C6 Absolutely Destroyed Tonight...
I "saw" a very interesting run tonight...

10+ lengths from 20 mph through the first half of 3rd gear (you guys can put the pieces to this puzzle together)...

I believe they are 430 hp stock and run very well (and run 0-60 and 1/4 mile similar to stock E55 #'s).

What I "saw" wasn't an epic kill story but it sure was fun to watch...

As a former C6 owner, my guess is that he wasn't aware he was in a race. Most Corvette drivers are not stupid enough to street race.

Lolz, check YouTube or Streetfire. You will find that Corvette and Mustang drivers make up the bulk of street racing videos.

base ls3 c6s are slow. So who cares. If you ran down a c6z (which I doubt you did) that would be pretty neat.
