FD > S.Charged C6 and '07 Viper :)

The vid shows just one of my passes of this clown. I was eating him all day

There were many 'teams' at this Nasa event, but these guys were flossing the hardest. All matching race suits for the entire team, large trailer decaled out, huge Ford rig decaled out, (2) Supercharged C6's w/ "600HP C6" plates, timing equipment etc..

This guy couldn't hang. He would block my pass for as long as humanly possible, occasionaly the full 3.7 miles of Sebring then finally, relutcantly let me pass.

I was leaking boost badly which kept me to 14.1 psi max.

Fixed it for (1) session where I ate this Viper alive. When I saw him during my boost leak runs he would walk away from me in the straights but I would nail him in every turn untill he let me pass. But, boy, during the one session of my true 15+ psi runs he couldn't hold a candle. Burned him, bad! No vid of that though



The infield is where the real fun was happening. But no matter where he was in the lineup, I kept hunting him down

You're probably a much better driver than them. Congrats! However, for some reason the underlined statement above sounds kinda bad.

Dude, I can't win for f*cking loosing with this thing. I am probably the only tard that fixes a leak...just to have something else pop off. This time it was a Greddy coupler that split. As far as the mods, nothing exotic. Stock ports.

It's always something with this old car though. I am envious of the new Zo6's. There was this guy with a new C6 Zo6, all blacked out, coilovers slammed on some 315mm+ tires all around. I didn't run him....pretty glad too Because his car sounded like a demon spawn and looked it aswell.

Yeah, there's been at least one in the high 10s with only drag radials. I work on them almost every day and I can only blame on technology how badass and stupid stupid fast they are for $79k. When I rev one, it's quiet the first few revs, then all the sudden the butterfly valves open, and it's a deafening straightpiped 500 hp V8 roar...STOCK. And now that same exhaust is an available option on the base model $45k 190 mph '08 Vette. Enough of the GM commercial, a modded FD will still smoke one as I proved in a certain video, and I wish I was there to help with your boost leak like at Moroso. Badass car, nice run.

Can't beat the sound of those V8's though. Especially when they're boosted.

Someday I will get a C6Z06 and throw Twin Turbos on it. Have to settle for a Pro-charged C5 for now...
