My buddy had a stage III with everything on it and ran LOW 12's w/ slicks at best, fast as hell, but I can say this, a slightly modded vette most of the time will take good modded srt-4 in the long run (0-160), those are fast pee-ons

A buddy at work has one that does mid 12s, he showed me the time slips. I give them more respect than the typical Honduh guy But in the end, no matter who wins the race, they are still driving a Neon.

With drag tires my son has been in the low 12's at the strip, and he doesn't really drive very well!
I would definetly take some of them seriously... I had a stage 3 myself, I could break the fronts loose on the highway at 70+ and could take a lightly modded vette no problem (except for digs, cause of the pizza cutter wheels)

100 more hp and 500-700 pounds lighter than the vette make for a potent package... too bad a lot of them are stupid kids heh... yeah if he was frying his clutch there was no problem.. even if the car was fast, he wasnt
