Default C3 vs Z06

Street raced a Z06 on the weekend.

He took me off the line.
I had wheel spin and he did not.

Stayed with him after that.

Would have been better with my drag radials.


Could have would have

Should not steet race.

How far behind were you? If you run high 12's on DR's & were on street tires, that puts you into the 13's. A ZO6 w/ only a decent driver should go mid 12's on street tires. He should have beat you bad.

He had me off the line by a car length. From then I could not run him down nor did he pull away. I run high 12's with street tires. fYI

Your sig says you run drag radials & run high 12's. Isn't that on DR's?
