Default Killed C6 on my way to havasu!

Out on the 40 frwy on my way to havasu i roll up on a black c6 vert. Personalized plate that said something like Jers vet. Anyways i was behind him b/c there were trucks in the slow lane, we went from about 80 and he got the jump obviously b/c he was in front, at the end we were up to 160 and had i about 8ish cars on him. cool guy, gave me a thumbs up as i passed him lol

Mods?

What's up with all the convertible Vettes? The targa ones look 1000X better.

I agree. But then again I may be biased on the subject. I haven't run into a C6 vert owner who wasn't under the age of 55.

To the OP what mods do you have? 8 CL's on a C6 is a ton. Nice kill.

Im sorry that guy in the c6 want really getting on it or is one of the worst drivers i have ever seen. It takes way more than 401rwhp to pull 8 lengths on a c6.

Why would having his top down at 100+ make a difference?? Everything should be just fine....

i can attest to verts falling on thier face top down.


the goat and i are not that far from being just as fast as eachother, after 120ish my car is just down hill slow with the top down haha.

My post was sarcasm. If the driver was stupid enough to race someone at those speeds with his top down then he deserved to get his *** handed to him.....

We have a drag coeffeicient ratio .32 which is not too bad really when it comes to aerodynamics. Yes I know a C6 has .28

Honestly the C6's loss isn't really anything to be doubtful about. Too many variables when racing on the street. Be reasonable, this is not an apocryphal story. Good kill.

Tomato... TomAto

A win is a win.

Good kill.
