c4 vs c5
well today i went down to the track and there was this guy in a 99 c5 pewter colored we where chatting about the cars and then i say hey you wanna run them ive allways been interested to see if there was a big difference in the cars ( motor wise) so we got them lined up and we took off at the same time and where neck n neck the first part of the track then as we got close to the mid part the c5 started pulling away now i was at the rear bumper then surprisingly the c4 started pulling and beat him by a full car length 
i thought the c5 ls1's where a lot more well...... fast 
well i represented the c4 very well i think

I have to agree, something must of been wrong with the C5 or the driver. I have driven several and although I don't necessarily like them, they can definitely pull better than my C4.
In any case, thanks for putting one in the C4 column

325+ hp vs. 300 hp....in stock trim.......can you share the video? It would be most interesting to see you losing by a car lenght at the 1/8 and then coming from behind and pulling to one full car length with less hp......truly amazing!

you would have to have a ton of power over said c5 if you were able to come back from being a car behind to putting a car in him at the far end of a 1/4 mile he had to have missed a shift, blown his engine or you are just full of ****.
