Everytime I've been in quickshifts 01 z06 I'm amazed at how different they feel. Amazing cars... Really wish I could make my fbody feel as planted and confident as the c5zs feel.

A friend of mine just got an 04 C5 (LS1). Its bone stock, automatic. I took him for a spin in my SS an when we got back he swore up and down to the crowd we were hanging out with that his C5 was faster than my car. Tried to explain to him it was just a SOTP thing, but he wouldn't believe us....or run me, lol.

I got pulled over in a parking lot in my gtp on st pattys day. Police were everywhere, maybe a bit of street racing wasn't very smart on this day?

So, you're saying don't street race, right? That's cool, its a risk, no argument there, but I just want to make sure I'm clear about what you are trying to get across in the STREET/STRIP section...

Didn't you say you trapped 88mph in the 1/8? 87-90mph is pretty normal for as stock GT500.

They trap a couple mph lower than a stock S197..
