In order to run a 175 shot, you also have to have that motor pretty well built which means your putting out more than 230 hp before the n2o. so hypothetically you could be running nearly 420 hp if not more?? wouldnt that rape the shit outta a C5 with only 385 fact. hp? my numbers could be completely wrong cuz i dunno too much bout tbirds so dont jump down my throat
Yeah, good point. c5's are right at 300 to the wheels.
Other things to consider ... A corvette weighs about 500lbs less and are more aerodynamic. I'm assuming this tbird is an automatic and the vette could have been a 6spd which is a big difference in a roll race.
