I've got a buddy with a 1000 rwhp c5 vett that wants to race me in the 1/4 or highway. He has traction problems just spins for days on michelin streets, it's also methanol injected.

I have 509 rwhp and run the 1/4 @ 11.85 @118mph on bfg drags. What do you guys think? Do I have a chance? :shrug:

If it has 1000 you dont have much of a chance especially from a roll. If you go 1/4 mile and he has real bad traction problems you could win, but 1000rwhp in a lighter car should be faster no matter what.

He probably could go 1/2 throttle and beat you. I'm sorry, he is going to kill you in any race. 1000rwhp is enough to trap in the 140-150 range easily. Take the beating anyway, just for kicks.

I Think With A 250shot Of Nitrous And A Better Tune Would Give You Guys A Better Run With That Chevy. My Car Puts Out 585rwhp On Spray With No Ported Eaton Just Imagine If I Had A Port Job Your Numbers Do Not Sound Right. By The Way ,what Shot Are You Running Anyways ? Nice Car Man Wheels Are Nice Too .

lingenfelter 427 smallblock with pro charger FA1 . This car is bad and I'm not the guy that he wants to race I'm not that dumb.! From what I know about the car he has close to 30gs in the drivetrain. Just asking for someone else, I'm with you guys, he'll get crushed.

Dude even if you had the same horse power numbers you would still get raped . I think the more money into any car the faster you are on any given day considering having the same two drivers, the vette is just so much lighter but must say cheaply made to many squeeks nice looking though. Good luck and my the cobra be with you :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
