Default Could This happen? just curious?

Hey all you ls1 ls2 guys! Just wandering if I could run with a 01 Z06? The only reason why I was asking is because a guy on my road keeps harassing me to run him but I dont think I have a chance. I was just wanting yalls input on the sanerio. thanks guys for the help.

Do you know if that Z06 is modded?

Who knows, race him and find out.

Not to the ground. If it is an 01 I think they are rated 385 at the flywheel. I think it would be a good race between you two if all he has is exhaust. What kind of time are you doing at the track? That will help tell the story.

How much power you putting down again?

I beat an 02 z06 from a dig by about 2 1/2 cars when I was making 418rwhp, my car weighed 3300#s. The guy I beat in the Z ran a 12.1 at I thing it was 117. I was 2 tenths better but trapped 116.

Holy ****... where did you come from!?!? Haven't seen you post in ages.



If he's stock, I'd think you would beat him by a decent bit... but... why don't you race him and find out?

From a dig I think you should be able to get him but his weight will plays a roll in this so he might creep up but you never know. From a roll man it's hard to say. But good luck and tell us the out come.

My guess is that you get a car or 2 from a dig and he reels you in near 90.
From a 45-60 roll, I say yall stay within a 1/2 car of each other (depends on who gets the jump) and he inches past as speeds climb.

I disagree, the 20 hp doesn't matter as much as the driver. My 01 dynoed 360/363 and I was pretty much only able to pull half my car ahead against a 400 rwhp WS6 6spd from 30-100.

Heck no! Go buy some cheap 15 inch rims. I run a 15 with a 26" Hoozier QTP. That tire is 11.5 inches wide. You can pick up some good street slicks cheap if you shop around. Go spend a couple of hundred dollars and you will hand him his *** in a back hoe with both hands holding it in so none falls out. LOok around and you could find a wheel tire setup like what I am talking about for around 250. It will be a good one as you sit though. I would put my $$$ on you if you can drive worth a ****. Good luck and go race man! Tell us how it comes out.
