What an idiot to be drag racing a C5, or any vette that isnt preped for it. They have NEVER been built for it stock, the fact that it will still do a respectable 13 or so in the quarter is just a credit to it's overall ability.
I want to see the civic manuver @150mph, the vette will.
That and I want to see a vette with a turbo agenst a civic with a turbo.
I know of a guy with a school bus that will best the both of them in the 1/4, big deal.
Say what you want, it's still a civic, not to take anythign away from the guy, nothing wrong with that at all. But look at what had to be done to get it where it is. I could build a rusted out 78 Nova with a 350 and a small nitrous shot that would beat a new vette, it dosent matter, it's still a 78 Nova that dosent have 1/5 of the overall performance of the vette. You can through enough money at anything and make it do something(s) good, but show me something in the price class with equlivent performance of the C5.
Ofcourse the largest idiot here is the vette owner that had his C5 on a drag strip, it has no place there other than maybe for curiosity's sake.
Some people just dont deserve what they have...
