Good run guys! I can see where the Z06 had some bad shifts, but in my opinion it did look like charles was slowly pulling him before the Z06 hit the brakes on one of the runs.
...and as far as racing to 150mph, these Lancers cars can do it easily. Just check out some of the video's I have made. I think I hit 155-160mph on a few of them and could have kept going. How far? I have no idea!
Good kill charles seems like your car is running strong, but in the Z06's defense it just needs a BETTER driver to give you a fair run. I think you should run him again just in case there was a fluke last night;)

Sure it will. I got out run by a bolt on trans am with my R6 because I can't race it I can just ride it. I have never went from 2nd to the 5th in my car. I think thats impossible. Either way charles car ran good. But the Z06 did not do the cars performance level justice by any means.:lmfao:Quote:

Gj charles, your going to have to run the mr2 once im done......
A race is a race.. if you fuck up cause you can't drive.. thats your own fault.. Good kill charles...
Hold the fuck up... please fucking tell me when i said one fucking thing to you about racing that night.. I didn't even look your way.. And i posted the thread to tell charles that he had a good race.. So fuck you.. If you have a problem with me, feel free to discuss it with me in person.. The last time i saw you out (before lastnight) I tried to say hey and be cool with you.. I even sent Rick a PM on Georgia Sports Car Forums telling him to tell Jeff and yourself that i was sorry for being a dick... So think what you will about me..Quote:

Second thing I noticed is his redline seems MUCH higher than before.. it sounds almost as if the car is geared differently or something. Either way a loss is a loss.. I never saw the Z06 pull once in the video so I dont see why its even being questioned.

no NLS'ing for charles yet.
Good kill Charles. If the guy wants to prove himself in the Z06 run him at the track.

First, in reply to Crafty....the comment you posted wasn't directed at you.
Secondly, the C6 Z06 is geared differently AND has a higher redline than the C5. They both have the same final gear ratio of 3:42, but the individual lower gears are different. A stock Z06 will hit 62 in 1st, 93 in 2nd, and 125 in 3rd.
2nd to fifth is a hell of a missed shift. thats just straight up crappy driving.
why cant anyone say a loss is a loss no matter what happened? a bird could have pooped in your lap and u tried to strangle it mid race, you still lost!
want to settle it? DO IT AT THE STRIP. then the only complaint anyone can have is that they cant drive or dont know the diff betweeen yellow n green lights.

edit: lankhoss beat me to it^
both quick cars, it looks like a close race to me when they were actually goin. Better race again for all the bullshit talkin from a dig and from a kick. But shifting slow (charles) or miss shifting (Z06) is all apart of the game. Good Kill Charles. Just cant wait to see that Z06 with full exhaust and cam.
I suppose the issue, is normally when I race...I want everything right...so you can see which CAR is better, not which DRIVER is better. And if you look at the title of the thread and the comments.......it's "Charles beat a Z06"Quote:

Charles didn't screw up at all that night, and I screwed up once. The rest of the bad runs I blame on the conditions (traffic, unable to hear honks, etc.). No matter who or what is racing, I just hate to have runs where you've got things like that interfering, that's all. We did a few tonight on an empty highway, and ALL of them went well....I just wish that night had turned out as well for the runs.
Maybe he was trying to save gas?Quote:

Enjoy it while you can- that is until you run up on another C6Z as it might have a better driver.;)
Second- what kindof power was the EVO running this night?
In my useless opinion unless this EVO was making 500whp this should have not been the story and only leads me MORE to believe this is not the best driver for a Z06 of this stature.
i have a few comments:
first, charles good video quality, i like the extra brightness, can actually see in it.
also, good kill
lankloss, i understand what you were upset about and undertstand the whole scene ur used to where people put that a belt slip etc, but none of that matters cuz its run what you brung. still, you car did damn good if what i hear bout that evo is true.
Seems like everyone's "heard something" 'bout my car now adays... hehe... I've heard a lil 'bit of everything myself too.Quote:

i agree that it would be nice to have all the variables gone so you could see which car is indeed faster, but that will hardly ever be the case since this isn't a perfect world and the conditions in which are presented to us in each "run" will have its own flaws... but the better driver will prevail and sometimes, the better car will lose. in this case.. i believe the better driver and the better car won. what makes u so confident that charles couldn't run any faster than he did?
suck it up and chalk it down as a LOSS. i hate to say this, but WINNING IS WINNING!!! by an inch or a 1/4 mile.. WINNING IS WINNING! own up to ur loss and stop trying to make excuses.. no one wants to hear about this crap anymore...

I won't bring my dumbestic garbage around you 1337 racers anymore, sorry.
dude.. no one said your car was garbage. i have a lot of respect for the c6 z06.. they are bad ass!!
lol Damn man don't be so hostile about it.. I think its more respect for Charles rather than disrespect for you. If both of you pull up in a gas station who is going to get all of the attention? Trust me nobody thinks less of you just because of a video.. we all know the C6 Z06 is fast as hell.Quote:

lol...... i apologize if my comments at all led to the impression a z06 is trash, its not. i revere the car and think its an awesome machine. i was just commenting on the video etc. hell, it shitton faster than my miata, bad driver or not.
You sound like a whinny little bitch. You should have a mustang instead maybe you could be fast then:goodjob:Quote:
