Howd I pull a c6?
Howd I pull a c6? Id like to know how I pulled a c6 yesterday in my "stock" cts-v ls6? Maroon convertible c6, punched from 55-95....pulled about 3/4 of a car on him. No driver error as he was AUTO 
..... just like to know how I did so, considering the equal power, and the weight factor. This is the 2nd c6 vert I have pulled on EXACTLY in the same manner from the same speed. Some good input would be appreciated. I have the feeling I just have happened to run into 2 c6's with the "shitty" gearing, however I thought that the "shitty" gearing was rare, and had to be optioned by the purchaser. btw, this was definetly ls2, not an ls3

I would say since you are a manual you'd have him to about 100-110 then his weight and aero advantage would take over.
The tune on a C6 is very conservative, and really holds those cars back. A mildly modified C6 Vette that I drove (headers, Corsa, Vararam, and a tune) pulled harder than my more heavily modded SS when I drove it, so they certainly have the potential in them with just a few good parts.

thats a dumb response, I didnt know racing cars was like playing poker???? My guess is electronic throttle control doing its own thing and not opening up all the way when told to do so.
Could have been a slow track that day too...all the times I've been to a track, the DA was so high that all cars were running like **** all day long. Stockish six speed F-bodies were trapping about 103-104 all day long...

I took one by three cars up to 70 in my stock car. Simple in my case though, I stalled and launched it, got it to hook, whereas he just tried flooring it straight out the gate. I had better reaction time too.
