C5 owner is pretty crazy changing lanes and losing traction/jumping around like that is not a good idea.

Yeah he thinks he has a master or a clutch problem... He's been having a lot of high rpm shifting issues lately, should be pulling everything and cracking open the trans too just to make sure it's not a hard part issue either. His car moves out hard for an all motor car though, once he gets his trans/shifting issues down and a rogue crank sensor it'll be getting a shot thrown at it and really haul ***.

Now that was some badass races!! The chase video of the first race mind fucked me when i seen the truck pulling the chase car. Found out why the very next race lol. Crazy to see a pickup side by side with a 800+rwhp vette from a roll!

After all those high hp races you save those ******* turtles for last!! It literally seemed like they were crawling after watching the others. When they went WOT i could just feel the lack of torque lol

Gtr slap a zr1??? Driver mod on a paddle shift car??? I always thought a gtr can damn near drive them selves around and were more in the zo6 class not zr1.

A normal running full bolt on E85 GTR runs like low 10s at mid to high 130 mph. Thats a bit more than a stock ZR1

Well let's be fair, the ZR1 is driven by one of the best Vette drivers around, I won't throw names around but he's quite famous down in this area. The GTR was admittedly in the wrong gear for that race, he wants a rematch with him for sure. He was on 19 psi and trapped 138 mph on that tune so a rematch "should" go in the GTRs favor.

Hey, at least you watched the turtles because I had you hooked with the high hp races!!

Although for real, my Buick got out hard as **** for a FWD Regal on bottle!

....Unless you were talking about the very last race because that is definitely turtle status, I was camera car at like 1/4 throttle, if that... lol

Trans is solid as can be!! *Knocks wood*

I only sprayed second except for that 30 roll and it didn't seem to slip or anything, I'm not worried because it's only a 50 shot and the bottle was pretty cold.

Caught it too Evan. But it's sad it's true in that vid

LOL at that "race" at the end.

Video proves that a Vette is all about the driver mod. Pet peeve to watch online videos of jer*s who can't drive them and make them look bad...

Nice cars and runs. Thanks for the vid.

Watch some of my older vids, the red C5 guy can drive for sure, he's just having hydraulic or trans issues... ZR1 though, dude can flat out drive the **** out of that car. I'd like to see a rematch of them with the red car in full working order.

I know all about it. I had a brand new 6-speed trans placed that my warranty covered and I changed the clutch while the trans was out. My Vette is so much easier to drive and is much quicker off of shifts/at the limit........

The lane change was accommadating for the slight bend that was coming, not just to be Cool,and nobody was aware of the bump that runs across both sides of the hwy across 6 lanes, just happened to go over it unfortunately,

Yeah that bend is no big deal for slower cars, but the speeds they were going it was just a courtesy safe play. The GS actually had to let off for a second and get back on it, that's why he had to play catch up again halfway through the race.

The bump is fun though, it's nice to catch air at those speeds!

Edit: We're definitely talking about two difference races... lol
