Put the hurt on a C6 and an mod' impala

I was driving back from Santa Cruz to Vallejo and about ten minutes intot the drive I noticed a nice black C6 as I passed it around 72mph.

I look back to see if he changed speeds and sure enough he wanted to see whats up with my car. So he is pacing me until we hit a straight away and he comes up next to me and nails it around 70mph, so I do the same and walked him easily and shut down around 115mph.

So he cruises back up and I here him yell out the window, "your car is a POS!" and I just waved and went on my way.

About an hour later I noticed a car trying to catch up to me as I was going about 80mph. I slowed down a little and as soon as he got along side of me he braked and slowed down to pace me. I didn't know what it was at first but it looked huge and slow. So when he had trailed back a bit, I didnt think much of it, until he decided he would do some sort of flyby. I thought it didnt stand a chance even with a 20-30mph head start so I didnt floor it until he was at my side. I quickly walked him and shut down at about 115mph again. What confused me is how well the impala hung with me. I pulled on him with ease but not like a car that is only trapping 100-105, it seemed like his car had to be as powerful as a C5. I dont know but I figure he had some mods done to it. I always heard the 94-96 impalas have good topend, I guess they do.

I trap 118 in my track setup, so with slightly less boost and more weight I probably would lose a couple mph so 115-116ish.

Fun races against those nasty LSX engines.

Uh, his car is about a second faster in the 1/4 than a C6 vette.

Nice runs and sweet car you have there.

I'm a little confused myself....the new C6 runs 11.7 stock...I thought that's right about what you were running Jeff?

The new c6 I lined up with went 12.89. The car was brand new though(didn't even have a tag on it). That's the sure way to break them in right, eh?
