He asked you want race, I was said probley be a waste of my time I am stock plus you have 450hp. anyways we raced from 2 gear to 145 150 mph I couldn't believe I had 1 car on him tell 145mph 150 when I backed off. 383 stroker I have stock ls1 with cai. what going on here. I fig he would walk me hard like c6 z06 would walk a c5 stock ls1. just dont seem right to me.

He either isn't a good driver or something else is wrong with his car. I wouldn't read much into it.

Either he was full of ****, or the old rule of 'not all builds are created equal' applied. Probably a shitty 383 build.
