I figured I would just run my normal launch sequence and really concentrate on getting a quick reaction time. Third yellow illuminates and I'm off, I noticed out of the corner of my eye, he delayed about a tenth. He must have had a stick and not shifted very good because by the time I crossed the finish line I had him by at least 3 car lengths. So with all this speculation going on you never really know.
This^^:^^ in order for him to win he auctually "has" to beat you. Like Wood Boss just proved there are many 6th gen drivers out there to be had. A fast car doesnt make an automatic win. Internet races are not much fun.....go put him on the trailer.....record it ....and post.

I raced a 6th gen M6 at the local track. His RT was .628, mine was .229, his 60' was 2.272, mine was 1.957, his ET was 12.903 @ 113.93, mine was 12.754 @110.32. I have LT's, CAI, race scoop, BW ported tb, DR's, and a tune from ADM. The 6 gens are quick, and if he can hook you'll get caught. Being that the one I raced was on street tires and the fact he trapped a higher mph would indicate he spun pretty bad but he was catching me on the big end.

It should be a close race. I ran a bone stock automatic Gen 6 Camaro with drag radials only with my supercharged C6 Corvette and I was very impressed with the Gen 6 running a 12.2
The third slip shows his times.
Good Luck! I hope you win!

So did this race ever happen? How did the OP do against the Gen6?
