buddy at work So my buddy at work wants to race my 96' z28. i'm not sure what kind of chance i have because he drives an s2000 and i couldn't be more uninformed about that car. what i do know is he has aftermarket headers and and aftermarket intake. No turbo and i believe he has exhaust but i can only see tips so i'm not sure. My car is a stock displacement Lt1... and no mods other than my michelin tires. 17" 235 fronts and 18" 255 rears but that's all. what are my odds? :/ before i race this guy and potentially look like a fool hahaha
This may be the wrong thread for this sort of post, but it seemed to be the most relevant.

Horsepower output of the Honda S2000 is ~240hp stock. (4 cyl)
In my opinion, he might have you. The fact you have 0 mods on that LT... its gonna hurt for that run.
Go run him either way. Just a friendly run... unless you've been trash talking his import? LOL

Should be a good run from a dig but he will probably pull you from a roll. If he can drive worth a **** it should trap just over 100 in the 1/4 mile. Your stock lt1 would be lucky to break 100.

The trash talk was all in fun. Nothing insulting.
I just poke fun at imports when hes around.
I always tell him im going to order a vtec for my camaro
And change all of my badging to acura, si and gsr emblems
So i can be hella flush jdm.
He just laughs because he knows im teasing lol

lol sounds exactly like my friend from highschool who owned an auto 97 ws6 the car with exhaust or whatever else and lost to my friends intake catback 06 SI. He never really talked bad about civics after that.

Wow i seriously only give him a hard time, it's barely considered trash talking. And i dont dislike imports. Im a huge Nissan/Nismo fan. More than camaro. I also came really close to buying an 93' FD Rx-7 project a few months ago. It just wasnt worth the asking price so i had to turn it down. Its all in fun lol i promise. And if we had my dads old punched Rb28 240z i wouldnt have said anything because it wouldnt be fair and it wouldnt be fun. I look for a fair race, im not trying to say im the best and imports suck. Just pokin fun lol thats all.

I raced several at the tracks in my Altima and we were pretty close both in the mid/upper 14s at 97-99. From a roll race in 2nd I put a couple cars on my buddies stock s2000 with a 3.5 Altima 5 speed.
I think your LT1 will take him unless he has some significant tuning gains from those headers, which I doubt. That stock engine is pretty close to max output N/A in stock trim.
They are damn near becoming a vintage car themselves now you know, from the first Fast and Furious lol.
From a dig you will put enough cars on him to hold him off through a 1/4 mile assuming you can launch decent. Race him!

We need to know if you're an A4 or an M6. I think it'll be a driver's race either way. Try for a dig, especially if you're an auto. That's your best bet, those little cars are quick, but they don't respond well to NA mods because they're about maxed out from the factory. Good luck, and PLEASE get it on video!
