Not Stock '12 5.0 vs LS2 C6 Surprised by the Outcome
What's up yall? I'm not the greatest story teller so bear with me.
I was heading to a fancy restaurant down in Mexico for a father's day dinner when I came up on a blacked out c6 with a sweet cloth bra flapping in the wind. I continued on my way only to notice the c6 jumping in behind me. It pulled up next to me and I noticed it was two younger guys. I shrugged thinking I would get beat but they didn't go for it so I took off, not wanting to be late. I noticed them jumping in behind me and keeping my speed so I figured what the hell and jumped on it and proceeded to walk away.
I caught my exit and looped around to the restaurant when the vette rolled up next to me asking "What've you got in that thing?" I replied "It's stock." They asked if I wanted to go again on 3 and I figured I was already late so I asked where, they replied "On the highway," so we jumped back on and slowed to a 40 roll. I dropped down to 2nd and he started the honk. I got the jump and immediately pulled a fender, and by the time I let off in 5th (around 130) I had a solid three cars on him.
They pulled back up asking if I was stock again and I replied "Yeah just axle backs (pypes axle backs) Is that an ls2 or 3?" The passenger responded by counting to three and by the time I dropped down to 3rd he was in it and had me at his rear bumper. I still managed to reel past him and had him by about half a car when I shut down shifting into 5th.
I ended up finding out it was an ls2 and they responded saying my car is a beast. I told them thanks and was on my way.
Needless to say, I was very surprised by the outcome. I figured I could hang with one, but didn't expect to walk on one. It almost sounded like it was straight piped, otherwise I would guess it was stock. Did I just beat the driver or does this sound about right?
I'm just blown away because my car runs dead nuts even with my buddies 05 GTO with headers back, intake and tune, so I figured same engine in a lighter car should've walked away from me.
My car is a 12 GT premium, standard (obviously) with 3.31s and pype bomb muffler deletes.
