The C5 driver didn't know how to shift under pressure. Beside you had a leg up on him. Don't count on it after 110 mph or 1/4 ET. He'll whip you like whip cream and yes, in a regular C5. Twisties? Yes, he'll whip you too. Unless you're in an M5, or running against an unexperience corvette driver, don't try on the straights either.
I'm glad you had fun, though.

It was a C6 and yep the vette is spec'd faster.. Everyone take a deep breath.... Don't hate the player, hate the game..
I have been racing my whole life and have been handed the keys to all shapes and sizes of machines so that my friends and family could see how their car could perform on the street and track. So without tooting my horn to loud, I will say, your car's limits are dependent on your own. 
BEEP BEEP!

The battle was tight from here on out. But by the time we hit 110, which wasn't very long, he hadn't gained an inch. So did I kill him? Naw, it wasn't a fair run.. But it was nice for my first time. 
If he can drive well, that car specs out about .4-.5 quicker 0-60 and 1/4 mile overall.. so that doesn't leave much room for error.

Very good. No doubt that a basic Vet would have trouble catching you under the circumstances.
Though, I would respectfully bow down to a Z06 if I was to have one role up.. I'd bet even skipping a gear or two would make for a good laugh on my behalf.
On second thought, I'd give it a go just to see that vette in action..
