Default Going to put my boss in his place

Ok for the last couple weeks my boss has been talking **** about my car. he drives a cadilac, its a 2002 something (the big *** 4 door with the recangular exhaust tips with 2 holes cut in them) his car apparently has a 'chip in it'. both he and his son told me how it beat a c5 corvette. Really, how stupid are people today, how is a front wheel drive 4 door boat going to even stay at my bumper? now my car is not really fast, but it goes, 375@wheels cam only A4. I was then told by a former coworker that my *** would be handed to me by her new C6 powered by an LS3 ??? WTF, this lady has never drove stick before in her life and thinks she it going to beat me? my question is; Honestly, how bad will I stomp on these things?

Unless it's a CTS-V then you'll kill it. And even though she doesn't know her engine, she still has 400hp, but I doubt she can drive.

a cts-v usually won't even hit 12's so you have nothing to worry about. if it is a cts-v then they have to worry about wheel hop.

smoke his *** in his lead sled caddy. to some people 13's is "insane" because they have never been in a "fast" car before, all the while i think low 12's is nothing special- show him what's up.

Ya I meant that only a CTS-V wouldn't get killed, but still lose. Not sure what chips do for them though?

It's either a Deville, or a Seville, both Northstar powered, (between 270-300 hp depending on option packages), not a bad performer, but nowhere near a stock F body and since you have a few mods, you should tear him a new one

the CTS-V wheel hops worse than my 5.0 ever did. One of them launched next to me (in town, i didnt bite 35mph speed limits...yeah...) and all he did was hop, I laughed.

You will take the caddy with ease.
The C6 would be a good race if they had a good driver. They are only putting down 35xhp/34xtq stock
if you have 375 at the rear, my bet would be on you even with the weight difference. Unless your planning on going way over 100mph..then the vette would catch you.

Sounds to me like they are egging you on. WTF is dumb enough to talk about an LS3? Seriously. Nobody who would even know what an LSx engine is would be dumb enough to forget its a 2 and not a 3.

Still, have fun if they actually show. It wil be about like a UFC fighter against a highschool intramural boxing newbie. Ugly, but really fun to watch.

I would think that the Vettes advantage would be in the low end. Weight really does not mean very much after 100. F-Bods and Vettes arent that different aerodynamicly are they? And his gearing (I think) has plenty of steam left at 100.

I would bet on him over a stock C6 period.

The oldschool Caddy wont know he lost untill he gets passed because the next race started.

Vette's usually have great top end pull. The light weight plus aerodynamics make up alot over 100mph.
Yak's car would take him at first then it would be a matter of holding on to the lead when getting into the higher mph. especially with the A4 against a M6.

my car has some weight reduction done to it. it was a 3390 with a full tank of gas and a bunch of books and cd's in the trunk. my boss does not have a cts-v, it is a deville, i checked yesterday at work. the race would probibly go from a dig to about 2000ft, so my boss is really screwed and I am not worried about the vette, since my car will have heads on it by then so I should be pushing over 400 at the wheels on a good tune. I really want to get this on video since my boss just laughs at the fact that I will beat him. I just don't want to end up looking like our old best street racing friend predator 03 or whatever that ******* name was. apparently the deville is chipped (wtf are people really that stupid) so I told my boss it was a little worried since my car didn't have a chip yet.
