Default Raced a C6....

One the way home i see this C6 casually pass me in the left lane. I pull up to check it out, guy look relatively young so i say to my self, why not see how fast an LS2 is? We find a clearing and i make my intentions clear. He laughs and jumps on it without waiting. I follow suit. I was actually amazed i hung with him. From about 80, we only took it up to about 105. at that point he had about 1.5 cars on me. Pretty fast though, i won't be racing those again till i get my h/c.

Nice. I've been wondering how well i'd fare against one. I guess we've got similar mods, but i hope i can take one from a stop.

Very similar mods. Hope you got some good tire for that one, I drove a C6 Z51 at the chevy ride and drive and these things could launch pretty good. But i do think it is entirely possible since i was able to do a comparison. Better driver could very well take a C6 from a dig.

Very similar mods, since my other mods don't really help up top (SFC, LCA, etc.). Hope you got some good tire for that one, I drove a C6 Z51 at the chevy ride and drive and these things could launch pretty good.

I did a short sprint against my friends (moms) C6 from a roll up until like 70. I stuck with him pretty good, from a 40-120 race I could see a bolt on LS1 hanging dead even with an LS2.

EDIT: HEY IT'S DYLAN!! hey phucker.
