I'm on my way home and I roll up behind this c5 vette with this fiberglass wing type deal, rims and exhaust. Hes BLASTING his music away so I wait for the song to end and it does, so I rev it up, and he follows. He Revved the **** out of this thing. It's an auto because when we were at teh light he took his foot off the gass a few times and he rolled foward (on a flat road). So we move along after the light turns green, and I'm shifting into second, and I hear him hit it. So I also do, and to my surpise I rode up on his rear, pretty hard. We went from like 30-60ish. And I had to let up on the gas to avoid hitting him. WTF? Somethings not right.

 

i dont believe he was really going at it.....my mom has a c6 vette and i promise.....even with your mods.....its not gonna get the c6

 

Sorry typo, it was a c5

 

Oh ok....well in that case i have no experience driving the c5

 

i've seen 3 in action all lined up next to me. They ride around the city in a group one was stock but the others omg. Trust me something was wrong becuase they are scary fast make you wonder if you are even moving lol.

 

I love when i race cars like this... after u lose, u know u always try it again just so you can watch this bad ass car rip u in half and be like "god I want one" or "god i need to build my car"

 

Really base C5s arent that fast, they are mid to low 13 second cars with average drivers, sad to say MOST Corvette drivers can't drive the car so they end up being high 13 low 14 second cars.

 

you mentioned he had exhaust work done. perhaps it sounded like he nailed it when in fact he didn't???

 

+1 If I know I'm gonna get torn apart....it kinda makes me want to race more. Just so I can see it happen. There is never a shortage of fast cars, but it's always interesting to watch a very fast car do what it's supposed to....be fast.

 

Stock C5 = Bellybutton (everyone has one and they are overrated)

 

Where do people on this site get their facts??

 

real life experience?

 

So this guy has seen MOST Corvette drivers run their cars? Holy ****..thats a lot of Corvettes.


Dude, I seriously cant argue with you on 2 different threads, im bored..but not that bored.

 

and how cant he drive if its a auto?? lol

 

+1

 

I never claimed it to be a "fact" all I was stating was personal experience. I go to the track quite often and Ive seen numerous Corvettes race and I have raced many myself. Hell I saw 2 C6s at Osceola run 14s. Im not saying thats what the cars run with a good driver but I must say most of the Vette owners Ive seen cant drive their cars. To be honest with you most Corvette owners are older guys that buy them just to cruise around in and then the others are guys with alot of money but no skill at driving.
