Default Bit confused on the Neon SRT-4 vid, 98 LS1 step in here (vette question)

I am a bit confused on that video of the SRT-4 owners responding to the anti srt-4 vid. There is a race on there between a Z06 and a SRT-4.

Just looking over the Z06 numbers, wouldnt you expect a vette with heads/cam/intake and all of those mods not only to be running faster than a 12.00 (thats what the neon is supposed to run) but also to be making more power than 438/400 at the wheels?

I thought the 3 or 4 LS1 guys in here were claiming 12.25s on stock Z06 with no mods???? I knew that was total bull**** but I would expect to be past the 12s after my 50K car has 3-5K worth of heads/cam/intake installed????

maybe on slicks, not on street tires. ZO6's are rated at 12.7 - 12.8 in the 1/4 stock. Thats what 9 magazines said [:-] sure on slicks though I could see it happening.

People have ran as low as 11.8 100% bone stock with Z06's.

Scour the Corvette forums, you will find timeslips and videos of these runs.

I've seen Z06 vettes run mid 11's with exhaust intake and gears in them so it can be done.

It's useless man....we've had countless threads about this. No matter how many times I show absolute proof of one running 11.8 bone stock, it's not enough. The damn cars trap nearly 120mph bone stock....

360rwhp + 3180lbs does not = high 12's.

Well, the SRT-4 was making more power, and it's lighter, wouldn't you expect it to be even with the Vette?
