I think when a car is slow at a track, it probably doesn't magically gain horsepower on the street. Agreed?

Think of it as having great traction.
Shit, even if you have snow tires on, you can still pull a sub 2 sec 60' times. Imagine trying to do that shit on a FWD.
for a good time slip.

Ha ha, I put my stock wheels and STOCK tires on and was still hitting 1.8xx 60' times easily.

No flames intended, just stating some facts based on my personal experiences. My car ran, bone stock, 13.01 @ 109 mph.
Judging from what was said, the C5 (if 6spd) at 120 mph, would be right around or a little over the limiter in 3rd. He still has all of 4th & 5th, which are good pull gears, even in a stock C5, and should top out around 172 mph. Just to give you an idea, my car, on motor alone, dynos 180 rwhp IN 6th GEAR! I personally don't like high speed races, unless I'm on a wide open hwy, then it's fair game. So my best guess is that the guy was just messing with you bro.
Anyway, it's all good when you have fun, but keep it safe!
