Every single time you get bitch slapped, your only response is something about my build. Just say: "I don't have a response to that because you're right" or something along those lines...it'd be less pathetic.
If your gonna talk **** about said car you should atleast be able to outrun a bolt-on one with a h/c/i car like yours.

BTW....I do the bitch slappin around here.

My preference is x-pipe, but it doesn't matter. The 5.0 did fine.
Sure the 5.0 did fine. Nothing wrong with the way that car ran. But to think a short roll tells that tale is asinine. Why be pissed??....it won against a modded car. How do you think a dig race would've went?

Keep proving my point, little Dougie My car has ZERO to do with it...you're wrong, and the only response you can come up with is about my car because you KNOW I'm right about the Camaros. K thanks!

The C7 won? Damn, the fan boys are nit picking. So let me get this straight, we're quantifying wins based on inches now? Please. You know better.

I think a dig would've been fine. That C7 auto is so slow off the roll it would absolutely be in its element from a dig... until it shifts, right?

slightly more than inches...to assume that the mustang won in that race is ludicrous. did the vette win by a car?? no. but from that camera's view point, if the mustang were winning, you'd see a lot more of that corvette than what's shown in frame.

just calling a spade, a spade.

Not seeing it. Watched the video again and the 'Vette started half a car ahead and ended half a car ahead. Inches if you count that final shift a second before the run ends. So, to recap for everyone, from 40-120 the 'Vette didn't pull an inch on an intake/tune 5.0. That sucks...

Not sure what else there is to cover here...

No such thing. The Mustang was Ford's response to the Corvette. Camero doesn't exist...until it's faster again...

No no, you're right. Looked at the video a little more closely. Seems to be about 1/4 of a car. True, wasn't paying enough attention to the C7's strong pull.

Start


Finish

Not sure what the big deal is here? The modded 5.0 ran hard and did really well but it still got beat?

"But it's ONLY xxx amount of modifications" So what? It's still a modified car and we all know just how much a tune does for performance when talking about the 5.0

What happens when the C7 does the same "cheap" mods? Oh, let me guess, "But but but IT'S A CORVETTE!"

Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning.

You make my point for me. In every thread you yak about a fif gen and how awful you think they are. All at the same time your build will be lucky to be within 5 cars of a proper bolt-on fif gen. What does that make your car if fif gens are so awful?

Just like fif gens had nothing to do with this thread........until you brought them up.

A 1LE and a 5.0 is a good race. The major flaw with the 5th gen SS m6 performance wise besides weight is gearing. 1LE fixes that problem. Too bad more people with them don't post or drag race them. I have to say like a GTO,5th gens are despised by most car fanatics. I have problem launching one without wheelhop as well. I am sure there is a fix for that.

Snakes build has nothing to do with 5th gen having a bad rap. So no one can bad mouth a 5th gen unless they own a modded faster car? That is silly. I should hope a bolt on LS3 could beat a mild heads cam 302/06.

Oops, just saw "bolt on". Even so, I think he'd pull out the win against the majority of bolt on fifth gens. In any event, Mike's point stands...the argument is kinda silly.

Sure. Both are high 12 second cars with a stick. A base 5.0 has the edge.

I don't think the C7 was being driven to it's potential.
Good run though.
