Damn, that Z06 walked all over the TA. Nice races. I believed you, it's just bizarre. Although you could see in the last race that it was the gears giving the Mach1 the jump at the beginning, and then it kind of hung there. GO GEARS!!!

best thing you can do to a 3rd gen is pull the gen 1 sb and upgrade it to an lt1 or lsx motor most of those cars weigh down in the low 3xxx's with an ls1 you have a mid to high 12 sec car

I'm not trying to down you but I think he may have takin you if you all where to line straight up. In the video it looked like you where about a half a car ahead when you honked it off and you had the hit. But he was pulling on you.

I think that's the general concensus.

Unless it was ordered differently that z has 2.73s.

If he really has 7k in an sbc and only makes that much it is kinda sad. He could have bought an ls1 for that!!!

yeah I was half a car ahead and he was pulling the whole way. I did have a 210 lbs passenger. not sure how much that would ahve changed the outcome.
