i got this buddy at work whom is helping me install the heads and cam, his brother has a 2008 corvette with an auto all stock, he said that he is gonna smoke my ass, my car is an m6 vert with alot of bolt-ons heads and cam and it has almost new 285 series bfg's im thinking that i should walk him easily what do you guys think

As long as you have decent skills(not to start a fight) the vette will be staring at honey combs

**stangslayer98** · 07-31-2008, 05:44 PM

my rowing skills are average im not john force by any means, but i can shift

**dpinson** · 07-31-2008, 05:46 PM

get you some et streets/not radials on 15's and launch it at 4500
bye bye vette

but bye bye ten bolt also

but seriously it will probably be close depending on how tough your setup ends up being
but with h/c i would favor you as long as you can get that beast outta the whole

I think it would be really close. Depends if you put a monster cam in and awesome heads on though.

Let us know the outcome.

**Zboner** · 07-31-2008, 05:49 PM

going to be close for sure

**stangslayer98** · 07-31-2008, 05:50 PM

yea traction was manageable to say the least prior to the heads and cam, now that you mention it that vette should squat and blast of like a bat from hell............the heads are prc's 5.3 cam is 232/234 595 598 lift

**Spaz** · 07-31-2008, 05:51 PM

Spaz would drop down from the heavens and say "dudes... give me $20.00 and i won't pee in your cars butt" and then once paid manifest some where else... so Spaz wins...

**Zboner** · 07-31-2008, 05:51 PM

dont the 08's come stock with 430hp or something?

**Spaz** · 07-31-2008, 05:51 PM

That they do!

**dpinson** · 07-31-2008, 05:54 PM

downsized to what about 390rwhp in a lighter car and id say it will be tough

**Zboner** · 07-31-2008, 05:56 PM

anyways it will be a drivers race, and we have no idea what kind of H/C he is running either.

He said PRC 5.3s and a Torker 2 cam a few posts up. Its a nice combo.

**ibanez7** · 07-31-2008, 06:59 PM

a 2008 vette will launch with better traction because the car is built with that power in mind. your car was not. Plus the vette is lighter.

what suspension mods do you have?

As stated above if you want to win, get ET Streets, but kiss you 10 bolt goodbye.
Otherwise your launching at from idle or spinning the tires forever. Also stock 3.42 gears suck.

i would put my money on the vette from a dig, from a roll, hard to say could go either way!

**nhraformula** · 07-31-2008, 07:10 PM

out of the whole, chances are the vette will walk you .
while your car will have over 400 rwhp, the vette wont be all to far behind with rwhp and the rwhp advantage you have will be negated by the fact the vette weighs less.

**lemons12** · 07-31-2008, 08:58 PM

very close.. from a 50 roll to 140.. the vette..

dig to 100.. you.

**0rion** · 08-01-2008, 10:20 AM

I'm gonna say you'd win and here's why.

Most of the vettes I ever see at the track run way slower than what they should. The reason is either a crappy driver or a driver that doesn't want to beat on the car to much. I'm gonna guess this guy paid a damn good penny for his vette so he's not going to be beating on it as hard as you will yours. End result is you should beat him.

disclaimer:
I'm not implying that all vette drivers are shitty drivers......I'm simply stating that what I see at the track and on the street leads me to believe that a lot of vette drivers don't get as much out of the car as they should for whatever reason.
