OK I know...maybe not what your thinking, but my older bro bought an 05 vette, and we wer talking about a friendly drag race at our local track. I know the vette is faster, more HP, and lighter. My question is whats the secret to a good launch off the line? T/C on or off? RPM @ launch? RPM shift speeds? Tire pressure?? Again were both stock, both sticks, and I know he is faster, but I though if I can get a good launch, so I may not get spanked as bad. :yakyak:

Is it bad to like the new Vette? IT looks so nice but I must say I feel dirty after thinking things like that. Haha. Don't worry...I love my 05 GT and nothing compares to it.

Any opinions on how the GT500 will stock up against the new vette? I haven't seen any performance numbers on it, like 0-60?

In my mind, as long as it is American isit is ok to like. I used to have a 99 Vette. My Mustang is just as fun, altough I miss being able to take the center top of the Vette, it was almost as good as a convertible.

One thing that wouldn't be fun in the Vette would be filling up with 92, although my six speed used to average 32 miles a gallon on the highway. You could cruis @ 75 mph @ 1600 rpm. Though I now the Stang is a muscle car, I wish it had a 6 spd manual for even better fuel mileage.
