Default Stock SS vs 500rwhp Cobra??

-I get 5 cars and the hit
-He has 500rwhp and could only get a 12.2 at the track so he sucks pretty bad at driving.
- I can drive pretty well

I have a 2000 stock camaro SS vert m6.

Do you guys think I have him covered?

Not sure what speed you're going to but if its a dig-100 he will come flying past you.
120+mph traps > 105mph traps.

5 cars should be really easy to make up against a stock SS.
It depends on whether or not the guy can row it well enough to get the job done.

If it's a 12.2 on street tires and you don't go from a dead stop he's got you bad.

Ok well I guess I am not going to race him. Only reason I considered it is because one of my buddys in a bolt-on, stalled WS6 vert spanked him from a dig and he didnt catch up. the vert ran a 12.4 with 2.73 gears too. So i figured 5 cars and the hit from a dig I could beat him.

On the street I heard he spins all of 1rst and part of 2nd. I don't spin/bogg from a dig.

Shame, embarrassment, public humiliation, damaged pride, etc.

Race him - I think you might do better than you think. With 5 cars and the move as long as you can get off the line well AND you only go to 100 or so he may never catch up. Just know that by the time you hit 3rd he'll be coming up real fast.

There's no shame in losing to a boosted car that makes nearly twice the power as you do. But, if you beat him, well...
