Got any drag radials?

Outta the box, the vette is faster... but... anything can happen on the street.

I would guess that as long as he doesn't blow the launch, he'll take you.

You're lighter but he's got the gears; Without gears and a TC he'll proably take you 0-60 and 1/4 (Top there would be no contest)
Slap in a 3.42 rear and TC and it will be a WALK!!

If you run a full quarter mile, chances are good you'll win. I've seen a bone stock 99 C5 convertible run 13.3s at 105, and it was 2.73 geared. A lot of the times that I see guys with M6 F-bodies at the track they have difficulty running quicker than 13.7s unless they have done a lot of drag racing. A lot of novices can't even get into the 13s. But with a 2.73 geared automatic you just floor it and away you go.

Back when I had my M6 LS1 Trans Am I could take an auto C5 fairly easy. When up against a M6 C5 though it could go either way. Given the circumstances I'd be hesitant to race for money if I were in your shoes.

What kind of times do you run in the 1/4 mile? Not doubting your car, just curious

man dont listen to blownzo6 or whatever that guys name is. he is tool!!!!!
jk jeremy. you never called me to let me know about helping with your car. if you need me to help just call me.

as far as vette vs fbody stock for stock you just never know. when i had my ss i beat a few but then i lost to a few. rear ends, how hard either car runs (because all cars run different stock) and the all mighty driver mod.
