well if it is a real ram air setup and exhaust it' gonna be a little more than 50hp..... just shift mad quik and chances are if he just puts those new mods on, he prolly won't be used to it. you need to capitalize on his wheel spin and get a big enough jump so he won't catch up.

ahah, 50hp? vettes already come with high flow exhaust stock, and ram air. i don't see more than a 20hp gain.

the exhaust on a stock vette isnt that great... and the actual ram air sytems ive seen advertised say between 20 and 30 hp. i would say around 30 for both...after you hear a corvette with a straight pipe you realize how restrictive those exhausts are

Being loud doesn't mean massive hp gains, look at n/a rx7s. And 30hp from ram air? They have ram air stock. So how do u figure? Only difference would be its closer to the throttle body. That sure ain't worth 20-30 hp. I know a guy whos dad has a v8 performance shop and told me that vettes don't gain **** on exhaust, even full exhaust.

Geez rev you know everything about cars. You taking classes in them? Teach me how to put in a clutch!!

My girlfriend comes over and she loves riding in my car so I take her to go pick up a pizza. On the way back a 2002 red corvette parks next to me and revs his engine. I rev back and it was on :bigok: He wanted to get in my lane to turn so I let him in. The only problem was he wanted to race in front of the police station :rant: We turn and he takes off. He wasnt even fast!! Their was too much traffic so he couldn't get far. I slow down to about 40 and 2 crx get beside me. It was like a seen from a movie or something. I couldn't race them because their neon was blinding me. It was bright!! So they pass....and then here comes a 80's mustang 5.0. He looked over sped up and then ran for the corvette. My girlfriend was so scared. I would have raced them if they went to the right street but in front of a police station? Thats gay.

Now thats funny..... at least your view. Not to mention I have that magnet except for cops.

Man I couldnt count the times this month that I didnt run only to see a LA State Trooper doing nothing but looking for speeders in downtown. ( hiding behind something like they're in Mayberry) why aint he on the state hiways?

(Do Not Answer)

Good report because while no kill this is probably the setup most of the time.good racing is timming.

I can only wish!!!!!!! Being the idiot that I am, I would have raced every single one of those cars. Then again, I seem to scare the crap out of all the kids out here...so bad that they dont even react to my taunting :smirk:

If I were you, I'd learn how to drive the car before getting into any sort of racing....
