Default 2002 Z28 Vs 2002 WS6.

I just raced a 2002 WS6 from a 20mph roll his mods where headers, 3inch ory with a bassani catback. My mods in sig. He took me by about 1 1/2 car. The only thing I can think that hurt me was I had a 200 pound passenger and my 18 inch wheels what do you all think?

he must of had a strong car, or he got the jump on you....IMO I dont think he should have pull 1.5 cars on you if you both left at the same time, when I had my '02 TA I raced my friends brother in his 99' 30th ann Ram Air TA and we were both stock(he had a flowmaster catback, I was completely stock) both M6, and we were dead even(I may have been a couple inches in front) from 30-120 then we shut down

Everyone knows the T/As are faster.

Too many variables...I'll tell you one thing though...my car ran like **** with headers until I tuned it. Some PCMs react better than others to that mod. That's about the only thing I can think of...your passenger and heavy wheels didn't help either.

My car ran really rich after headers as well. It actually felt like I lost power. A tune will help.

Badass looking car dude, been wanting a SS hood and the SOM paint for a long time, need to get some decent mods in first though. Too bad I'm always broke . Good runs.

The only thing I can think of other then the extra weight is maybe he had gears.

Dude youd be suprised how bad extra weight hurts. We did a little test with my fat friend switching cars between my EVO and my freinds EVO. Shocking results to say the least. Switching the fat guy made up to a car length difference EVERYTIME!

Bassani makes great exhaust.
