So last Sunday I was coming home from Church in the TransAm. I see this red C6 coming up on my rear. We both turn to get on the highway. I have always wanted to race one of those so I descided to be the jerk this time and throw some revs at the guy. Well he bought it. I passed a truck (luckily the only traffic on the road) and moved over and slowed down to 20-30 mph to let the guy come up beside me. I rolled the window down to talk and that fool took off on me. I hammered the gas but by that time he was a good two cars ahead. The instand I hit the gas he stopped pulling and I slowly crept up on him. By third gear I was on his bumper. Then in fourth I put a couple of cars on him and let off. It felt great to beat a C6. He was a cool guy he let me run out my car till I passed him. I think he just wanted to see If I could do it. We gave each other a wave and went out separate ways. I wish everyone was that cool. He could have easily let out sooner and claimed victory.

 

Nice job!! Way to take down a ~400 HP rig!!

C6's have some serious computer/tuning issues IMO ... they don't seem to perform nearly as well as they should, especially in comparison to the C5 Z06's that shine with "only 5 HP" more .

Obviously you've got a good working LT1 .

 

can you say those together? I mean... I thought that saying that was against like an unwritten rule

good kill.... I'm assuming you sprayed?

 

bt,
Do you have H/ C on the bird or did you spray him with the NX kit?
I might be totally out in left field, but think he should have put a hurting on you. Just my observation.

 

full bolt-on = around 300 horse + 150 shot = around 450 horse. 450 horse TA>400 horse C6 vette. Besides it's not like I flew past him easily. It took a couple of gears. It was a good race.

 

Thats what we needed to hear. Very feesable in that case.

 

Remember that the c5 Z06 has much better gearing and it weighs 200 lbs. less. It also comes with non-emt tires. It should be a few tenths and mph faster.

 

you need to trade me those 11' zr1s for my 9.5's....you would have smoked him with the lower rolling resistance....j/k nice kill.

 

Nah, I think I will hold onto them for a while. Just buy some their not that high. Maybe we should race and see if that resistance matters. Should be close.
