Default Reo's STS Vs. Vortech'd Z28

What if? What if the world was based on what if's? After a coworker gets his car broken in about a 1000 more miles of driving, we're supposed to go at it. His 97 Vortech is pushing 7# and his engine is completely rebuilt (using stock parts... why? I have no idea!) Besides that he's stock. I don't think I should have a problem? What do you all think? - Reo

i think you'll trash him unless he is a liar about his modifications.

What's going to make this that much more worse is that he just spent all the money got re-enlisting in the military on buying this car and getting a new engine for it. I know i've spent a pretty penny on my car but since it's got tuned it's definitely been producing for me.

i raced a 97 vortech'd lt1 on 7psi with my sts at 8psi. with no traction, i still walked him easy. he even got the jump when i was spinning. if you can drive, you wont have a problem in the world.

if the vids are still hosted ill get them up
