Default 951 vs C5 Corvette

I hope this doesn't upset to many of you. I know "racing" is frowned upon by some on this board but I always enjoy reading 951 encounters.

My 951(turbo S, chip(unknown), SFR cat bypass pipe, broadfoot racing cat back, dynoed at 260rwhp/265rwtq) against a 2003 c5 Corvette with an exhaust. We did 4 runs, the first was from 45mph and I was in 3rd(wrong gear), needles to say the vette jumped to about a 2 car lead and then I started to catch up but the vette had started to brake. Then 3 runs from 30mph to around 115mph, this time I was in the right gear. First run I finish with about a 2 car lead at 115mph, the next to runs where neck and neck with me edging out by about 1/2 a car.

All in all I was very happy with the results and I'm surprised a 18 year old car can run with a 2003 vette. I love my 951! I think if we could have kept on going to 130mph I would have won by about 5 car lengths.

If it was really closed, then I don't think any of us have any problem whatsoever with racing. These are great race cars. Now jackasses that do this crap across multiple lanes in traffic are just dangerous sociopathic a holes.
