Scorp VS. VB1
Should VB1 change her info under her Avatar now that Scorp has revealed his master plan? Will her ZR1 be faster than Scorp's nitrous switch?

Do you think I even need the gas to do it? ;)

Re: Scorp VS. VB1 (VetteNoob)
No laughing gas: I give the edge to the LT5, but it'd more likely just come down to who is the better driver.
Laughing gas: scorp will be back in the paddock before she crosses the line (not a slam on VB1)

Re: Scorp VS. VB1 (bogus)
VB1's ZR1 is stock. If you are gonna put that kind of time and money into a vette I would think you would manage to get in lower 12's just like a Z. I would lean twords scorp even without Nitrous. Although VB1's Z is a better lookin car and a better color. No offense. Its gonna be hard to win here.

Re: Scorp VS. VB1 (VetteNoob)
VB1's car may be quicker from the factory but once an L98 is modded, the difference is made up quickly :boxing
VB1's Z aslo will pack more punch upstairs due to it's design but, this seems like a zero to hundred (or so :D ... ) race. I am thinking torque will win off the line and Scorps nosssssss will keep him up front (unless VB1 pull a seat panel to expose her "sneaky pete's" ala Fast&Furious :D )
I would like to ask one small favor... When you race, go to Capitol Raceway in Crofton Md near the 3/301 & rt50 intersections as it would be easy for me to get there to watch all this fun ;)

If we are voting on where the fun will happen, I vote for Crofton (Capitol Raceway) too! It is only about 10 minutes away for me... :yesnod:

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.....
