My car vs. corvette C5-R

[flyboy86]

One of my classmates has a 2004 Corvette C5-R, I'm pretty sure its a stock C5-R. I had a run in with him tonight, and we did the usual speeding past eachother, engine rev, etc. I don't know much about corvettes, but I think the C5-R makes 404 hp? Will I be able to take him in a race with the mods in my sig? Will I need the 3.73s to take him?

I think it would be a pretty good run for you. I'm not sure what the C5-R is exactly. I think only the Z06 C5 vettes had the 400hp . If you can drive, you should be right on his a$$!

your classmate drives a full blown race car on the street?
as far as i know the C5-R makes a bit more than 404hp so i think you'd lose

C5-R? I thought those had 600HP and were track only???? C5 Z06 got 405HP and the C5 got 350HP for that year I believe.

BTW the C5-Z06 makes almost as much RWHP as you (350-360 usually) and weighs only 3150#s. In other words, if he can drive....you will loose.

I'm not exactly sure what the car is, but the badging says "C5-R", and he claims 400 hp here are some pics

I'm going to have to put my pennies on the Vette. Sorry

 

[superstang01]

its possible with the 3.73;s and some DR's

 

[Crzyhrse]

You will lose by an "R".

 

[MyBloodRunsBlue]

don't listen to these fools...TAKE HIM DOWNNNNNN!!!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO....lol best of luck, i just like defying the odds...you will need 3.73s if you want any chance, and you better get him good on the jump to stay out in front and hold him off...

 

[4point6]

Tell him he's a clown for putting that badging on. And those wheels, too, while you're at it. BTW how old is this "classmate?"

 

[mogs01gt]

This is a c5-r

This is a C5 with a gay decal

could be 400 hourse though...which would mean it could run 12s easily.

I concur w/ Mogs.

wow u realize a c5r is about a million dollars right? lol and yes it has much more than 400hp its around 600

C5, C5-R, Z06, whatever, its still a Vette and eventhough I'm a stang guy (for now) I know when we're outmatched........like San_Man said I gotta go with the Vette

 

[AntiRice98]

I beat a new C-6 at the track and i only had 231 rwhp at the time

 

[DBMSTNG]

what year is it? stock it has between 350hp. they typically run high 12's with a good driver. mid 13's to 14's with the average to horrible driver. i've seen a guy run consistent 14.6's. also, is it an auto or 6spd? if it's a 6spd, you should be able to edge him out if you get traction. if it's an auto, you should win as long as you don't spin badly. for reference, i ran a 12.6 in my GT with 380rwhp on 245mm wide street tires and a 3770lb race weight. good enough to beat the vast majority of stock LS1 Corvettes.

 

[streetstang03]

you beat the driver, not the car

 

[larrendeuce]

I agree with everyone else, its a C-5 with a silly badge. Its possible there is work on it but real Z06 models have a duct right before the rear wheelwell.

 

[FalconGuy016]

It looks like a C5 so you should be able to beat it. A stock C5 has something like 320 rwhp doesn't it?

 

[DBMSTNG]

um, how bout NO. stock LS1 Corvettes aren't that fast. good drivers will pull a 12.8-13.0 with them. a equal driver in blown GT with traction can beat that.
