mmmm, lets see you have an '03 auto and you beat a C6 from a roll of 50mph and you have 3.73's with 406rwhp? How fast were you going when you shut down. I have to admit I've never seen a bolt on 99-04 having 406rwhp , but I guess there is a first for everything. How much psi are you running to get 406rwhp?
I am making 415 with boltons/blower/cams. And they are N/A cams at that..

I would not have any fear of racing a C6 from a roll or a stop. Considering that both him and me are putting down more to the wheels than the vette does at the flywheel....

BTW, if he ran a 12.60 with 40x WHP he needs to work on launch etc. 400+ WHP with a 1.8~ 60' is good for a 12.00/11.9x in the 1/4 with a 99-04 (with a stick anyway, auto should not be that much slower if its setup right)
Yeah, and especially with his 3.73's . Thats why I was a little baffled on his ET. By the way you mentioned you have a blower, so is it possible for a full bolt on 99-04 to get 416rwhp without forced induction?

With a stock block, 416 RWHP without a power adder would, as far as I know, be impossible. I get basically that (420) to the rear wheels, which at 15% loss through the drivetrain is 483 at the crank (I round to 475 just for the sake of nice round numbers.) My engine is new, with Manley rods and pistons and a Cobra crank and a healthy dose of boost. However, the guy who wrote the story said he had an s-trim, so he isnt naturally aspirated.

On an aside, I had a fun little back-and-forth on the highway with a beautiful red C6 today... a much older gent, white hair and glasses, and his much older wife, and all three of us were giggling like schoolkids I almost enjoy mutual car moments more than a mean spirited race

Nice paint, love those white stripes. If you're from California I'd bet that was a California Concepts facia upgrade or did you have it done after you purchased the car? Looks sweet!!!!!

Completely impossible for a 2v 4.6 to make that kinda power with any configuration N/A, at least any street legal configuration. This includes a full motor build.

Maybe they will get there if anyone gets off their *** and builds a true aftermarket set of heads.

But his sig says he has a S trim, so he is blown.

Mine, C6? Mine was originally a 2000 GT. Added the 99 hood scoop, the 03 Mach 1 chin spoiler, gas cap, and the stripes... wish I had a classic, so tried to get it as classic looking as I could...

I'm sure I could do better but not 12.0. Maybe a 12.2-12.3 with a higher stall. Wish I had some money but it's going to have to wait till next spring. I'm sure it wasn't the best Vette but none the less a Vette. Not to take anything away from Corvettes cuz I wish I had one. I made it to the strip once this year but they closed it due to unpredictable weather. I'm hoping to see 12.4's with this setup the way it is.
What did you run? I would be surprised to see you run a 12.6 with about the same hp as my car. Auto's usually run faster with the same whp.

lol yes im aware... but he says he can make any 2v put that type of stuff out.... We asked him what he had done to do that... gave us a lil information, but i guess he says that some of the info is pro secrets, or something - and that there is only 1 other person out there that has made a faster n/a 2v then him... i dunno... I guess if hes true to his sig, he'll explain it to anyone that wants to ask.. but i know the guy knows his ****... anyone thats worked for Roush Racing, i'll listen to... lol (which he did, then quit from)
