Default 04 vette vs. 02 z28

Just wanted to ask you vette owners (im jealous, really) how close would it be if I raced my buddies c5 (stock) vs my 02 Z28 w/ k$n fipk and cutouts. we never get a chance to race in san diego its a little too busy to just get out on the street and go, so we are gonna race in an 1/8 mi on sep 30 at Qualcomm Stadium. I figure he will beat me but I hope it will be closer than everyone says. Oh yeah, his is an a4 and mine is an m6. Any feedback would be cool thanx.

youd have a lot better chance in the 1/4 i think he will get you in the 1/8 no prob.
your m6 would probley get him or it would be close in the 1/4 though

Depends on the whole shot, he will likely hook before you and in the 1/8 the LS1 takes a bit before it starts to push. If he has a 2.73 gear you got him no porb. It will be down to the driver more then the cars. His race weight will make up for your M6 and cutouts. Have fun let us know how it turns out.

totally a drivers race. You'll take him just as likely as he'll take you. The cars are almost dead even. You do have the LS1 right?

In my opinion, you'll have a better chance from a dig, in the 8th mile, as long as your a good, no make that, great driver. Hopefully for your sake, he isn't. 3rd and fourth gear is the gear you need to watch out for on the vettes,...as they pull hard. Get yourself some tires and launch that thing. If you get him bad enough out of the hole, maybe he'll mind F*** himself....

the z28 has two obvious advantages one that its an m6 and another that it has some minor mods, but just be careful cause with just an intake i traped at 108 in 90 degree heat. o and drive the **** out of ur car.
