You cant be a bad driver in a roll racing GTR :dunno: Unless he was sitting in the wrong gear.

But I mean guys are running low 11s in new GTRs...so who knows. I didnt pay attention to what they started the roll from....LS cars (I know not quite the same), pull super hard from a roll, you know that...so that might have helped if they were higher up.

Thats all I can figure is the vette was in a better gear. At some point in the video sounds like the C7 wanted a 2nd gear race, and the C5 wanted a third gear run. I bet the C7 was in 1st or 2nd for all of the runs.

Its funny because that 5.0 and C7 has got to be a drivers race in the quarter mile (with the edge probably going to the mustang). The 3.73's in the 5.0 were definitely a disadvantage in that race. I'd like to see the same run against a 5.0 without the steep gears out back, but the C7 would still have the weight/aero advantage obviously.
