alright heres the deal, i met this girl at school, her dad owns a 2004 c5 ls1,auto.(she says he'll let me drive it :naughty: :grinno: :flipa: ) any way i told her that my car was probably faster hehe, she told that to her dad now we settle the dispute this weekend. Can i get some specs on the 2004 c5,cause i dont want to lose and look like an ass plus shes dam hot, i would look it up but im lazy and i wanted to share.
weight
gear ratio
0-60
1/8
1/4
all the good stuff

oh i will post pics when it happens, but they will be around the same quality as my sig(not so great) bc they are off my camera phone.

You got a stick correct? A 04 C5 has 350 horsepower...an auto can get to 60 in about 5 seconds...If you have a stick, I think you could take him...

if your car is bone stock, you only have a chance if your launch is perfect and your shifts are perfect and she sucks at driving. if you've got some mods, and you're a decent driver, you should be able to take on the vette.

What do you have besides rims?

her father is driving and yes mines a 6spd and i will add my mods to my sig

Last time I was at the track, I ran a C5. I have no idea what it had done, if anything, but it went 12.9 to my 12.74. I trapped at 106, and he was pulling on me, so his trap was definately higher. It helped that I cut a 1.89 60ft. :grinyes: You better bring your A-game if he's a decent driver, because those little suckers can roll on. Also, keep the race around a 1/4. If my race with one would have been on the street he would have rolled by me alittle over the 1/4 mark. Of course, the car I ran could have had a goodie or two, but just watch out for it. :biggrin:

What tires are you running? I assume traction is an issue with those gears? This race will be won at the line and definately by the first 300ft.

Just running the 1/4???

Or running from a roll??

I do believe if that Vette is stock, it should be a VERY close race.

And that note, I ran doors with a Z06 once. He had exhaust done, and I was right before the cam install.

A stock C5 and a stock F-Body make for a decent race. Normally the Vette pulls out the win thanks to being 350-400 pounds lighter. Both cars put down about the same on the dyno when stock.

Good luck, get some video!!!!!

In a drag with those gears my money is on you

yeah the gears will pull you ahead if u can drive.

As long as you're calm and don't get all nervous and fuck up..you should either win or lose respectably. If you lose, pretend like you saw it coming. If you win, don't be a dick..because you'll probably win by a hair. If you win...don't be like "yeah, I spank corvettes all day....I knew I was going to win." No one likes an asshole. Just letting you know..if I was driving your car...I personally would be very confident in taking a corvette. So, you should be pretty confident too. Expect him to pull ahead..you're not going to walk him. Depending on the launch..you'll most likely run head to head...but when you're in your top gear. That's when I think you'll pull away. Good luck!!!!!!!

Oh yeah...sorry to double post...but when I said top gear I don't mean 6th...I mean 4th. Or 3rd, depending on what you finish the 1/4 in.

Judging by your 1/8mi. ET and trap you'll definitely take him in the 1/4. If you run him from a roll, you will pull on him initially but he will eventually overtake you. Probably at the 120mph mark. Good Luck.

Like I said, this race will be won at the line. You've got a standard and a killer low end gear ratio on street tires. You just can't get too aggresive at the line or you'll smoke them up at the line and you won't be able to make up the difference at the other end. You have the mods to be in the 12s, judging from your 1/8 time and trap. For comparison, in my 12.67 run, my 1/8th was [email protected]. The gears might hurt you against the vette after a 1/4, so try to keep it in that range. Alot of LS1 guys will try to set me up on a LONG 1/4, so they can use the trap speed to take me up top, since my trap speed is only around where a stock ls1 is. It doesn't take a stock LS1 long after the 1/4 to blow by me, due to the unreal topend and being that a truck is shaped like a damn brick. :iceslolan
Just don't think about racing "a vette" at the line and get too excited, and you will take him in a quarter. Good luck!

thanks for the feedback everyone, i will defintely get pics, and i will try on video, but yea yall are right it easy to put them tires up in smoke with the 410's, she'll pull a mean 4th gear scratch. I definelty recommend gears for you ls1 guys who are looking for a 400-500 dollar mod that will make your car alot quicker

I was going to make the swap to 4.10s, but I'm having enough trouble with this 3000 stall and the 3.73s. Even with the BF drag radials. Good luck on the race!!! Smoke em! :biggrin:

well you also got a 4sp auto correct? I got 2 more gears than you

I must admit dampachi is right on this. go all out but if u win don be and ass about it. and good look but damp. my bad and sorry for lighting u up on the past few posts

Lighting me up? When?

the time when i just when off about me killing 2 cobras and bragging it in your face but i u dont remeber nevermind

The 05 vett come with a LS2 450 hp motor, so does the gto. so....if your ls1 can jump up a 100 hp, good luck, if not, your done.

LS2 = 400 HP

About 340-355 RWHP.

But the vette usually gets heads and cams, Equalling 450 hp. Thats what made the camaro and vette different.

Ohh, you mean when you said you raced two cobras in traffic and I told you to line up with them and see how bad they beat you?

Thank goodness he's running an 04 c5 then. :smile:

What Mr. Luos said. :biggrin:

Yeah, sorry about that, i saw 2004 c5 and comprehended it as a 2005 vett. lol very sorry, im tired. It should turn out to be a good race, let us know the details when you guys do it.

It's cool man. I was just pulling your chain alittle, since it's late and I figured you probably overlooked it. :grinyes:

But the vette usually gets heads and cams, Equalling 450 hp. Thats what made the camaro and vette different.

F-body(Camaro, Firebird) and Y-body (base Vettes) LS1s were the same from 98-02. They shared the same heads and cam. The Y-body did however used a different Oil pan and ran a true dual exhaust as opposed to the F-bodies Y-pipe.

The only vette that had a different engine was the Z06. It came with an LS6 rated at 385HP in 2001 and 405HP from 2002-2004. The new C6 2006 Z06 has 500HP.

lol read the post title? j/k

that should be quite a race you can probably take him, just try to be humble either way, it will get you far. if you win just be like "wow that was really close, good race etc. etc." and then grab his daughter and fly off into the sunset =P
