There was no 3 honk racing with the C6 ZO6.......427ci optioned car. lol
The C5 ZO6 race I did hear some honks and again was alot closer then stealing the move, but you were a car out to start with. You can see him on the other side of that one car in the middle lane and ZO6 in the slow lane.
In that race though pulls a car back on you, slow shifts and lets out. That race was like 4 seconds!
lol
Not trying to jump your ****, just pointing out some things in this vid. Very fast car you have for sure and props to it. Get that input shaft fixed and make some more vids. I'd like to see it on race gas, sure its a monster!
Peace,
Craig.

Well said. You can't have a fair race if you just randomly accelerate up to WOT without the other car knowing when to. Typical ricer if you ask me
I bet if another race was done right he wouldn't put a car on him.

I guess the neon guy shouldn't have been picking on these vettes on pump gas. It wasn't fair seeing as how he is giving up 4+ liters of engine to both cars. :blahblahblah:
Tech has some of the biggest domestic ricers ever. They raced for fun. All parties had fun. blah blah so what. Nice vid to those involved. Hopefully next time you can be a little more organized in your racing with 3 honks and what not.

i was in the outside slow lane and from where i was i couldnt hear a horn of any kind, both cars were already out on me and yes the neon always started a fender ahead of '07 and almost a car ahead of me in the 3rd race. if that POS car didnt pull out in my lane i would have stayed in it and made it a good race. i was having problems with my BPP shifter, put new springs in it, helped a little bit. i just had a clutch put in, not sure if there is a shift rod or linkage adjuster or something, i need to find out tomorrow. 350 miles on the clutch and yes i granny shifted and never took the motor to redline, shifting at 6k rpms, being conservative, i didnt want to break anything.

Cool that all of you guys are buds, lets see some more vids when you guys can.
If the Neon is mega nasty then make it a fair race and let one of the ZO6's have the move for a change.
Also, if a 3-way race is going down the car in the middle should honk.
Peace,
Craig.

Billet input shaft, and race gas................................. Well from a roll a 777, is going to lose, and pull a ricer fly by. 
I can see from a slow roll the vettes advantage put a few cars on the skittle, but 4th and 5th, will be the ====izer!!! another almost 300 more whp with race gas, stupid fast, just left the building! I own a stg3, and I wouldn't care if it said Ace & Gary and it looked like a dick, it puts a smile on my face, my advice to you, taste the rainbow!!!!
now that's quality

And everyone can be made out to be giving ricer excuses but not in this case.
Listen! We have two cars that have nearly twice the liters and 4 extra cylinders and your complaining about a little jump start! They ran far enough for both vettes to run him down. But as you see in the vids, they didnt. You can tell when someone accelerates. There's no turbo lag for you to wait on like the srt-4, just instant power. So for you to assume that it was some form of cheating is crazy.

This was the 2nd best quote.
Lord forbid someone not know what engine is available in a car they don't own.
#1 was when Charger had the audacity to say let the Corvette's have the move..
Asking for the move on a Neon? C`mon now. It's just a skittle boys.
edit:
HOLY CRAP 25psi, a 600+hp MR2? That has to be butt loads of fun.... I remember when the last body style came out my neighbor snagged one of the turbo models. It was a great little car!

Here is an idea, dont race in traffic. And some people wonder why the law is so hard on street racers.
