The timer didn't work on this run so I don't know what the times were...
The 5.0 quickly pulled a car length from the launch while the Vette spun off the line, but once the Vette got traction it started to slowly reel the 5.0 in and was able to pull even by the end of the track.
A few notes about the race and the cars:
- Both cars are COMPLETELY stock including tires, air filters, etc.
- The 5.0 has 3.73's and the Vette has 2.56's
- Corvette driver weighs ~ 100 lbs. more than the 5.0 driver so the Corvette had about a 300 lb. weight advantage
- The transmission / gear ratio advantage was very evident on the 5.0 until about 80 mph when the Vette went into 3rd gear and the 5.0 went into 4th... this is when the Vette's power:weight advantage really started to show.
Corvette has 05 Wheels on it.
