C4 vs C8 Fun
With the C8s finally showing up all over down here in DFW, I finally got to roll a couple in the recent weeks.
Here is a video I got yesterday. I was in 3rd, which is pretty low for 60mph as 2nd ends around 78mph. But got him none the less. He was a good sport about it. Fun times.

1st 51mph, 2nd 78mph, 3rd 115mph, 4th 147mph, 5th 230mph.. TKO 600 w/ 0.64 OD 5th gear and a 3.54 final.
I would love to see a new Z and would give it a go even though there would be bus lengths in difference.
I have another video but it is basically crap. Better start rpm and I pulled on him right off the bat. That guy wasn't so happy about it but still gave a thumbs up. Might have been the cloud of smoke I left him in, the 6.0 is a little worn out these days.

If the 6.0 is getting tired it is probably time for a 427 stroker.

Have a 6.6 in the new work truck. I'm almost positive it's severely detuned to not blow past the 6.2... the power delivery is just too weird to not be messed with.
Whatever you do I'm sure it'll be bad ***.

Nice! But would have been MUCH more impressive if you were still running the CFI setup. 
Pretty interesting though. And if you did have CFI and beat him, the owner if it was me, would sell my C8 and hang my head in shame.
