mine is! i feel so lucky

 

these are the times I have listed for both cars stock

95 Corvette LT1 auto 2.59 13.6@103
00 Z28 auto 3.23 13.3@104

so If they are even in the 1/4 with the same mods, I'm guessing it's due to more wheelspin and a worse 60-ft for the Z especially with those traps.



I doubt the Vette was totally stock then, from those speeds a 245-250hp L98 Vette is not stronger than a 300hp Mustang. At a stoplight I'm sure it's really close. I took an automatic Stang with my lightly modded Formula 350 pretty easy at a light, out on the highway it probably would have been a different story.

 

I messed with one a few times.

First time we were at a light side by side and he jumped a bit and got ahead and held it till about 60 then we let off.

Second time we were at the next light and I was behind him. He takes off like a bat out of hell on green and so do I. As soon as I hit second I change lanes and start to pass. By the time I hit third I had a car and am pulling slowly.

Third time is 60 roll. We went on 3 honks and probably launched perfectly. I heard both cars downshift at the same time. I put about 3+easy lengths on him @ 130. Not sure exactly how many because he was hard to see because the setting sun was in my mirror bad.

Definitely better race than stock 05+ gt mustang. Very close for me when I was completely stock.

His mods......at least exhaust
Mine............bone stock B4C 3:23 A4

 

The problem with stock LT1 A4 corvettes is the rearend gearing. But once the 2.59 rear is swapped for some 3.45s it is a totally different car.

Here's unbiased numbers from Mr. Mojo's cars as posted on CF


1995 Torch Red Coupe 6 speed
See all my 2000 times here
Best 60' 1.933(street tires)
12.976@106.49mph(11/17/01,no changes from previous best)
12.995@107.65mph(Cut air lid,muffler eliminators)
13.07@108mph completely factory stock
1993 Torch Red Coupe A4
13.37@102mph completely factory stock
12.50@108mph-Corsa,2800 converter,3.45 gears and some Weld wheels

 

I had a buddy a few years back...I had a 2004 auto C5 and he had a 1996 auto C4...We went to the drag strip several times together...

My best 100% stock was a 13.5 at 100-103 ( strong auto C5 hitting 299 rwhp SAE)
His best 100% stock was a 13.9 at 97-100
The M6 LS1 Fbody's were running 13.6-13.9 at 99-103 mph dead stock
The auto LS1 Fbodies were running 13.8-14.1 at 97-100 mph dead stock

The point is that yes a stock LT1 C4 can defiently give a Fbody a run for it's money..My jaw dropped when I saw the 13.9 at 100 on the time slip, as that was very close to my 13.5 at 103...

 

last March I bought my bone stock 95 corvette automatic coupe (3.07 gears) I basically did a tuneup, magnaflow mufflers and a fairbanks servo and finally got the chance to run an automatic LS1 Trans Am and beat it both off the line to about 70 by over a car and out on the highway up to about 110 by about a car.

I also raced my own 98 WS6 vert several months ago with my cousin driving it and completely destroyed him but that was with a spun bearing and probably running on 6 cylinders....I'm gonna rematch him with him in the Vette this time as soon as my LS6 crate is finished being put in my WS6.

 

i have raced my dad in his vette and with my 2.73's i beat him by 1/10 sec. with only a catback lid and filter
