Re: (scorp508)
¼ mile = Scorp (on AND off the switch..since Scorp WILL get traction.)
½ mile = Jen, but Scorp if he's on the switch.
1 mile = Good race (with Scorp on the switch of course)
That's my predictions. :cheers:
Sorry Scorp, but I'd STILL take the Z over a modded 87..just cuz..well..it's a Z and it's steel blue! :D :cheers:

1/2 mile, I agree except that scorp will be "PUSHING IT" with the juice flowung that long!
1 mile, All Jen, if Scorp even thinks about holding that button for that amount of time............can you say "time to make a stroker!" :lol: :lol:

Re: Scorp VS. VB1 (VetteNoob)
What kind of HP and what gears do you have Scorp?
With 353 rwhp and 2.73 gears, I whipped a bolt-on 92 ZR-1 from 20 - 150, and was pulling away at 150. It should be interesting, provided Jenn is willing to run the Z that hard and Scorp is willing to risk his new motor to find out! :cheers:

Right now 322/362 N/A with 3.07s, car is in need of a dyno tuning session bigtime as it is running majorly rich. Car weighs 3365 with me, fuel, and spare tire.

With the spray and slicks, the 1/4 will be Scorps by a full 0.8!

Re: (scorp508)
I'm willing to say VB1 could edge me out on the top end with the LT5 as is.
My car is lighter, makes slightly more HP/torque. Her car has a powercurve from hell, strong #s, more efficient drivetrain, and 7000 RPM to work with. :D A 1/4 probably would end up with ole' yella.... but top end I think I still bow to the king. :yesnod:
Flip on the steroids though and I dunno.....

Re: (Drewdog)
i've got my money on jen's car...
the higher RPM's makes a huge difference (sorry L98 guys) and jen's average HP is gonna be higher across that wider RPM range...
I'm guessing that scorp's 322/362 is at the flywheel?? what's jen got?
i think i've seen her dyno sheet, and it was pretty impressive.
jen probably has a better rear gear ratio than 3.07...
scorp's gotta be careful with the nitrous til he gets the fuel and tuning straight.
even with a shot i still put $$ on jen.

I just got back from out of town and what a surprise!! :D
I have to say that Scorp's car + NOS would surely be faster than my stock car (I should hope).....I just have to annoy someone so I picked him, how lucky. :)
PS Lee does want to put a shot on the ZR-1, lord help us all....:D

Re: Scorp VS. VB1 (VetteBabe1)
I know for a fact that Scorps car without the nitrous would go down. I raced a good friend of mine with a LT1 383 with 380 RWHP in Jens ZR1 and we were dead even up to 140. The ZR1 powerband is just that ugly. Not a peak or valley to be found from 2000 to 6500. Just flat.
As for the nitrous race.....thats just a silly question. I should hope he would win. At least at the drag strip anyways. Now on the hwy I may have a prayer. Unless I install the little blue bottle myself...... :D :D

It really wasn't a race, we never lined up dead even. I was behind him on the road and we both hit it from a 10 mph roll. I stayed about 10ft from his bumper until I pulled out into the other lane and let off. Had we actually lined up and raced from a dead stop I would have killed this particular 383 since I am very proficient at launching and he is not. :D :D
