Default Nice C6

make the story short, i was in my little area for races and a C6 was in a parking lot so i waited for the guy to come out. I followed him to the street and the first run i put my car in 2nd and he jumped the gun but i was right their with him. the second run we went at the same time and we were dead even. i thought these were rated at 400HP?

They are, but think about it. With your mods I bet your putting out around 400hp at the crank, or around 330-340 at the rear wheels. He should be a couple hundred pounds lighter though. I would expect an FBody with your mods to be a very close race. A stock LS1 Fbody would get owned, drivers being equal.

The vette should have pulled on you some since he's lighter, but you're putting out about the same HP as he is. Maybe he had a full tank of gas, was fat, and had his at wife in the car with him?

haha, good run man!

To add another one on the list he might not have been broken in yet. LS2's probly wake up after about 5,000 miles similar to the LS1's.

Depends on the driver. Saw one guy at Atco who had a black C6. He ran a 13.6 @ 104mph
