Default Whats it take???

I need to know what it would take to beat a new c6 corvette?
I know i should pray alot
I have a stock car except for K&N cold air kit and under drive pulley, and I do not want to use the GAS!!! NOS
My car is a 1996 Trans am, and Im sick of punks with king kong sized hair dryer on their little wussy ricer car kicking my teeth in.
Also this cocky old fart at work has the new c6 and thinks hes the new king of shebua. All sturting around saying f-bodys are weak and telling me im a ***** for not racing him.
Any way I just want to stomp him. If I had my truck & trailer I would be on my way to my grandpa and picking up my bad girl Oldsmobile and then there would be no contest, I would ripe the c6 in half. Bored and stroke 455, ....wheel stander baby . The thing pushes like 825 horse. but its being stored up at my grandpas 4 1/2 hours away.
anyway any and all help will be great! thanks

Full bolt ons and a moderate to aggressive H/C setup should get you there.

You won't totally smoke him with that, but you should be able to take him and win.

You'd be surprised, on the street its more about getting a car that makes good power that hooks hard. We had a buddies bolt on gas LS1 car tear so much stuff up because it hooked hard on the street. A decent cammed or h/c on the bottle that can hook it out the hole, will run hard as hell

If you can hook you should have no problem at all with a decent size cam and decent heads...
