just before your about to start the race yell at the top of your lungs COPS!!! and then take off-- then you will get the jump on him enough to keep swerving back and forth in front of him for the win!

I had the priveledge of seeing what these are capable of. I was in 6th on the expressway right behind him. Out of no where, his *** end drops so I try to shift to 3rd and hit 5th. By the time I get it in 3rd gear and punch it he's 10 cars ahead. By the time I hit 120 he was a spec on the road. I was amazed, but I just wish I could have been beside him and hit it at the same time to get a true perspective.

Yeah you're gonna lose, you already know that. Surprise him with a 100 shot , still won't win, but hang with him a lot better.

In all honestly he wont "disappear in the horizon," but you will get ******* stomped. He will pull at first, then when u think, hell I didn't get beat that bad, he will pull even harder.

I did although race one in my L98 and lost by a car, but that without my 200 shot

But i'm only about 395/ 400 w/o my 200 shot

In my case, he got a 2 second jump and went over a hill. By the time I hit the peak of the hill at 120 he was easily a football field ahead. I got off the next exit and cleaned the jizz off my pants.

LOL I'll pass on that idea. My idea of fun doesn't consist of purely a straight line. And no offense to the terminators, but they are some tanks compared to the next performance car I will be buying... a c5 z06

It will look like you are standing still. Don't even bother, really! Will be a waste of gas for both of you.

Don't do it.

It sounds like a good idea now, "just for fun" and all, but after it occurs you will be seriously dissapointed with your car.

No it wont be. It will be close but i think he would get in the end. Unless you do some weight reduction on the SS

C6 ZO6 going forwards = 30+ car lengths
C6 ZO6 going in reverse = 15+ car lengths

Either way you're screwed
