I honestly dont believe a C6 is going to beat an STi off the line. Maybe the STi will lose in the long run die to the AWD slowing it down but an slightly modded STi should pull 1.7's and 1.8 short times all day long on a decent track. A C6 might do that with drag radials but doubtful. The modded Z06 was pulling 2.0's and 2.1's all night last night on BFG drags. But I know, I know... he was a terrible driver or something was wrong with the car, or he wasnt getting into it, or some girl flashed him her **** as he just pulled off the line and he was distracted or something to that affect.
I do not doubt he was pulling 2.0's 60 footers but how then could a car with almost 50 less rwhp (using stock numbers) and about 300 lbs heavier pull a 1.86 like I did. You sarcasticly blame the driver, when anybody with a clue knows it's his fault, the car could go in the 1.8's easy.

Its all in the suspension and tires. Hell.. I pulled a 1.85 60' in my Bolt-On GT in Seguin Raceway in San An TX.

Right, he had a drag radial tire, yes I have some suspension but nothing all that great, it sounds to me like the guy was ***** and was afraid to launch the car. Hell I was being gental on my car because I am still on the weak *** 10 bolt and was leaving at 3000 rpm, he sould have been able to do at least that.

I went a 1.66 60' on Nitto's, 305rwhp, , leaving around 2100 rpms, and a bone stock suspension....I don't even have subframe connectors, at least not on the car. I rarely went anything over a 1.79 with just DR's on the car. So I'd definately say the driver of the Corvette you seen, sucks ***.

I'd definately say a C6 could do equally as well as me, and should do better. Even with their IRS, they tend to hook very well.

My buddies EVO has went a best of a 1.68 60' I believe. The advantage definately goes to a decent driver with some decently sticky rear tires in a RWD vehicle. I love it when people think an AWD car dominates the world! Simply because they cut 1.7x short times....import people are the worst for that ****.

Looks like someone puked on the driver's side floor mat.

Thanks Grn N Gry. I love this thing.

As far as the puke..... you can see it's dirt and leaves if you could get closer. If it were puke, that would just be gross. Even thinking about puke in a car when it's 90 out makes me feel ill. Ohhh and a sentenct is a sentence that starts with a lower case and ends in a punctuation.
