i vote Lt1

Im hoping the vettes are alot faster then the tpi camaros;; thats all ive ever raced

 

My friend has an 88 vette (stock, I think) and always beat his cousin's 2000 Z28 (lid & muffler). I don't know if they went much past 80mph, but I would think the LS-1 would start to overcome the vette around there. At least that's when the 2000 Z would pass me.

 

I know you will spank him..I have beat 3 LT1 vettes in my Lt1 camaro and they are faster then the 88's........The tuneport vette runns high 14's it may aslo depend on the running condition of your car... good luck if you race

 

I think you will get raped in a stoplight race, if he can hook.
But in a 1/4 mile, you should get him by a few lengths.

 

vettes come with 2.54 gears (yes thats correct) or performance axle 3.07 with an automatic

on the race, it will be a good run no doubt, the vettes are no slackers. dont be surprised if he gets you in stoplight races.

 

ive got an 88 tunedport vette sitting in the garage that runs 14.0 at 100 nearly every time it has been run at the track.

 

Bone stock (even OEM TIRES, new ones- but OEM tires)
17 year old driver
6spd
13.8@102

And a later model TPI vette will ROMP an LT1 f-body down the 1/8th. After that, their in trouble.

 

the TPI vette according to my road and track magazines "old tests , ripped out pages " it runs high 14's . congradulations on your 13.8 that is a good time . But that car will not romp a good running LT1 thrue the 1/8 thats crazy , I see them run all the time at the track and they do no romping...... . The LT1 vette's tested at 13.9 in the quarter in road and track for a 92 LT1 and they are noted to be exeptionally quciker then the old tuneport , I know a guy that owns a cherry mint 89 vette and he will not race an LT1 camaro , he says " he gets beat everytime " I dont know I have been wrong before I was just speaking from personal experience

 

most street races dont even last an 1/8 mile.

 

1 vote for the LT1 over the L98.

 

I didn't get to race him tonight because of the rain. By the way we will be racing about a 1/4 mile on a road with very little traffic. I will update as soon as the race happens

sorry guys

 

You shouldn't have any trouble...not to say it will be cake, but I don't think you will lose. I've raced 3 older vettes...2 were late 80's models (the back had that angle thing to it) and the other was my friends 95. I beat all three and my camaro is by no means a beast. Everyone is right about up to sixty, but you should at least have a car on him...and then it is pretty much cake from there on out. About a month or so ago an older vette tried to race me on the highway...it was gold with a big wing on the back...and it wasn't even funny. For all I know it could of been a gold civic with a wing Anyways, if you can drive good then you should be okay...unless he has a blower or gas...

 

Just look for round tail lights, thats pre-LT1.

Couple mods and some TPI Vettes are claiming 13.7

 

Actually, 91 had the "LT1 body" and interior with the TPI engine.

Free mods get that thing to 13.7-
remove frisbee and !tb

"vettes come with 2.54 gears (yes thats correct) or performance axle 3.07 with an automatic"

Not true for '87.

Standard was 2.59. Optional 2.73 and Performance Gear 3.07.
It's right in my owner's manual.

Mine's a Z52 coupe and got the 2.73 gearset.
