Default MTI H/C Camaro VS. MTI H/C Corvette

Well Guys I have MTI
Head/Cam package 2002 SS. I ran into a Electron Blue Corvette at the track with the exact same setup, so we raced 3 Times. I took him the 3 times AT THE TRACK. My 12.0 to his 12.3 . NEITHER OF US SPRAYED. (Elevation sucks here at our track).

BOTH are AUTOMATICS

So he asks if I want run on the street. So I said OK. But I made him take out his bottle and so did I .

We went from a 30 mph roll ON THE STREET, and I was confident I would win. On the 3rd honk I get the jump, and he just Flew by me Like I was in reverse! Same outcome out of 5 Races. So I made my Bro ride with him just to make sure he wasnt spraying(Which he didnt), SO I get the jump and he waits a while and floors it. In no time he caught me and flew by me again
My bro verified that he was not spraying

That SUCKER HaulS!!!

Anyway, he admittee that he doesnt know how to race at the track so this Friday were running his car for him.

BTW: He put on the bottle that night and Im not even going to tell u what happened

BTW: Both of us had slicks. Just goes to show that its different on the street.

We also both have the 3000 stall.

I have found respect for Corvettes.

What the Hell is the elevation there?

You guys should be way past 12.0s on slicks.

Great runs!!! And camaro, those ZR1s are definitely the shiznit. There are a couple of tuners that stroke them to 415 and put down about 500rwhp on all motor.

HRP is amazing. I've never ran it, but seen NHRA Oreilly nationals this year and records were breakin like crazy. Guys I know run there all have very fast time. I really believe it could be the best track in the country..

Oh, and by the way. This is a good post to show to all people who always want to compare C5, SS, and WS6. Same mods down to the tires. After you get to drive his car you might even end the damn debate finally.. I thank you..

With your mods though, you could easily take out most of the C5's out there ...

I'd sure love to have his big brother with those mods... :p

First two vettes I ever drove were 90 and 92 LT5s. Interestingly the 90 felt the strongest but was unfortunately totaled. Going to be an expensive, but very cool, car to maintain through the years.
