I KNOW the C5 pulls hard through the entire RPM range... I also know the LT1 does NOT. But this LT5 SURPRISED the FOOL out of me. wow... Kinda makes me want one now.
lol "I´m not catching him". too bad if you´re fighting a vette in a vette huh ? no aerodynamic advantage unless it´s a C1-C3 vette you´re racing :P
the C4 is one hell of an aerodynamic beast. that´s why it was the base car for the Sledgehammer C4 which was the fastest land vehicle on earth back in 1988 till 2007 (SSC Ultimate Aero) since the Sledgehammer reached 411kmh under normal road conditions. long live the C4 !
Both are great cars. ZR1 was amazing in its run. Wish they would have run a lower rear gear ratio. It had such high revs but not enough gear to pull it through. Just a set of gears or better gear in the ZR1 wakens it up even more.
too funny. I'm the guy driving the silver C5. Matt was driving the ZR-1. I miss my old C5, but I love my '08 C6. Those were my stupid younger days, though I still hit triple digits frequently, but no more GB Tollway bombing runs at 2am. :)
Oh your the one driving that C5...Awesome man! This is actually the first car racing video I ever saw on a computer! This was before youtube even came around. I always wondered, what year was this C5? I always wanted to know if it was the 97-00' (345 HP/350 TQ) or the 01'+ (350 HP/375 TQ) C5? Thanks and great video!!
@IrishChris1979 Yeah, I think the guys from Racing freaks posted it originally on their now defunct website. The C5 was a 2001 and it had intake, headers, and exhaust at this point. I added 4.10 gears later. Matt's ZR-1 ran strong, it was always fun to race him.
@IrishChris1979 Actually have an LS9 now. Obviously a big Vette fan. LS1, LS3, and now LS9. They keep getting better which is amazing because they've been stout motors since the LT1.

That is great to see. Although the newer Vettes have more technology, etc, I still think the C4's look better. The C4's just look sleeker. The C5's have a "big ass." I know this is because the tranny is in the back now, but still... it needs to trim the rear end.
@LT1HILLINGHOE yep. Hard to believe it almost never happened. If it wasn't for all those people shelling out major bucks for the LT5, GM would have never made the DOHC Northstar, the Aurora (technically the same engine if you ask me), or the production based IRL engine which was the most powerful in the series when Chevrolet pulled out of competition there.
The ZR1 are badass. and you two raced for 30 seconds at full throttle. My car can reach almost 150 in 30 seconds..so you two must have been about to lift off. 175? 180?

Uh... Yeah there are two people in the C5. Of cousre it's pulled away a little faster. But once they got going the ZR-1 didn't pull away.
