I dont think it was setup, or there was driver error, the vette was shifting like an automatic. and they were up there in speed and that s2000 was way out, give us some credit on boost man...

my turbo integra or my friends turbo civic could eat the new vettes all day long, we can't take the Z06's on pump gas, but high boost race gas we can edge them out. this is all from a roll, of course.

if you listen, the Vette short-shifted or something right before he started cursing, then downshifted again. If you watch the tach, he's not even winding it out before the shifts. I don't know what's up, but driver error seems to be the culprit.

The C6 downshifted, then upshifted, upshifted again, "God damn it, SOB!", and downshifted again.

Sounded like the C6 was def. an auto, and the driver messed up.

But I do think that a Vortech S2K can keep up with a stock C6 pretty well or maybe even beat one depending one which model the C6 is.

C6 should put down around 340whp. Blown S2K is around what.. 290-305 w/ aftercooler? Should be able to give it a run for the money due to the weight advantage, but I don't see it winning from a roll.
