93lt1vs C5 Corvette
I used to own both a '94 Z and a '98 T/A both w/ catbacks. The Z had CAI and the T/A was otherwise stock except the free mods. On the same dyno the Z put down 271 RWHP while the T/A 311 for a 40 horse difference. This story is believable but I would have to say that race these two again and again and the Vette will win probably 9 times out of 10.

The vette was a stick i could tell by the way i jumped on him after the launch..he went..then shifted ...thats where i jumped on him...i know that he should have beat me and thats why i was not going to even try and race him from the beginngin. I have raceed other C5's pm the freeway and gotton smoked its all about the car what he has in it and how he drives it too. ...but it is street racing and **** happens like casper said....i mean things go bad or he could have mishifted, or something but a kill was a kill we gave each other thumbs up after and it was all koo....and yes it happened in San JOse CA.

I owned a 94 that was kinda a freak from the factory bone stock A4 car ran 13.60 @ 102. It was a weird car I could pull 1.80 60' with it on street tires all day long. Dont know what was up with that car wish I still had it RIP. You hear of a freak LT1 every once in a while. But as someone posted earlier if you raced it agian the C5 would prob win 9 out of 10 times

yea im not denting that he would win more times than none...but the one time we raced i won and it felt good....i wouldnt mind running into him again in a while and see what happpens again all for good fun...but as soon as i got my car i thought it was a factory freak ...and all the time when i race people think i am spraying on them and i have 373 gears.....that was when i was stock.....no headers....no one believed me that i was stock....it was a good feeling to think people were thinking i was spraying and i was stock

Edit. And you have to be careful of when people say they are stock. Some people think CAI, free mods, weight reduction and Drag radials still qualifies them as stock

He wants everyone to believe that all LT1's run mid 13's stock when in fact most do not.
Believe it or not there are corvette owners out there that don’t shift past 5000rpm. My day will run it hard and bang thru the gears chirping 2nd and 3rd, but he shifts at 5k. He just doesn’t see any reason why he needs to shift any higher when having fun on the street.
