Ran against a few cars in these past few days...
Won some...lost others.
1) 2011 CTS-V w/ ECU tune and Intake ( 6AT ) = I won by about 1.5-2 car lengths.
2) 2010 CTS-V w/ ECU tune, Intake, upper and lower pulleys ( don't ask, it's what he said ) and larger heat exchanger ( 6AT ) = I lost by about 1 car. He also ran 11.2@122mph w/ drag radials.
3) 2011 Mustang GT500 w/ K&N, 2.59 pulley and tune ( 6MT ) = Just barely lost, he had his front wheel in my front bumper.
4) 2008 BMW 335 w/ Tune, downpipes, larger intercooler, intakes and meth ( 6MT ) = Utterly killed him...at least 3+ cars from a 40mph gear roll.
5) 2003 or 2004 Corvette ( C5 w/ 405hp LS6 ) w/ Tune, headers, exhaust, cam, rockers, intake, and a few other mods ( He put 450whp N/A and is 6MT ) = I lost by 1.5 cars.
I'll tell you something, those CTS-V's are monsters when modded. Even stock they ain't no joke. I was not impressed, however, with the GT500....I thought it would annihilate me...yet we just hung until he bested me by a few inches.

Ha...I forgot an E92 M3 ( stock ) that I raced...it wasn't even funny. I literally let off and got on it again and passed him TWICE in the same run. How awesome is that? LOL.

I don't know the details...I know he runs full weight and pump gas.
