I'm confused. You said you raced and beat him by 5 cars. Then you asked what to expect when you race. My bet is you beat him by 5 cars. lol
In a 1/4 mile race you will probably get beat by the SS with LTs....if thats what youre trying to ask.

This is a driver's race.
don't fear loosing... race for the thrill of it, you both have awesome cars...
Honestly if this was a dyno competition he's gonna win. There are alot of difference between our cars and the F-body...
so again... This is a driver's race.

I have a 00 WS6 with SLP lid only and walked my friends 00 C5 A4, His is stock with a zip tie mod...
Kinda depends on the race, I think we went from around 60mph, Slow enough for me to be in 2nd and pull hard right at the go, Then I stopped pulling and kept my 2 car lengths at about 110mph

Maybe I missed it...are you M6 or auto? If you're auto, and you're doing a roll, I'm gonna have to say the SS is gonna show you his taillights. If you're both manual cars, then I'd say it's a drivers race with you possibly having a very slight edge.
my C5 is a A4 with B&B bullets vollant CAI i dyno 310 rwhp and 326 rwtq he never got his car dyno.... i beat a 05 GTO M6 LS2 with spintech exhaust, CAI, and diablo... i was woundering how it compare? i rode in the SS its nasty it pulls really hard bt its a manual... from a dig i know i will win because my car hooks really good but dunno bout a roll because of my auto

GTO's ARE SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
My 253hp LT1(previous f-body) that ran 14.1 was overlapping the rear bumper of a LS2 goat...
I wouldn't even use the GTO as a comparsion...
are you asking us if your going to win or loose so your next question is what you need to give you the biggest advantage???
honestly anyone that has raced on the streets enough knows the streets bring alot of variables. You have two cars that are set up completly differently.. One should be making more power ( the ss) but the other has shape, weight, and suspension as advantages. you have an A4 whcih will eliminate any error on your end where he can miss a shift. But if he misses a shift you will hear the bitching.. hey i missed a shift lets do it again :roll: So the race that will be the determining factor will be the one where he doesn't miss any shifts and doesn't completly blow off his tires... Assuming both work to his advantage it will be a close race.
The cheapest advantage i can think of for you would be to buy a vararam intake. (just bought mine for $280 shipped) or at the very least find out (go out and test) and see if your tires respond better to lower psi... If you can get some better traction and pull him outta the hole you should be able to at the very least hold him off for the whole 1/4. Make sure you know where the 1/4 is because he will probably be pulling on ya.
ALso cleaning your maf wouldn't be a bad thing to do before the race

No matter what configuration its going to be a close race. With the LTs on the SS he will gain lots of HP high in the RPM range preventing the C5 from picking up lost ground from the launch. IMO the SS will launch out 1 car on the Vette and hold that lead.
Keep us posted.
The vette will put the Camaro on its bumper from a dig and then the Camaro will pull past winning by about 1-2 cars.
My buddy had the same setup as you with a 3.15 geared car(his is an 04) and went consistent 13.3's@104. Then he got some LG longtubes and a tune and the first pass he did a 12.6@110.

EDIT: The A4 C5 went 12.7's on a CAI? I know they are fully capable of 12's stock, but its rare for an A4. Which gear option is in the car?
its a drivers race i just did it in real life between my old ss and my new c5 w/ 2 very good drivers (me being 1).... cars pull even 40-130 at 130 vette edges out by a nose till camaro lets off
