I'm going to make one more comment.
Most of you in here have never had you car up at that speed. You've never seen the roads in Dubai or the curve. His S has an 11.25 compression ratio stock and the octanes a lot higher there.
At 150 mph it's the driver as much as the car, that takes balls. I can easily see the vette backing off in the curve. I'm not encouraging 150 mph racing either.
What I'm trying to do is discourage some of the crap in here. The name calling etc.
I don't know what gives you all the right to play God and sit in judgement on everyone.
Maybe it's time the ones I'm talking about in here do a little retrospective thinking before they next post instead of sounding like a bunch of uneducated bigots.

I'm not sure about his race, but your comment is the most mature on here. I do agree that a lot of biggotry infested in this thread. This is like earlier times, when Negroes were hated against and lynched, but now the hatred is concentrated on all Middle Easterns. It's interesting to observe human nature.
No, from a book.

The whole damn place is sand. You need sand to make glass. If we add abunch of heat ie. a nuke. Your land turns into a sheet of glass and I get gas for .50 cents a gallon

Whether this gentlemen was telling the truth or not, I am very ashamed of some of your comments.

Let me be the first to say that I don't believe he made the story up. But I do believe that the Vette owner was new to the car, not used to it and didn't push it that hard. I also believe that he was breaking in the car and didn't want to push it that hard. If this story did occur, it doesn't mean the S2000 is faster than a C6 in any sense. It was just his encounter with many possibilities of occurences.
