C4 Vs. Goliath
Have you guys with your 1992-1996 LT1s ever beat a Goliath type at the strip??? Im talking about with your stock LT1 beating a car that you thought was faster than you?? Did you knock off a Z06, CTSV, Porsche or some other heavy hitter??? Did you shock the guy beating him with your C4???

I have beat a 04 M3, 3 C5's, charger srt-8, 2 modded skittles (srt-4), and couple other cars. Living in houston you see a lot of performance cars. Oh! Also stayed next to a 2003 ford Lightning with 420RWHP! I love my lil freak! lol

Central Coaster smoked a C6Z06 with his stock L98....Outdrove him.
I lit up a LT1 Fbody with heads/cam/gears...Again, driving. (L98)
Beat a few C5 Z06s and C6 .(LT5) Doesnt mean the car is faster, just who outdrove who that day. Its all in fun.

I've beat every stock LS1 made before 2001(Y body and F body)
I've taken out several LT4 cars, twin turbo Nissans, some Wrx's.
A supercharged C5(he slept at the tree and had a bad launch besides).

"Took my car bracket drag racing in SoCal.
All the C5's lost in the 1st round
I cut a .015 light followed by a .003 light"
You mean .515 and .503 don't you? .015 and .003 would be red lights and you lose.

Nope, the LACR, now closed, considered a .000 a perfect light not a .500
Took me for surprize too.
I needed to change my start style a just a little bit.
