Re: My C5 Z06 (stock) vs my buddy's Mustang GT (Full bolt-ons, 100 octane predator tu

Well, ran him again. Same setup, this time from a dig. I'm on the stock F1's and he's on some Nitto 555 Dr's..

We both heat up the tires and go from a flag. I rev the car up to about 2800 rpms and hold the throttle there while slipping the clutch, Once I'm off the clutch I look over to my left and his front bumper is right at my door. Surprised at my launch, I play with the throttle to control wheel spin, But I'm too focused on it and end up bouncing off the limiter like 4 times. I quickly shift to second gear (tires chirp and back end sways) and I look over and I've got him by about a car. Shift into 3rd and he's now back about 2 - 2 1/2 cars. Then in the middle of third I shut down because there's no point in continuing.

I'm actually surprised at how good these tires can hook up once you heat them up a little bit. (considering they're not DR's.)
