depends on the kit and tune, stock C5's actually trap higher than I do, but yea I would hope an FI Z could beat a stock C5

C5 z06 is a different story though..

and why the hell would you bring Alberto into this???? that doesnt even make any sense, BTW I have cruised with him, and I have seen what his car can do, its on a completely different level

and when I ran that Z I had 2 bolt ons.. and no tune

( we have an ongoing rivalry)

Slim I dont have those videos or I would post them up.and that was when my car was running like chit.. but a loss is a loss.. we need to get to mason one more time!! To be fair this past track day when we ran, I won every single race...

Alberto vs. Zain wouldn't be fair. If we could drop a fully built crate engine in Zain's car with a supercharger, supporting mods, built trans / tq converter and finally a good set of slicks. It would be an interesting race to watch.

Zain and I at least had about the same power levels making it a driver's race. Since I was granny shifting and not double clutching like I should...the car was coming out of boost between shifts and slowing me down.

capitol on a Friday sometime?

Haha, I almost forgot about those vids! I would still love to see them, if for nothing more than the sideline commentary! lol.

On a sidenote Bert I hope you still dont mind me using your slicks, I'm thinking of making another trip to the track before it gets too cold to run and I wont accept anything higher than a 12.XX this time.

How is the LT1 something to laugh at? People always seem to forget it was designed in the late 80's and YET still LT1 powered f-bodies easily pull 99-101mph traps speeds bone stock. In the 90's.. The LT1 was unstoppable and beat up on every import out there until the LS1 was released.
