I would still want to give him a run!! If it was a manual i gaurntee i would win a race against him!!

 

not with 290hp..

LT1 6 speed corvette has virtually unlimited topend

i think the fastest someone ever brought one up to was around 170mph and it still had more to go?!?

just imagine a 6 speed C6 or Z06... they are silly fast

 

When dealing with the Corvette, it's safe to say there is no governer on them. My old Z06 was pullin hard at 162 so I doubt if one will kick in at 170. I haven't did a top speed test in my new Z06 but I'll take my buddies word for when he says he took his up to 186mph@ 5500rpm in 5 gear.

 

Good kill on the Lt1!!!!!! But like someone else mentioned stay away from the ZR1's

 

The '96 Grand Sports are pretty fast too.

 

Just a heads up for you guys. All manual 96 Vettes had the LT4 engine with about 300 rwhp, the autos were regular LT1's.

 

I'll still play (when I get the new carb thursday).

 

Im taking my car to get dyno'd next weekend and he is coming with me in his vette, he claims it will put down 175HP to the rear wheels but i doubt it seriously i am guessing lower.

 

LOL! I was reading this just now at work & the phone rang. I answered it laughing my head off...hahah oh man

 

330 hp is what they were rated at, but most dyno'd damn near that to the wheels.
