LOL. Its all relevant big dog. Haha I know you would leave me in the dust, but you and I both know that when the race gets up to high speed, the superior design of the vette (for high speed) will start to pull your *** (not my vette, but one that is just a somwhat less in hp than you) hard.
Unit what's up with the no response to my Mustang. You give me **** and then don't even gimme a thumbs up on the Stang (I bought it for myself, when I was going to sell my VR4, but I gave it to the wife so I could get a vette), and it hurts my little feelings
. Well, I'm waiting,.....

much of a factor. Top speed is boring to me. Acceleration is what
I enjoy.

nice kill, thought you were running a 70-75 shot though or did you recently up it to 90?

So quit trying to make it seem the Mustang is better than a vette, bc it isn't.

My coil-overs help.

Im willing to bet his GT is somewhere in the 330rwhp/400rwtq range, prob weights between 3500-3600 with him in it. Certainly enough to beat some stock C5's, but I bet a properly driven stock 6-speed could give him a good run and possibly beat him.
Yeah, well a little spray of the ***** juice usually gets the job done. I had a run in with a new R1 on the highway the other day and I thought the guy was kidding, he would have murdered my ***. I also saw the Patrick Stephens Freestyle convoy rolling with those guys on the bikes. I used to stunt 50s with some of those guys, fun times.
He said he laid down 366 on the spray in an earlier post, so I don't think a stock C5 will pose much of a threat to him until the stang shifts into 5th. At that point it doesn't matter IMO. He said he was running 975 psi on the bottle so we will just say like 350 to the wheels. He'd still win and obviously knows his car well.

...maybe with a **** driver in the vette.... otherwise, it would be a close race. Given EQUAL drivers, i'd say it would be a stalemate... Stock C5 is what, 3200...3300? a stang is what?..3600? The vette will lay down what, 310rwhp? The stang 360rwhp?
Stalemate. Unless one driver is better then the other.
Doesn't matter.... the mustang won, the corvette lost. Life goes on.

I won't install a cage so I won't be back. My last pass there I ran
an 11.0 @ 130mph while standing on the brakes to try to slow down
to greater than 11.50 so I could keep running. That was on blower only.
I don't think I'll be hitting the track with this car anymore.
