Well I don't do too much street racing for the obvious reason's, plus there arent many cars around my area.
However, my co-worker and I have been back and forth for years now with vette's and mustangs. He has been building up his C5 and it's a beast.
I just got my gt500 back from a port/tune/pulley and a few other stuff. Most of the mods are in sig. His C5 is slammed, mild cam, heads, Vortech charged, long-tubes and the works. Sounds like a freaking indy car compared to my nascar sounding O/R X.
We both drove them to work today and had to do a quick run. We both were like... "This is a bad idea... but how can we not.?" We are insurance agents for Christ sake.
The run: around 35-140
I was honking it off and he slammed it before I got the 3rd honk in so it gave him a jump. He had me by a door just from the jump and we traded doors up to about 110 and he started inching me after we got into 4th.
Shifts by all were smooth and neither one of us missed a gear. I may have granny shifted a bit into 3rd being all excited and all around 6k, where i may should have taken to it 6300 or soo.. happens so fast hard to tell.
If we both hit the go pedal at the same time I think I may have inched him up to 100 or so and then traded off again.
Those damn light little vette's piss me off!
But we only got 1 run in for the sake of rolling away clean and we will have more to come this summer. I want to do more of 50 roll and then an ol fashion dig race.
