I competed in this class. This was the Super Stock Class in the mid 2000s. I drove a Corvette, others chose to go with Vipers. Truthfully I think the Corvettes had the edge on most autocross courses. The regional championship and nationals were won by Corvette Z06s.

I remember getting your autograph on the back of my NBA jacket, when you jumped outta the car shouting out loud, H-E-L-L F-U-C-K-I-N-G YEAAAh baby.

Looks more like a tie. That GTS lap on Willow is unusually quick. The Viper is almost certainly faster, but this comparison isn\'t very well supported.
