vetts not living it up
well i went to the track last tuesday to run my 2000 camaro a4 only mod slp cai
well my first run was against an 04 vette(probably had the ls2?) well anyway i thought i was going to get my ass handed to me
The light turned green and we launched pretty even through the 1/8 mile but i did pull on him pretty hard through the quarter

2004 corvette 13.56 @104

Torrid Red- 05 GTO
04 Vette's did not have the LS2 from the factory. Everybody automatically thinks a vette will be fast, some are - some arent. Like most high performance cars, those that buy them dont know how to drive them.

Good run;
From my past experience when I had my C5, the corvette's advantage is in the higher speeds. It does feel nice to beat a more expensive car, but you know most would rather be in the vette if possible.

yeah the 04 corvette has the LS1 ( i think 365hp) unless it was a ZO6 ( 405hp), but like Vette said he probobly could not drive or had TConrol on or something. I remember that there was a dyno test performed on a 99 f-body and a 99 vette and the f-body put out more Hp to the wheels due to drivetrain, but vette weights less.
