Default 2006 Vert C6

Had a red C6 pull up on me on my way to lunch he rolled down his window while we were rolling up to the light and he was with his buddy and goes i got nitrous man ill beat you i was like ohh cool.So the light turns green there are 2 cars infront of us we let them go as were slowly creeping just trin to hear him over my LT and True duals I see him get even with me and mash it lucky im in 1st still and nail it pull about 1/2 a car on him and shift to 2nd with about 3/4 of a car on him midway through 2nd and had to shut it down before a 3rd gear shift due to cars. he pulled back up threw me a thumbs up and took off. That was my 2nd C6 kill so hard to find someone to run one of thoes damn things usually older dudes or ladies going 45 in them. Drive the damn thing like it was ment to be.

Nice Kill. I flat stomped a red 06 C6 with an older dude driving it. It was funny. He thought I said I only had headers. It was great to have a C6 to run. Great story. I luv to race vettes.

No its a built up C5 zo6 clutch i can say it is alot better than my old stock one. I was thinking of going to the LS7 clutch after i put the cam in but this one is perfect for a full bolt on car.

Thanks, my buddy who builds 1400+ rwhp drag cars is researching the best clutch for my set up. We are looking for the best clutch to handle up to 700 rwhp. Only for when I add the sc or tt's. He's recommending an automatic. It makes the most sense, I just can't give up the m6 for now. I've heard the LS7 ( or 06 C6 Z06) is the way I need to go from 1 source.
