Hey last night my buddy and I decided to run them. We drove around a bit to find a spot where we could heat up the tires and race from a dig. My friend has a 2004 C5 with exhaust, intake, and shifter. I have a couple of things done take a look at my sig. Anyways we roasted them up a little bit then decided to do the three honk start. Right from the start I put maybe two cars on him and by third it was closer to three. We went to about 120 and I shut it down. Just thought I would post. Lightning= Vette Eater.
'00 L vs. C5

- Start date
Nice, I would expect the C5 to start making up ground by the top of second and certainly third, not that I have any experoence. Good race.

Power cooler is probably definately helping a lot. My '03 L with 6lb lower (early apten port), chip, MAC CAI, Flowmaster catback (421rwhp 500rwtq)would eat up a vette till about 118mph (then the dreaded shift to 4th with stock gears), thats when they'd get me. The vipers would get me by about 90 and say byebye
Nice kill.
nice kill...
your tires most likely decided the race. good run did you do just one race or a best of 3?
I know both guys very well and the vette was spinning throughout first and part of second. Lightning may=vette eater but not Cobra eater. :nono: Lucky race Mike.fastasLtn said:
Let the vette hook and there will be new results to the race. But the correct way is Cobra=Lightning eater.fastasLtn said:

Love it when the vettes go down. Nice kill.
i like watching the old guys in thier vettes get beat. kinda gives them a reality check and lets them know there are other fast/quick cars.
That guy in the Vette had to be a horrible driver. The L should have pulled the Vette hard from the line, but up top the Vette should have cought him and passed him. The L's are bricks at speed. :dw:

Nice kill.. from a dig with tires lightnings can launch..
i would venture to say though that you have more than "a couple of things done"
correct way would be "highly modded lightning = exhause intake C5 eater"
Both guys are my friends. My buddy in the C5 can drive very good. It was cold out and he had some traction problems. I drove the Lightning and it sure isn't slow, but put some tires on the Vette and it will be a better race.00Vette said:
You are right and I agree, but in this race my buddy in the Vette is 18, with my buddy in the Lightning being 20.Mitch.Shea said:
Nice.
I've pretty much had the exact same results.

Black Venom 99 you have no idea how my truck pulls now. Anyways the driver of the C5 is a great driver, and did actually heat his tires up. So saying that it was cold had nothing to do with his traction. Just as well he spun SOME of first but bit well before he shifted second. I know this because we talked about it. Anyways we were only able to get one run in but Im sure in the future we will agree to race again, and I will be sure to post the outcomes. Thanks for the responses
Actually I have a very good idea of how your truck pulls. It is the other way around and you have no idea how my Cobra pulls. Also, if you were smart heating up stock street tires does nothing but wastes rubber, and really doesn't make them hook better.fastasLtn said:
How do can you say that heating stock tires doesnt do anything. Why would so many people out at the track do it then when they have stock tires? To look cool? Please man. Hey if you ever decide to ever drive your car we can line then up so we both have an idea how our cars/trucks pull.
It doesn't do anything for you to heat up a stock tire. It is not a drag radial and is made put of a much harder compound. People at the track do it because they don't have the right tire and they are misinformed about what they think they are doing is correct. When I get my car out of storage we will line them up and everyone and yourself know I will pull on you and win. Come on Mike get your head on straight.fastasLtn said:
