The C7 is a nice car and actually is better all around then a stock Shelby "notice I said stock" so I'm not sure why people would take the hit to trade on one.

With that said I'd be honest about what I have under the hood if money was involved. However, there is nothing saying the person I'm going to race against is honest.

I would say if the guy that got beat wants to act like a two year old that's HIS problem. I have a tendancy to downplay my mods. People have lower expectations that way and if you do get beat people won't get all over you so much about it.
It's always best to remain humble. Let the car do the talking.

Well, there's no such thing as a "small" lie. It's still a lie. In other words; He's not stock, and you're not stock, period. Fair race.

yes the sleeper, like a stock 87 Buick Regal T-Type with the 60/40 split velour bench seat interior 3.8 V6 turbo GN motor as an example.
