Math-he weighs less and makes more horsepower. Does anyone else see a problem? Anything can happen street racing, and I'm taking you for a man of your word, but obviously there was something wrong with the vette going by your dyno #'s. Any car can be fast. Unit213's car would kill my bone-stock 6 speed. But I don't feel threatened because at the end of the day it's still a Corvette. Dan03Mach, the vette can lose man. I'm a Mustang owner with a 02GT in the stable now, two fox-bodies (89GT vert and 93 lx vert, 5.0's) and wnat a new one with the supercharger for the 500AWHP (one mod!!!!!!
). But the vette always has the advantage (lighter, more aero, larger displacement, superior suspension) mod for mod. But Im beating a dead horse we all know well.Moral of the Story-Mustang guys, quit givin us Hell, we aint picking on you just cuz your motor is smaller.
So quit trying to make it seem the Mustang is better than a vette, bc it isn't.

Race an m6 vette (stock, mine is), and watch out for 2nd and third gear. They pull so crazy high in th rpm's, and I know what I'm talkin about bc I did it this morning on the way to work. They are tall *** gears too.
Find a manual vete, stock, and tell the guy to shift every time at 5800rpms. See what happens and post up.

Dan, aren't the supercharger setups less expensive and make instant torque and power. We aren't looking for that much horsepower, I know turbo's are more efficient (my last car was a 92 VR4, 14psi on stock injectors), but I would appreciate whatever info you got for me.
I am planning on doing very small mods to the vette (its under an extended warranty), but the stang needs some mo powa!!!!
BTW, isn't it purty?

COngrats on whooping a C5.
Enjoy it.
Whats goes around, comes around. That goes for everyone...there always someone badder...just the way it is.
Props to BOTH for raceing. I'd say by todays standards, your lucky the vette even raced. As I went to a corvette cruise yesterday. And let me tell you, we were the three youngest dudes in there... and nobody aknowledged us.... yet, we had the fastest cars in the bunch. I don't think half the cars there where ever full throttle.

Guys he beat a stock LS1, trust me, mustang guys (NA stangs) get off to that ****, I know from personal expieriance. But if he is still running that little 75 shot he must be a good driver, cause a bolt-on 99-04GT on a 5 shot aint gonna do much more than 300-320rwhp. Nice kill bro.
