Default LT4+150shot

Video description says the c4 has hotcam, slicks, 4.10, and a 150shot. Destroys the c6z in the quarter. Oh, and it's a stock bottom end.

Not bad.

Would be a lot cooler if it was in street configuration (like the C6 was)...and still beat it. With that mph, the drivability and the easy shifting, that C4 should be able to handle any stock C6.

Was cruising last night next to a c6z who was looking to go...thought to myself man if I had a bottle I’d surprise him. This validates my thought lol

Love all the people that say the stock
bottom end cant take it.

Note all the nutz power people are putting thru stock lsx bottom ends

as ive long said:
its not that the sbc cant take it.

the know how to do it safely wasnt there back when the sbc was in its prime so people blew em up.

its a different era

long live the sbc

Is he still racing? My intuition is that the stock trans/diff wouldn't be able to take those launches for long. Wonder if he's upgraded, or moved on to another platform.

Stock trans will take way more than that.

Diff...depends on how it's treated/maintained.

He sold the C4 some years ago and bought a C5Z.
