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.

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

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.
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....
