Once you catch up to him at the end of the 1/4 mile, as him what his monthly car payment is. He'll still have smoked you, but you'll feel better.

He said it was an 07 so shouldn't it have an ls2 with 400hp?
In that case he may have a chance.

Default gotta hate those half shafts!

Well... if he doesnt already know... the C6 have very weak halfshafts in the rear. Just tell him to throw some slicks on and side step the clutch at 5000 rpm and there's your win! You will LITERALLY leave him at the line!

Since this will be at a track, as soon as both cars are staged, stand on it. Yes, you will red-light, however he will probably **** himself seeing you take off, lite the tires up and you will get to the finish line first, which is all that matters, right?

I think you might have a slim chance of hanging with him if you launch better and are very good with the shifter.
