Default Need tips to beat a stock 2002 corvette

Hello all. I have a stock 96 gt automatic. Can anyone advise me as to what I need to do to my ride to get the power, torque, needed to beat a stock 6 speed 2002 corvette. Is it possible without having to change the heads, cam? If nitrous is suggested. Can the pistons in the 96 gt handle it?

Note: the car does run strong for what it is. But it does have 145,000 miles on it.

all help is appreciated!!!

you are smoking some serious ganja...your 4.6 2v NPI doesn't have a rats chance...especially with your mileage, any power mods you do are likely to cause a failure real quick

switch to a PI motor, then a supercharger...that'll get you where you can at least keep his tail-lights in sight. you'll need a 03/04 Cobra and lots of supporting mods to play in Vette territory dude

Buy a 4v and some forged pistons and rods + a kenne bell.With just nitrous you dont stand a chance.

Dude what are YOU smokin, 2002 vette put 350-375hp Z06 put 405hp. A Termi to be in their terriory?? I have a stock 02Roush GT, procharged i can take those vettes (not speaking on the z06, yet). Not to mention a termi STOCK willtake a stock02 vette.

As for what you need, id say forged internals and a s/c of some kind runnin high boost and a change of gears...just takin a guess

goto sleep and dream about it, you always win in your dreams sorry but no chance unless you were F/I then maybe, vettes are light and I believe the 02's have 400 hp http://www.corvettemuseum.com/specs/2002/ls6.shtml

That looks like the motor for the Z06, or is that the motor in all the vettes

What? A stock 02 vette does not have 400hp. The z06 came stock with 405hp, a regulare C5 vette isnt ****. Ill take them all day long... Z06 pulls hard as hell, so you might as well not even try with that.


Back to the OP..... I would just get some nitrous... Works for me.
