it could have been an automatic. The added weight of the GF and an auto could even things up a bit.

that's the advantage of the street race...
he slowed down to let you trought pressing his brakes took away his momentum, while you never let off... it's like him taking off 1-2 seconds after you... so a vette would have to do 12 sec 1/4 to make up our 14.

Good Kill

It was probably auto. I've seen bone stock C5's run high 12's in the 1/4 mile with the 6 speed. Brakes or not, he should have been pulling on you like you were moving backwards, especially once you guys hit 80+mph. Good race. On a similar note, I've got a friend with a C4 with some mods (gears, pullies, intake and exhaust) who I ran through 2nd gear with the other day just fooling around. I had just broken in the '04 and wanted to see what it had. From about 5k RPM up to redline, he only pulled on me about a foot or so, if that. It was very close. I was shocked.
