Wrong section of the forumn.

380 hp from a k&n?

If you really make 380rwhp and your a good driver you should win.
If both cars are stock (except for your k&n) the z06 will win.

Alright then. It has 380fwhp and the 04 Z06 has 405fwhp. Not something I would put a grand on.

unless the z06 driver can't race for ****, you're in trouble. even in your blackbird the z06 is gonna mop the floor with you.

If I were you, I'd spend a grand on a NOS system and a tune for it, go race him , win the grand and end up with a free NOS system for your car. My.02

Otherwise, even if he misses a shift, you're still going to lose. The weight factor, combined with his power advantage will quietly put your money in his pocket.

It'll be a cakewalk with a 100 shot though.

z06 hands down. even if you had the same power he's got at least 300lbs of weight advantage and better gearing.

Don't race the way you are right now. Lose some weight first or get a power adder before you race him. Let us know what happened.

Did you not hear what I said? Spend a grand, do a nos setup with a good tune, and then go beat his ***, and take the grand.... easy FREE nos setup, and a easy win.

Go, give your money away.

Don't do it. I raced a Blackbird and walked him. I only have 373rwhp and it weighs 3625 with me in it. I haven't raced a 405hp ZO6 yet but I'm pretty sure it would take me.

But if you're that anxious to give away $1K, I'm willing to run you in my lowly Z28.

You will have your *** handed to you on a silver platter, if you race that Z06.JL WS6 has a good idea, juice the car and then win your money back.
