Just for fun at the track my wife let me race her. Video shows a clip a friend gave me and the PDR camera from my car on the last half of the video.

Looks like a fun day at the track. Did you let your wife drive the Vette at all? Also, what times were you both turning and I'm curious as to how the Camaro is speced out. (Auto, man, mods, gears, tires etc). Those new Vettes are amazing to say the least.

Was a fun day, we've only been out there twice now. Neither of us have any mods on our car. I replaced my air filter with a drop in but doubt that makes much of a difference. My wife's car normally runs in the high 8s, believe her last one was 8.9 seconds. My car normally runs in the low 7s, think my last run was 7.3 seconds around 100 mph. The track we go to isn't prepped so even on my car I get a lot of wheel spin.
