but by then I was reeled in and walked. No replacement for displacement. He had an auto and was seemingly stock. I still must have given him a "WTF" do to my awesome shifting skills....as I shot out like a scolded dog. Had him by half a car all the way until 100.

 

That's still a pretty good job, considering he only had to press on gas pedal.

 

mods?

 

If I were you, I wouldn't be disappointed at all. The C5 is just a straight out beast. Now trying to be mean here but I hope you didn't expect to beat him.

So are you saying that from a stop you had him by half a car to 100mph?

If so then I don't just call I'm lying on the floor laughing my bag off!

First off an auto Vette, in most drivers hands, is quicker off the line than a stick driven by the average joe who has no idea how to feather a launch by a 3300 pound car with 350 foot lbs of torque.
Secondly even stock we are talking a vehicle that only weighs about 400 lbs more than your S and that has over 100hp more and almost double your torque.

I am laughing so hard cause I can just picture this guy letting you pull ahead just to reel you back in.

 

when i stock comptech supercharged, i raced an auto C5 and stayed neck to neck from 45-100. This was a roll race though, with no launch to mess up..
