Default lost to C5

to start off im pretty much a stock M6, just a lid and catback...going down 77 thru hachie i had a C5 in front of me i sped up next to him through him a deuce and we both just kinda sped up at the same time, didnt lose to bad from a 20 roll maybe by a car or a little more up to about 60-70, what mods would i need to beat a stock C5? Im on new raptor tires, and spun through 1st and 2nd for the most part on stock rims...he was a cool guy, older he turned off on to 287, but this was the first kinda race i had, got the car 2 wks ago

if you dont spin you'll prob hang right with a C5 but just do all your bolt ons and you wont even have to worry about them anymore!

I had minor bolt ons, and a stall, and was able to walk one. I have crappy Sumo's so traction is always an issue for me.

I just got lucky though. And was able to pull the win.
