How to beat a C5
A friend of mine has a C5 2004 (stick) with a corsa catback. I have an auto (i know, autos suck) 97 ws6 with only flow (i know, flows suck to, i didnt put them on) catback and a k/n. What mods (cheap in nature) could i get to beat him? Thanks,
Josh

Your friend is going to have a serios weight advantage besides his hp advantage
LTs, SLP loudmouth catback, Shift kit, 3.73s, DRs, and a cam with some good tuning and you have him.

If you let the tires slip out a little bit,just ever so slightly your runna run really hard out the back door and your 60' will only lack a little.

ok u said cheap mods right...i heard a shop can make a stock convertor into a 2800 stall by "loosing it up"...then of course get gears and good tires that should get u in 13.6-13.8...complete exhaust system, intake, and small shot of nitrous in the 12's...if im not mistakin a c5 is in the mid to high 12's right...this should give u an idea....now if u have money a 12 bolt(gears and slicks), exhaust system, cai, free mods, small nitrous should be plenty...by the way what is the other guy running for sure.

Thanks, im thinking-
Lt's, Loudmouth catback, gears, stall. I hope to cam it, but that will be some time. Im not big on nitrous (well, the ole lady isnt anyway), so im going to wait to race him (it would be at a quarter mile track)/

cheapeast way is to buy a baseball bat and smack it a few times. thats about the only way your gonna beat a C5 on the cheap. sorry, but the mods listed while not cheap will get you close.
