Bad launch and still killed it lol, if he did it right the vette should never have been in front. still wicked fast car, how many psi?

[Rollogic]

@jasonkabbes Not too sure I think prolly around low 30ish PSI.

that gsx's 2nd gear power is rediculousss

@peteq1972 I wouldn't know the cosmetic difference. Well I definitely agree with you, but a Z06 is just a beast, yea stock but is fast right out of the factory.

[peteq1972]

@dalesocks Oh right, you can see this is a z06 from the little rear window & long back end (i think the z06 are that shape), so the GSX has been modded nice!

[dalesocks]

@peteq1972 Z06 are pretty fast stock. I was implying if it was a regular c5. 

[peteq1972]

@dalesocks Factory performance figures for the 405 hp (302 kW) version of the Z06 give an acceleration time from 0-60 mph as 3.9 seconds. While highly debatable, owner-drivers have recorded quarter-mile times in the 11.7 - 11.9 seconds. The lowest elapsed time reported in a 405 hp (302 kW) Z06 of 11.783 seconds at 116.90 mph seconds was recorded by Jarrod Cunningham at Houston Raceway Park on January 10, 2004. ~ wikipedia.

@peteq1972 They are quick but an ls1 c5 won't run mid 12 or high12 stock. Kinda look like what it wan there.

[peteq1972]

@Sasori327 What like only UNsupercharged V8s :)

[peteq1972]

@dalesocks True. But Corvettes are pretty quick out the factory anyway and that one didn't look any faster than other vettes you see, and they're only naturally aspirated too. You'd know if the vette had work done.

[dalesocks]

@peteq1972 How you know that one is not stock? It could have work done to it.

[peteq1972]

lmao, my buddy highly modded his car so it could beat a corvette, otherwise NO chance! Why not highly mod the vette too and run again?

@Sasori327 the grease weighed it down and the fish popped out of the exhaust in 2nd gear lol
