Default Stupid Corvettes!!!

Driving down a street w/about 10 stop signs each about 1/4 mile apart (haha) just a little while ago and there's a new black Corvette, not the Z06 just the regular one. first off, it looked nice as hell.... when I pulled up next to the guy I was looking over at him and he kind of just laughed. So after the next couple stop signs we were just driving along, no racing. Then I got tired and took off at one sign and he didn't do anything. So at the next stop sign I was back to driving normal and he pulled back up to me, then took off..... man he was gone reallllyy fast.... I wasn't trying to catch him or anything, but damn I don't think I would have been able to even keep up! .... will adding gears, UDP, & LT headers let me be able to hang in///beat a new stock C6?????

An M6 Z51 C6 should run low 12s , so no, those mods won't get you there.

Why would you want to "hang" with the vets anyway?

To be honest I really like the new Vets. I wanted one until I saw the price. I got the Stang and am happy but when I see them coming down the street I am always, always like wooahhhh! Never ever liked the look of the old ones until the up'ed the body style to the current ones.

Actually these corvettes are really computer restricted from general motors, but a quick flash and they will run low 12's and some dip into the high 11's. But a stock vette off of the show room floor, Id say would probably run a high 12.
