Default Video of my 2011 ISF and 2012 C-6 Grand Sport on westside hwy in NYC

On my way home this morning ran into this 2012 C-6 Grand Sport around 47th st heading up to westside hwy, once we hit the the highway we had a little spirited romp up the westside, once we slowed down I grabbed my cell phone out of my bag just after 125th st and strated to record. Once traffic came to stop toward the end of video he gave me friendly rev of his LS9 6.2 and I replied with my 2UR 5.0 lol have to admitt my f sounded better but he was running stock exhaust so can't compare the two, he then gave a friendly wave and went on his way was alot fun.

http://youtu.be/-hQDIV8Rw-o

And can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong here, can't figure out how to post up video properly, in the mean time can someone repost it for me.

Not to be an ***, but I just watched a shaky video of the back of a C6 weaving in and out of fairly heavy traffic at moderate speeds. I am dissapoint.

Your car sounds great though.

Gran sport corvette has dry sump 6.2l LS3 that makes about 430hp.

The guy was just messing with you..had he really gotten on it he would have walked away from you

Your car sounds throaty.

It would be very close based on the performance spec comparisons.

You think? The GS is a sub 4 second 0-60 car that runs mid 11s in the quarter if I'm not mistaken. A full bolt-on IS-F is high 11s, low 12s at best, right? I don't think it would be very close.

But of course flat out speed isn't everything, and obviously I'd rather have the IS-F.

Not even close.

C6 GS = 3300lbs
IS-F = 3800lbs

However anything can happen on the street!

Stock to stock, it's total destruction. But trust me, bus lengths can be achieved for our side
