Z06 vs. H/C WS6

[SilviaK93]

Now this has to be the most interesting and $hit talking race I have been in thus far. I just got to one of the local meeting spots and this group of guys asked me if I would run a red Trans Am. I was cool with it, then asked what the car had. "It's stock with a 4.10 gear and exhaust" was their response. I called BS as it wouldnt even be worth my time. I asked what about the bottle and they denied a bottle on the car. Whatever!! We talk about where to go and really cant come to a conclusion. All this time the owner of the car was not saying anything as his buddy did all the talking. Pablo then showed up and witnessed all the aftermath. The owner of the car then blows his top and says, "I will run that car anywhere from any mph and drag that $hit down the road, and show you how slow that Z06 really is!" I was pissed. I said ok and agreed to his location and mph- let's see you drag my $hit I said.

We get to the meeting spot EVENTUALLY, and his buddy then starts checking out my car. Keep in mind they were talking all this BIG GAME earlier. His buddy spots the bottle and yells out "he's got a bottle." That's not fair....... I told them it wasnt my problem, they were the one's saying they were going to drag my $hit so bring it. I told them I hope you got a big shot on that STOCK WS6! So now they wont run unless I disconnect the bottle. I did so I can see him drag my a$$, as he says. We line up at 20mph while others line up down the street at the end. I hit off the honks and he jumps the gun early before the third honk so I just hit it. He gets a .5-1 car jump b/c of this. Mid-top of third I start reeling him HARD! He let's off right as I am about to pass. I ask if he wants to run again and he does.

We line up again from 20mph and we get a dead even take off. I put a fender off the jump. Spin second gear to redline, SHIFT, spin going into third and car gets squirly and catches now I am .5 ahead. Top of 3rd going into 4th and bye bye I go. It was all over at 105. Cant say the gap, but it was getting nasty if we had more room. 3.42 gear>4.10 from 100+mph

We get back to the parking lot and discuss the run. He admits the first run I was coming hard, and second I won. We were cool and start talking about the cars, here's what this "STOCK" WS6 had.....

Heads and Cam
Long tubes, etc
TB
Lid
4.10
Forged 346ci- pistons, rods, etc
last dyno numbers were- 417rwhp/400rwtq (says probably making alittle more b/c of some recent changes)

Didnt know they came like this from the factory... He gave props to the Z and he saw under my hood. Made it worst for him to know I disconnected the bottle and won with just 3 bolt-ons.
