Do you think a stock 95 Z28 M6 could beat a 95 Mazda RX7 TT also stock?
Not sure if this is the right section but thought the LT1 guru's could tell.
My friend can't shift very well and I know the LT1 pulls very hard. Thanks in advance.

Depends on the driver, etc...so many variables.

Stock for stock with two good driver's it'd prob be a very good race. He'll try and reel you in up top.

A '95 RX7 is a series 6 FD. The sequential twin-turbo rotary engine was rated at 255hp/217tq with a 4 speed auto or 5 speed manual weighing just about 3000lbs, rear wheel drive. It's not slow...good enough for low 14's. But I think the race will be close. Only one way to find out who will win.

Depends how far you go and how well you each drive.

Wrong section BTW. We have a bench racing subforum.
