on a 2 lane highway and we both got ahead of traffic after a light turned green. he punched it around 55-60 and i did the same. i started out about 4 cars behind him since he cleared traffic a second before i did. After a few moments i was gaining on him at 90 mph with my top down then i see him brake and i figured i made my point so i let off too. he guns it again out of nowhere so the same thing happens i start reeling him in but this time he doesnt stop and takes it to around 120. i could have passed him easily it seemed. (but im always afraid that if something bad is going to happen, it wll happen to the guy in front.) i kept my distance all the way to the next light, it was yellow and there was no chance of making it so i slow down and think i might be able to talk to this guy. guess again. he blows through the red light. the end.

my car is stock except for the vortech w/ ac setup. the vette had some sort of aftermarket exhaust and that was all i could tell.

 

Pretty impressive. You know if it was an auto or stick?

 

nice kill, how much boost do you run with your setup?

 

cool...now try racing a C6

 

If I had to guess I would say auto, I have killed c5's before and they were much tougher than this one.

I have the stock vortech with aftercooler kit, its at 7.5 psi.

I would do it just for a better look at one. They are amazing.

 

He might not have downshifted. Some drivers are lazy that way. The low end power of standard C5's are really close to the low end of the C5 Z06 on a dyno. They don't separate much until rev's rise.

 

A z06 is nite/day faster than a regular C5. With shorter gears and a more power its almost a full second quicker in the quarter. Try running a few and see for yourself. The C6's are a little slower below 100 but definately quicker up top.... but i've only raced a few

 

I agree, a regular C5 has no chance against a properly driven Z06.
