Pulling the wheels.......
I know it hard to pull the wheels in a C5, but can it be done, stock suspension? Ive seen C5s in the 1.4 60 foot range not pulling the wheels, yet my buddy in his 00 camaro pulls a 1.6 60 foot with the wheels a foot off the ground. Suggestions......

I would also suggest if you have the F45 suspension that you set the selector to TOUR and for more weight transfer disconnect/drop the front sway bar.
