Question for u vette owners . . .
Dean
My buddy gets a 1.9 60 ft time to my 2.2 (run flats),he has a 6 speed /3:42 gears,to my auto 3:15 gears.
I was just posting that for the guy to compair too,if the other car was a z,he would not have won.
The Lambo orange ZO6 vert is a 2001,12.8 is that cars times.
Sorry if i offended any fbody owners,i was just stickin up for the vette,seems like when a guy sticks up for his vette,he's an instant a-hole.
Anyways it is VERY possible and not a BAD idea to take a Stock Z28 put a cam like say a LPE GT3-2 and borla exaust on it. That would be a nice setup, would it run 11's no but it would be a big improvement on stock. There have been a number of cam only no bolt ons cars. Plus why the hell would you assume. My WS6 got 415rwhp with 230 cam, hand ported stock vavle unmilled heads, Kooks and lid. NOTHING else was I a MORON for that setup??? (well the whole reason it was more than headers at the time was a striped header hole so yes I guess I was a Moron on that case
)Nobody talked any **** about the F-body, although there are alot of Vette owners like the original guy this poster was talking about that are idiots, just like alot of SS and WS6 guys think there car is WAY faster because they have a hood and wheels. BUT I think at least 95% of the people on this board are smarter than that so how bout giving them a break.
Plus if you read my thread you will see where I DO THINK a CAM and Borla car could take a Z06, although I think weight and stock F-body suspension are against him. You figure you could get 350-360 rwhp out of a cam only borla 01+ if you had a strong car to begin with. It would be all driver at that point. **** that is being nice. It is actually all driver with a Stock SS against a Z06 so all this is just a bunch of bench racing.
I guess I'll just take my SLOW *** PIECE OF **** 01 Z06 for a drive now.
Peace.

And you forgot a Z06 typically puts down anywhere from 352 - 358 rwhp STOCK. Mine did 362 rwhp STOCK. Anyway, at 3100 lbs, the Z06 has about 400-500 lbs of weight advantage and is geared lower. So if they had the same rwhp, the Z06 should win due to those significant advantages.

Here is the quote:
by the way, we raced and i beat him.. i only have a cam and borla muffler. (stock cat-back..i'm a racer on a budget )
If he's on a budget and said he ONLY has a cam and a Borla muffler, why would I assume that he has a full exhaust system and all of the mods? Who is the moron here? You obviously don't understand what you read!
And what is this: If I ask for your opinion, I'll give it to you !
What? I think the saying is: If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it.
Thus proving once again YOU are the true MORON...LOL!!!

LOL I agree with you but the "key" word there is Should again in Bench racing yes the Z06 has the advantage for awhile, but in the real world it can be different story.
I'm not talking any smack remember I own a Z06

I also assumed if someone had a full exhaust system that they would say so and not just claim a Borla muffler and then make the statement that they are a racer on a budget! white00ws6, do you have a full exhaust sytem or any other performance components you haven't named?

Lots if's in any arrangment though so you to me the only blanket comment you can make is a Stock Z06 will beat a stock SS. Case in point my friend has 01 A4 c5 on the street he would kill my 93 H\C car. At the track it was different I'd get a huge jump on him although I think in a half mile run he'd take me.
We are in agreement, I'm just playing devils advocate, but I STILL want to see your damn dyno graph!!!!!

I was just making a general statement based on facts, assuming equal drivers and equal traction.
Plus the only reason that i raced that vette was to see if it were a z06 or not. i confirmed since i did beat it that it was NOT a z06. the car never had the z06 wheels, emblems or nothing to prove that it was a z06. my car is a a4 if that means anything. it felt good beating the vetter
. i expected to get my *** kicked since my car feels like a yaht and i knew that the vette would be lighter. But thanks for all the imput guys
It's a fact that i would be throwin down in a second if someone talks like that to my face..So why hide behind a keyboard and do it..It's attitudes like that,that keep me away from certain forums.Looks like i'll be seeing you guy's later and adding this one to the list
Dean based his opinion on my stock ZO6 and his SS. I have also raced a very nicely set up WS6(bolt on/headers/cam only with 400rwhp) on a couple of occassions. I would beat him down low due my gearing. We did several rollons from about 50mph sometimes up to 150mph and we were dead even. He would have got me with gears. So with gears AND 400rwhp I think it would be safe to say the F-body wins. Take away any of the horsepower or take away the gears and it becomes more interesting.
Anyway, I don't know what you call a race. I know a 325rwhp A4 vette that runs well into the 11s.....and traps all of 110mph....so what. If you live for the ET on a timeslip, more power to ya. I got my assed spanked by a CRX turbo.....so what. I could have spanked him from a dig....so what. Sorry your manliness is somehow attached to how fast your car is. It seems it obviously lacks elsewhere.
