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.

"i see your lips moving, but all im hearing is blah blah blah"

Anyways,

i think the diff is much more then 500lbs. but i could be wrong. C5 w. 160lb driver should be in the 3400 range i would say. also aerodynamics play a large roll in it at a decent speed over 45 or so

I'll run him! I've seen one bad ass T-Bird running around that I know would give a C5 a good run from a roll and eat it up from a dig, but it's an older guy that drives it.
