This Corvette is almost 16yrs old. Even with todays standards I have yet to see a car as impressive.



One Bad Vette



254. 76mph:--)

The Viper isn't that much faster than the cheaper Z06 Vette when traction is closer to equal. I have watched stock Z06 Vettes on drag radials run 11. 70s all day. For the difference in price give me a Z06 with a 150hp shot of juice. I could run 10s in the 1/4 and still knock down decent fuel mileage. Of course it's much more fun blowing Vipers away with my Dad's little V6 Buick T-Type which also runs deep in the 11s. I'm much more impressed with his T-Type than my high 10 low 11 second big block Buick Skylark.

I just wanna beat a stang or two.

Talked to a Mustang guy about the car he was driving Tuesday(his). Seems that the windows suck in at 170, on the way to 185. He and a 1000cc motorcycle ran up to that speed and he was AHEAD of the bike. (I forget what pile of letters goes with it. )



Can you say "knife at a gunfight"? CTD vs. That?



But then he is a tech at the tuning shop where we do dyno runs.

I have two Corvettes the 99 was stock 100% and ran 13. 01 @108. I road race it now and it would do probably 11. 3's it has 455 RWHP & 403 FT with heads and cam & stock 346 displacement. New ZO6 is Mid 12's even low low 12's. I don't know what the truck would need to beat one but considering the Vette is 31?? lb. 600 HP is not over estimating it I beleive. Good Luck. Challenge him to a tug of war keep us posted.

I got it. Simple answer.



Catch him out in the rain, launch in 4WD.

2002 Corvette conv. auto trans. He was a good friend of mine, we raced kickdown, 60 to 120mph on the highway. He said you nail it then I'll just walk past you. so we were side by side @ 60mph I get on it his front bumper is even with my mirror and that is were it stayed until 120mph. we did it 3 more times with the same result.

Like I said, he WAS a good friend of mine. Like Snowman said It takes alot of money to beat a stock vette, even more to play with a Z06.

KOOL deal Jarhead!



If our trucks would pull to 150 like they do to 120 NOBODY would want to play!

Don't use the stock manual transmission that's for sure. It pulls hard for sure, but its not a racing transmission.
