Raced both of those bad boys (C5's). Unfortunately lost to both of them. One is around 400 and other around 450hp (yellow one).

 

There's no shame in losing to another great car.

 

how much boost were you running?

 

12psi

 

pretty cool pic. are there a lot of c5s in europe?

 

Certanly more then FDs

The ones in the pic are from Austria.

 

I still think that year corvette looks like it stole some looks from the FD. Either way....very nice cars.

 

^I agree

 

Its all good. Alteast you tried.

 

Corvettes with Euro Plates-- looks so awkward.

 

I saw one C5 in Manchester, England a few weeks ago. Kinda cool to see it there. Where in Europe are you? And why are there C5's from Austrailia in Europe??

 

Took the words right out of my mouth

 

Throw anotha shrimp on the bah-bee.

Austria, not Australia


Are C5s considered pretty high end cars there? While they are nice cars, they are nearly dime-a-dozen here. They are so common here that they kinda lose the nice car reaction/shock. I still like them though.

 

I'm assuming you have stock motor and twins. How bad did you get beat (1,5,10 car lengths), and to what speed?

 

Cool picture. Do you also have a side pic? Thanks for sharing.

 

That's so funny. I wrote AUSTRIA, European country

I'm in Slovenia.

 

They are VERY high end cars overhere. They're very rare and quite expensive. They go around $50k used. I managed to find one for $20k last month and was tempted to get it.

Still... front end of FD looks better to me

 

With the weaker silver one I got beat by about 1 car length or maybe 1.5.

With much stronger yellow one I got beat for aprox. 5car lengths.

I'm on stock twins with mods in sig at 12psi. What is missing is a better flowing muffler and ignition amp as I'm getting ignition breakup over 12psi of boost.

Here are some more pics:


















Enjoy

 

pics look good, was it raining or just another cloudy day?

 

I was raining before I arrived.
Surprisingly the traction was quite good.

Must be very abrasive this airport asphalt/tarmac.

 

The 3 photos of the cars driving are great! silver, red, yellow - nice shots!

 

for a minute there I thought those c5's were FD's with some funky front bumbers

 

It looks like they didn't even attempt to hide it. I think they made an FD, just uglier. At least the front half.

 

Wow. Don't know how I misread that one. I'm really not that stupid. lol.


Great set of second pics! Especially the side shots.

 

VERY NICE PICS!
