If you have the novi 1000 @ 10 lbs Im assuming ur somewhere near 350rwhp. I dont think thats enough. if ur running the novi 1200 then its another story. I think maybe 400rwhp may do the trick.

If you can run high 11s with your combination, you should have a reasonable chance.

There had better be no way he paid 73k for a grandsport, you can get a z06 for less then that. And beating a grandsport in a straight line is no better then a base C6. The GS was upgraded for handling not power.

He never said they were slow, I don't see where he wrote that. Read his post. He said that beating a gran sport is no better than a base C6.
