Default 2014 5.0 vs 2012 Grandsport

Got to run my friends new 6spd corvette . My mods are cat deletes and cough cough Bama tune . He is stock I came in expecting to get yanked up top. We did 5 runs 40-140 I’m happy to say 4 of the runs were dead even and on one run I was able to pull out two cars and hold him there .

Grandsports and downforce. Downforce equals drag. That means the faster you go the more it has to fight ti go faster. They also have bigger brakes and are heavier also meaning slower acceleration. Don't buy a grand sport to drag race unless your a idiot.

Other than that we are back to mooded mustangs keeping up with stock vettes with shitty drivers.
