My 08 Corvette vs. Modded Lotus Esprit

[SoonToBeASnake]

Did some runs with a friend last night that has a 04 Lotus Esprit. From what I know he has the boost turned up and has straight pipes making 390whp. My car is a 2008 Corvette with a Halltech Killer Bee Intake. Here's a few vids of us going from a 3rd gear roll roughly 70mph. He had a passanger to film the run, I was alone. I'll have a few more vids later from a lower roll as well. One of my best runs to date for sure :beer:

What rwhp do you think your putting down?

 

[SVTullio]

That's my boy!

From what I hear, the runs from 2nd gear were brutal, cant wait to see em!

For those that dont know. The Lotus Esprit is a Twin Turbo V8 weighing at roughly 3000 lbs

What rwhp do you think your putting down?

'08 LS3 Vettes are putting down 370-375 to the wheels stock so id say he is around 380 maybe 385. If he got a tune he would easily be at 400 rwhp. Not jaw dropping rwhp but there quick for what they are, 12.30's to 12.50's showroom stock is rollin out

If that elise is actually putting down 390whp than your vette has to be a monster. Elise weighs ~1850lbs

edit: i'm a noob haha

Automatics put down those numbers. Mine is a manual without the higher flowing exhaust and made the stock numbers in my sig. The manuals with the higher flowing exhaust average 390+whp.
