Modded C32 has five good runs in one week!
The following were all south of the border, of course:
Mitsu Evo: Close, short run. Started from about 60 up to about 100. He pulled a little at first (maybe a fender) as we started just fast enough that my C32 did not downshift into 2nd. For the first couple of seconds, he was hanging. However, as I hit the meat of 3rd gear (roughly 80 MPH in the C32) I started to pull him pretty well. By 100, I had a car on him. Good run. Very similar to run with Magnum SRT8 (see below)
Dodge Magnum Hemi (not SRT8): Bloodbath from 40 or so to 80, at which point I had him by a bus.
C6 Vette: Freeway entrance (one lane) run from 20 to about 80. He was not pulling, but nor was I catching him. Not sure how it would have ended up if we had more space. Performance seemed to be very close.
Dodge Magnum SRT8: From 50 to 100. He hit it first, and jumped about 1/2 car. By 100, I had him by a car and was starting to pull decently, but in no way, shape, or form was it a slaughter. Pretty fricking impressive for a 4300 lb wagon! I was surprised how much faster the SRT8 is than the Hemi Magnum.
C5 Vette: From 20 to 70. Not quite as bad of a kill as the Hemi Magnum, but pretty bad. Had him by at least two cars and pulling fast.
As far as I know, all of the above cars were stock. The only one I have some doubts about was the SRT8 Magnum. I thought that I would pull a stock one harder than I did.
Funny, last good run I had was like two months ago, then five in one week! Either I am feeling agro, or everyone else is!

Not sure which C6 it was. Certainly not a Z06, as I would have been watching tailights disappear into the sunset.
Mods are: Evosport pulley (178mm, I think), Powerchips, SL55 splitter, wires, plugs, K&Ns, lighter wheels, Optima, resonator delete.

and about the SRT8.....there are some factory freaks that are very quick. there was a crazy thread a while ago about some SRT8 magnum beating up on a stageII C32, but who knows.....either way, he got the jump, a half car, and its not easy catching up when someone already has a jump on you

V-Man, any idea how much power your C32 is putting to the ground. Your mods are similar to mine (minus the power chip). My cuz has a SRT-8 Charger and I would love to bust him but want to make sure I am ready before hand, lol. Right now I would guess it would be close and go to the guy who got the jump. I have timed my car 0-60 in 4.5 sec and 0-100 in 12 but that was in cooler weather with the ac off but also with two lads in the car. btw- good kills.
