Is your best time is 11.87 on drag radials ? If it's on stock tires you will kill him if he's on a stock tire too. BUT, if your on a stock tire running mid - high 12's, you should watch out.

You will win I have a freind who has a C4 ZR1 and he used to run low 13's and high 12's when he first got the car.

Now it's modded and he has run 11.7!

I know he ported his heads and runs drag radial but I'm not sure what other mods he has done. I know he breaks stuff on the car with his heavy launches. Clutches drive shafts!

Yep, that is where a ZR1 comes to life. Especially from 100+. But anyways, if the ZR1 is stock and you're running 11.87 you will take him no problem.

Stock ZR1s are a high 12-second car, so unless you screw up pretty badly, you should win...

assuming equal drivers, a stock ZR-1 C4 would beat a stock LS1 C5.
