Default My GST vs a Vette?

My internet is acting up so i dont want to take the time to search up on the vettes... But I want to race a vette, from about a 95-06.. Any vette in that range.. A basic one.. I have a 20g turbo at 15 psi right now, big fmic, 750 injectors, cai, custom downpipe, apexi exhaust, no cat... And I have it tuned to just about perfect right now.. Ive had a lot of vettes around, But im a little gun shy you could say to try one of them out...

Think I could take em?

Ive been lookin it up for a little bit now, that my internet is workin.. As long as its not the z06, It should be close in hp/torque... Im not sure what Im pushing for hp but I know it puts you back in the seat... I havnt missed a gear for a couple of weeks now.. But if the vette is an auto, Ill have to be on my A game for sure...

Well a 95 C4 with an LT1 came with 300hp and ran a 13.7 in the 1/4. A 97 C5 with the LS1 came with 345hp and ran a 13.3 in the 1/4. It only gets better of course,an 02 ZO6 came with 405 hp and ran a 12.5.An 05 C6 comes with 400hp and also runs 12.5 1/4s.And absolutely forget about an 06 ZO6 505hp monster running 11.5 1/4's. So here is my thoughts,from a stop,if your gst is anything like mine you will lose because of excessive wheel spin,no matter the model vette,since they are RWD they are naturally gonna hook up better than you.From a rolling speed where you wont spin much when you hit it,i think you could take the C4 vette,keep up if not beat an auto C5,if its a manual it could go either way.As far as the ZO6's and C6'S,you will get beat in any kind of race.These are all my opinions of course,but i have been around cars and drag racing for a good part of my life.So find one and see what happens......Oh,Oh,my uncle had an auto C5 (1999) and i drove it years ago,it was definately quick but it was not a ball of fire........

Ya, I realize a z06 is fast.. Im not even gonna try against one of those... But as far as the wheel spin... If its not wet mine hooks up quick.. I have some kuhmo mx's on and I dont lose a lot in spinning... Only time I really spin is if the road is a little damp and the turbo is boostin up there... The only thing I prolly have a dissadvantage on, is the take off though, because I do have terrible turbo lag with this 20g.. But once the turbo spools, I think I can keep up if not take the average vet.. But yes, I know those z06's are fast, and im humble enough to know I wouldnt stand a chance... But most vettes have the ls1 or the lt1 correct?

Just make sure two people are in the Vette and you're the only person in your car...!!

well he said that its gonna be a 95 -2006 so i was assuming that he really meant the 97-2005 vettes which are the C5's and from a roll he'll have no chance. Maybe from a stop
