Upcoming: Tuned SS/TC vs stock FRC C5 vette

This race will happen this week from a ricer roll. My car is an 08 ss/tc with an hp tune, k+n, and zzp offroad downpipe. Best et of 13.4 at 110mph before the downpipe.

His car is a literally bone stock 1999 FRC vette with a 6 speed. As for driving I think he may be Michael Schumacher's/John Force's long lost son.

As much as I hate to admit it I asked for a roll race. What do you guys predict from a 30-40mph roll? I'm thinking the race will be VERY close.

If you go from 30-40 and he starts in 1st gear he should get you. If he starts in 2nd gear you'll jump him and he may or may not pull back way up top.

That's exactly why I think the race will be close from a roll

Hmmmm.

He'll probably take me ... all depends though, is this a WRX or WRX STi (6spd).

I'm a little more confident against the 6spds than 5s due to ratios.

Although, I'd rather run him when I get WG tables and meth.

a ss/tc will most likely have to be turbo swapped to beat those numbers. a 20g turbo on a wrx will hold power to redline, there wont be a spike or anything, itll just keep pulling. no offense but a k04 wont have the top end to keep up.

377whp and 330tq on a WRX with a 20g?!?!? are you certain its a 20g??

Most STI's with a 20g will see mid 300's at 21psi...
a wrx will see low 300's! that doesn't seem right...

The race between me and the vette was going to happen last night after the track but wifey came with him. Taking it easy with his new car he went 13.7 at 107 with a 2.3 60ft. It will go in the low 13s at 108-109 if he gets aggressive with the driving.

108 sounds about right for a stock ls1 vette
