Videos: E55 vs C5
E55 vs C5. The quality of the videos isn't that great, but I still think they're cool. The video freezes about half way through the first one. Of course neither car exceeded the speed limit! 
The videos take a few seconds to load a play (a few MINUTES with dial-up).

With 500rwhp the C5 should beat a stock E55 IMO. A stock E55 has around 380 hp at the wheels so it didnt get beat that bad.

Yes, but the E55 is stock and the C5 has mods bringing it from 300 rwhp to 500 rwhp
Woulda been nice to know that....makes a huge diff in the way you view the vid. 55 should be able to hand a c5's a$$ to it.
Thanks for the info.

wow, I didn't know that! so my CDI is about 20%? That makes for about 400 lb/ft torque based on my Dyno... no bad, but not the 427 I was promised..

Listen to the loud whine of the vet's supercharger. I think the E55 did very well against that car.
Why the rolling start?
The Vette is fun, BUT it won't get my kid's to school! The E55 is by the far the most fun all-around car I've ever had.

LPE, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering
, will mod Corvettes from mild to wild. It can take a Z06 from stock to 420hp with just some bolt ons or 500, 600, 700, 800 or more rwhp with their macdaddy 427TT setups. If you have the money to spend, they can make whatever # you want to see.So what was the Z06 that you raced?
