On the email tune I have no idea what the RWHP is. But I can tell you its over 630whp under 700whp right now. I have been data logging back and forth for this email tune to be pretty perfect. I will be dynoing it to see how close it is. But will also be doing a full dyno tune here in the next week.

1.) Your neighbors hate you.

2.) Your garage door is slighty dirty.

Besides that, that bitch is nasty!
