ran a older man in a yellow c5, we went from a 25-90 roll, i gave him the jump and ended with 2.5-3 cars. as i turned off i gave him a honk and a wave and got a thumbs up in return. also he was the one who instigated(sp)the race.

 

nice kill on a C5

 

nice kill. how much horses is the c5 pushing? (Approx.)

 

a stock c5 depending on the year and tranny will put down the same as an f-body. around 280-320. its the same engine, the only reason c5 are a little faster is the weight difference and the aerodynamics.

 

Good Kill and good sportsmanship by the both of you

 

you didnt spray did u?

 

no i didn't spray him.

 

its always great when the underdog takes the kill.

 

correct me if I am wrong but doesnt the c5 (stock v. stock) have more rwhp than f-bodies do due to drive train? I am aware that the crank hp is the same. I am talking aobut rwhp.

 

No, usually f-bodies dyno more because they have a solid axle vs IRS on a vette.
