98 gt vs. C5 vette and 944 tur

98gtvert · 10-28-2003, 04:20 AM

Whats up guys new guy here. Had a couple good races past couple days. First was a C5 vette. I had just gotten off of work and jumped on I95 headed home when I saw the familiar lights of a vette a little way back, so I slowed down and waited on him to see if he was game. So as he started to pass i sped up and got beside him and jumped foward to see if he would take the bait. We toyed around with each other until we got on a good straight stretch of road, then at 80 he and I punch it, he gets the jump and by 90 I am pulling hard by 100 I have a car by 110 about 2.5 and it just got ugly til about 125 3 + cars. Afterwards we honk horns and head our seperate ways. The vette was stock. Then was a late 80's 944 turbo. We had both got on the exit ramp together and he hit it around the curve and well no way in hell I out handle a porsche so I dont bother and until we get lined up on a straight road. To make a long story short 70-100 absolutely slaughter the guy. Probably didnt need the spray but why not rub it in right? Sorry for the novel.

I am guessing that you sprayed on him? Thats the only way I could see a 98 pulling on a vette like that. Vettes are made for good top end speed. Im not trying to hate on you, just kind of hard to believe. Just my .02$

Had to. It is headswapped too so its putting down pretty good power before the gas but not Ls1 power. By the way 5-0 vs. C5's. <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"> Why buy the N20 if your not going to use it.

I'm calling BS, C5 w/borla exhaust = 358 fwhp @ 5610 rpms and 366 torque @ 4020 rpms. No way your 302 could hang, expecially top end. Maybe wasn't full throttle? Stock 302 = 225 fwhp - drivetrain loss 189 at the wheels. I've outrun many a mustang with my nearly stock TA that have nearly the exact mods you have, minus the 100 shot. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">A C5 eats me alive
