Paul's_03SVT said:Benny, yeah it was very nice meeting you. I see you got a KB since the last time we met, congrats. I stopped bringing the camera because when I posted my vids I got BS called on me also or the vid is too dark. I wasn't even gonna post these kills because I figured no one would believe me which hardly anyone did until C6 Z06 came forward.
Just from the reaction here you can see why I don't post about any of my kills, no one would believe them anyways. Yeah I will probably disappear again come Tues school starts back up.
C6 Z06 said:Paul, I'm here to back you up, but first drop the "typical vette owner" thing. I could say the typical Cobra owner, but reality is most that buy NEW vettes are old guys that can afford it and can't drive for shit. They also think "it's a vette, the fastest thing built". Then there's reality. Guy's like me who buy them to drive them.................hard! On the other hand, alot of Cobra owners are younger and the Cobra is very attainable (bang for $), but some of those owners "can't be beat". At least not on the internet (created by Al Gore) :-D . So when you forget the vette owners with dick extensions and Cobra owners greater than God, you get the majority of us (you to I think because your story is truth) that are just out for fun win or lose.
I know the guy you raced in the vette and yes Paul did win. His name is Ron and he's an attorney in Dallas TX. A stand up guy. He said he ran a few times with Paul and that the Cobra pulled about 1/2 a car out front each time.(so don't call BS on him) Ron's vette is a 2005 A4 with 450 RWHP when he ran Paul. He ran with a nitrous tune even though he did not have it anymore(needs a retune) The highest #'s he made were 472/421, but as I said now 450/? . So if you call BS on his kill, I will get Ron to sign up on the forum and post the same(maybe he will even send a legal letter:-D ). Good kills bro. :beer:
A c6 with this setup should run 10.6x's in the 1/4 with tires.PilledV8s said:Good kill on the 403 C6 auto. Luckily for you, it wasn't a 6spd.
NyteByte said:Once had a CTS-V blow by me then and cut in front of me. Sounded like like he at least had exhaust, but not sure about other mods. I got behind him at a light (unfortunately couldn't line up).
When the light turned green, he took off hard. I had to feather the throttle in 1st and short-shift to avoid driving up his tailpipe. Finally I changed lanes and went by him at about 120 and continued to pull one more carlength before shutting down. He kept going.
Those CTS-V's are quick for a luxury sedan. Caddilac makes some good stuff these days. I personally would like to have an XLR-V.
Exactly. For a drag car I would take an auto any day of the week.Robz said:A c6 with this setup should run 10.6x's in the 1/4 with tires.
How would that be interesting? I guess I could post about the 06 mustang GT I raced but would that be interesting on a Ford site?mustangbee said:interesting how ALL yours kills were against GM products... very interesting
Nuke61 said:Good kills, although I'm surprised you pulled on that last Vette since you're so close in power, because I would have guessed the weight difference would have caused the opposite outcome.

It sounds like a high stall convertor would really wake up your car on roll runs.BigRon77 said:I can beat a new Z in the 1/4 (about 1/2-1 car), but it leaves me by 3 cars or so on the hiway rolls (50-150), with nothing but headers and CAI.

BigRon77 said:Yep. 3600 is the preferred street killer. I just had to weigh the time I'd be racing vs. the low rpm lag, and found the 3200 to be what I wanted. It does cost me on the rolls though.
BigRon77 said:Thanks Scott. I assumed it was on one of the 2 main forums, and just scouted it out! Do we get to start an "atypical Vette owners" club???
I'm just happy to have found someone in my area that can put up some good runs and isn't an ass! Now Paul just needs to come back and see our posts.
Sup Ron glad you found this site. We should definately run again when the weather looks better. :beer: Post up a link to your thread that you started.BigRon77 said:Thanks Scott.

C6 Z06 said:Ron, so what's up with lawyers and black vettes! One of my good friends here in VA has a 2005 C6 auto black and all he wants to do is keep modding the car. Can you guess what he does for a living!! :thumbsup:
