Default All for fun, fun for all.


I was at a roll racing event a couple weeks ago. I wanted to run a C6Z and did so. The C6Z is very impressive. I am happy with the outcome of the race considering it went about exactly how I would have figured it to.

My C5Z is a heads/cam/bolt on's car made 461whp.

The C6Z was stock with an intake.

We started around 35mph, I pulled it up from a little low in second and the C6Z was in first.

So did he let off before you or did you pull on him? It appeared he had the upper hand and then you pulled away.

You can see his brake lights, the "rules" were that the inside car had to enter the corner first win or lose, so I kept into it a little bit to get there first. He beat me but I wasn't mad at the run.

I just can't believe he pulled on you like that with heads & cam when you are at 461rwhp and he's stock. A 505hp car should only be about 455rwhp at best if stock plus it's a bit heavier car.

Between me pulling up from the lower rpm of second and him in first, and overall awkward shifting points with these two cars, I could have possibly got a better run at him with the start shifted more in my favor. Or maybe I'm being way too hopeful. I fully anticipated losing to it and am fairly happy with how my car performed all things considered. Although I may match stock C6Z's in power they out torque my car, especially on the bottom.
