cobalt ss/sc vs c4 vette

So a sales man at my work has a 94 corvette convertible that is completly stock, and it's and automatic. We are going to race 2mrow from a 40-100mph. Im am stage 2. He said hes going to rape me, not even going to be close at all. I told him to just give me props if I can hang and he said I wont hang. "It's like me saying I can beat a ferrari" Just wondering what you guys think it will turn out like?

I say kinda close, hp and weight about the same.
I think the C4 is a little lighter. They have about 300HP.
I'm going to say you will win because of being a stick. If the C4 was a stick I think he would win.

if you drive it right you will get him or tie. your best pull will be your first cause of heat soak.

some of it will depend on the motor, but if its got the lt1 your going to win. the car should weigh about 3300lbs

you WILL smash him. i beat a 96 lt4(6speed) c4 from whatever race he wanted. dig, roll, any mph. whatever. theyre just too heavy and not enough power. and since his is the lt1 which is "rated" at 300hp and convertible with an auto trans. i don't see this race even being a close one. a 94' vette with a curb weight of around 3350, auto, and convertible. should only be to muster a 14.3-14.5 as the 6speed lt1 was around a 14.1 with people rarely breaking into the 13's factory. with you being stage 2 and starting at a 40 roll, i don't see him ever starting to gain ground, even when you shift.

depends on the motor IMO
the first motor that comes to mind is the 250hp 350tq used in the first of the C4 models (i think?)
you have the weight advantage, he probably has the power advantage (at least torque), and yea...thats about it

Is the stage 2 the only perf mod you have? I had stage 2, 2.9 pulley, exhaust, and an air box mod.. I raced several LT1 vettes and camaro's and beat them pretty good... From a dig I really had to try and it was fairly close.. From a roll and the LT1 had little chance unless it was cammed...

Stock C4's run 14.0 1/4.. So it will be close..

lol you guys just siked me up!! my supervisor that has been in my car said those older guys dont know about 4cylinders now days. Most of the old guys I know think its just a wanna be little fast car and all the young guys think my car is sick lol. He wants to throw money on it, I told him I would do $20 for the hell of it but he wants to do more. If its really close or I beat him it will be hilarious, all his old sales buddys will **** themselves and give this car alot more respect for sure, they think im on crack trying to race him

LT4's run as fast as the LS1 C5's do and put out about 350hp. LT1's are 14 flat cars with 300hp.

What mods and what do you run?

not in the c4 corvettes they don't. and they're also only rated at 350. the lt1 is a 14.1 car with the 6speed, not the auto. the lt4 will only be about .2 quicker with the 6speed coupe

also. try to remember. the NEWEST c4...is still 15 years old. 15 years of valve build up, piston ring corroding, engine timing also does not stay the same over 15 years on a tbi engine. rear end wear, and especially in older auto transmissions, the valves and paths within to transmission where the fluid runs become gummed up. cause the transmission to take longer to shift. and sometimes shift early, sometimes late.

remember guys, c5's are just ls1's.... c4's are slow ass lt1s and sorta maybe fast lt4s

only corvette's you gotta watch out for are heavily modded c4's. any modded c5, but if its an auto its gonna need gears. same with the c6's. the auto c6's are dogs unless its geared.

then something is terribly wrong. a stick c5 with a good driver is a mid-high 12 second car at 107+ mph

c5's are not just ls1's. auto c6's are not dogs either. they are quicker than 90% of the people on this site in stock form.

Exactly what I was thinking, an LS3 auto 6speed would beat almost every car on this site.
