I'm over in Austin. If you know of any gatherings, track meets, etc give me a heads up. I'd love to check out your car.

05LGT,
awd cars are great, but peak hp doesn't mean **** if all the power falls off after X rpm...power under curve is what is important how long are you holding that peak #.
do you have your dyno sheet?

RE: Death from a C5 Corvette
Good numbers. I've been neck/neck with a 6L GTO (my finer hour
) and have been killed by a couple of vettes. (c5-C6? not sure).
I've made waste of several T/A's (WS6), couple of LS1 Z28'sand a lot of imports ().
I now have 4.10 gearing (as of yesterday) and plan to have a Zex 100 kit by next week. Scared yet?
Just kidding bro. I'd love to hook up over in west houston area. Pm me.

RE: Death from a C5 Corvette
That dyno is why he pulled like that, then stopped pulling.
He probably didn't start in the right gear because he assumed you wouldn't be a challenge. Then he gets into his power 'curve', and pulls like a freight train. Followed by short shifting back out of his 'curve', and the race ended.
Just a thought.
