Nice kill, but what did it look like top end? It doesn't take a ton of power to beat a C6 Z06 out of the whole through the first two gears or so, but once they get going, could be trouble.

Just curious since it was hard to tell in the video.

And also what kind of power is your car putting down? It must move like a **** at that weight and with the LSX stroker.

Nice, I figured he'd slow it down top end, but your car looks like it runs strong.

I can't change it.. I haven't had the opportunity to go to the 1/4 Mile to get an update.. plus I still need a Tune Adjustment..

What.. a 12 sec car can't beat a mid 11 sec car?
