05 E55 vs 05 'Vette track results

Last night at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas.

05 E55 ECU/TCU tune, otherwise stock
05 Corvette, auto, stock

I went 12.36@117 to his 13.37@109.

I had to ease off the line and only went 2.09 60ft, but ran well once it got moving!

Nice run. I thought the new base model vette's were all 12 sec machines in street trim.

Great run and trap.

The stock LS2 suffers from massive torque management.

An '05 is the newest generation of Corvettes and stock they do run 12's. The driver didn't know how to get his car to run as fast as it really is.


Good kill, beating a sports car with a four door sedan is always nice.

Thanks guys! I have seen Vettes, mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, etc., run all over the place on et's so it's hard to really tell what they run.

For example, here are some runs yesterday that I saw.

CTS-V Wagon ran 12.7
Camaro SS 14.2

My buddy in the Vette ended up running at 13.0x that night.

The odd thing is that I didn't see a single BMW that night... I saw CTS-V's, Camaros, Vettes, Mustangs, Challengers, GTR's...

That mention of the run by the CTS-V wagon makes me tingly. I want one!
