C5s are slow

The only thing Ive raced since I got my car running was a new C5 Corvett. I got smoked by one a month ago before the blower so I had a grudge. Well suffice to say with that kinda torque and the 6speed he mached me top speed across the Howard Franklin. But slowing down to a rolling punch on the bridge was a joke. I gave him two cars then just reeled him in. Now if I can just find that 300Z TT that smoked me a few months back on Tampa Road in Oldsmar I have a little something for him. That car was fast and he just played with me. Revenge?

The C5 hung with your S/C GT top end? Is yours centrifugally charged?

Yup when you consider I was in 5th at over 5000 I must have been moving. With my gear I didnthave much more on the top end.The Vet was under powered but has an extra gear. I was able to pull away in third and walk away. I would have loved to get a light with it.Maybe this weekend if I get my car back.

I would think you should trash a C5 top end with your setup. How many pounds of boost are you running?
But at 5000 rpm in 5th aerodynamics are playing a huge role. Thats probably why he hung with you.

The car is in the bodyshop till next week. I just got the kit on stockpulley maybe 8psi. Still alot of power to be found with a bit of tuning. Looking foward to getting it to Bradenton I dont know where those C-5s wind out but I have a gear too. so my top end is limmited.I destroyed him from 45 to about 120 or so.
98NOSCOBRA that would be fun maybe when I get it back. Those ( stock) Cobras can be pretty fast though..........

When you race 98NOSCOBRA make him run 15 times in a row. That way youll kill his bottle and win with ease...hehehehhehehehe.
