Default Test runs in a TT C5 Z06 making 1300whp, and my Hennessey C7

Getting ready for the mile this weekend, and had a final tweak done with the tune...so, went out to try it a bit yesterday. First rode with a friend in his TT LS6 Z06 making 23psi and about 1250whp in this little run...having to feather because of poor tires. I went 2nd from 30-140ish running against my buddy in his mildly modded Cobalt SS turbo car. We weren't racing but he was the video guy, and was trying to keep up...the new Super Sport tires hooked up nicely.

That depends on the Corvette. I know of one that would not only keep up, it would have a decent chance of passing it.

Yes, have a go-pro...wasn't in the car. We weren't really planning on doing any test runs, and the Cobalt had one ready to go...He tried...lol. There are plenty of cars that will pass me...just a mid level street car there.
