Last year I had an C5 03 (stock) and I was embarassed by a mustang. This is what was embarassing, we went from a 80mph roll and it took me 2 miles to catch him. Now that i have my C6 we're going to do it again. The mustang belongs to my nephew and it's all motor... 393 stroker, 3:73, afr heads. do i have a chance with my C6????????

Why? For one he has a bigger better motor... and all supporting bolt ons and gears better than yours.

You would need to start with some nice mods to catch him... regardless of the fact that it is just a "mustang".

Good luck!
