Ok I just got home and on the way home i was on the on ramp to get on the highway, I was taking the curves pretty fast, but since no one else was around I saw no reason not too. Anyways there was a Corvette behind me keeping up with me, I look back right as im about to get on and theres nothing in front of us, I look to my friend and say looks like he wants to race.. I yells to me DOWNSHIFT! As soon as i do it he floors it too, I shut down at about 115 and surprisingly he only had about 1/2 a car on me??? I'm kinda shocked about this... But still it was fun!

 

what mods do you have??

 

What kind of vette?

Dan

 

I have the same questions as above.

 

There is some valueable information that is missing. WE NEED DETAILS!

 

It was probally a 95ish (around that year) sounded like it had an exhuast and was a convertible....

 

So it was an LT1 vette not an LS1. What mods do you have?

 

Im stock, just a flowmaster...

 

Vette should have pulled a little more I'd say...depending if its auto or 6 spd, the vert made it heavier.

 

If the Vette was mostly stock, then that sounds reasonable.

 

If it was a c4 its understandable they dont really pack that much more power then a LT1 Fbody

 

I am a past owner of a '97 Z28 6spd car. I have seen in recent "vette" threads about C4's you all are forgetting that a '96 LT4 Vette is a C4 and having driven both (see sig) I am telling you that an LT4 vette would completely waste a mostly stock LT1 f-body... especially from a roll like the race above. Now I don't particularly like the C4 style Vette (although I do like our Grand Sport), but some of you after reading some of these threads are gonna be awfully disappointed if you ever come across a LT4 Vette. Ours runs the 1/4 at 13.1@109. Now it may be a bit of a factory freak in the fact that it dynoed 317rwhp stock. Take that with a weight of a little more than 3100-3200lbs and your gonna have a quick car. Don't count out all C4's

 

i agree

 

I was also going to say there is an 87 L98 Vette running very low 13's@103 with mostly stock all free mods. K&N filter, open air box, MAF descreened, TB Bypassed, 160* T-Stat, Accel Super Coil, 12* degree advance timing, front Y pipe, hi-flowcat, hayden tranny cooler, and No Mufflers and with a 2.59 rear gear. He now added some long tubes and is having trouble hooking up so he is running only about 1 tenth faster 13.1@106, but he gained some mph from it. So you never know what you will run into to.
