1/2 mi racing is VERY addicting!!! I recently attended an event here in TX.... It's all over youtube... My best run was against a 2015 Viper TT (975HP)... Came down to a photo finish. Great vids!

Good info, I didn't know the c6 had a 4l65e.

Only in 2005.

Pretty much any RPM Trans you get will have the 5 gear planetary. (Like a 4l65)

LOL, you act like it's nothing to RR the tranny. One of the things I truly hate doing in a vette and I've done it twice. Of course if I had a lift it would be 100x better.
