Who will win?
I got called out by a guy w/ a 300zx(the body from the 90's with bigger turbo's( I think they are still street sized) and 18lbs of boost. I have a '08 w/ VR and a Cow tune. Both on street tires at San Antonio raceway. Who will win?

I'd bet on the vett because its a vett and I'm loyal.
But personally, I'd tell the chump that when his ricer with fart pipe mufflers can do 186 right off the showroom floor and still avg 25mpg to give me call.
Only cuz I dont like being called out.

If the Z is running on street tires there is no way he will outrun the Corvette. He 'll probably run 122- 123 mph but mid 12's at best. Now if he has sticky tires that is another question. My money is on the Vette!!

He didn't really "call me out". He was told I had a fast car by a mutual friend and he just wants to see who'll win. He was actually pretty cool about it. I don't know for sure if I'll win, but I'm gonna try.

Nah, I 'd think the Vette would win, but there are too many unknown variables to give an intelligent guess. Not knowing either car or driver how can you know who would win? Plus I am not a fan of saying a car is "fast" just looking at straight line 1/4 mile times. The Corvette is not built to be a drag car. Put them both on a road course and I'd bet on the Vette...
