Will my Truck Run with older Vetts

I know I stand no chance with a Z06 but what about older models like 98 and older? What do you need to run with one there are so many around here and I want a piece of em! Whats everyone's take?

Re:Will my Truck Run with older Vetts

I'm no horsepower genius but I'm sure it would take a heck of alot of mods to outrun a Vette. The C5's are running around 350 hp and the LT1 ('92-'96)has 300 horses. Lite bodys and decent 0-60 times would make it hard to beat one. Good Luck though!

Vettes are pretty mean little boogers. Your truck can be made a bit meaner though <br><br>More power to weight ratio and you got him. Is your tranny up to it Jamie?<br><br>Don~

Re:Will my Truck Run with older Vetts

Stompin a 5.0 Stang was one of my first shocks of what my truck could do. ;D<br>So of course I had to tackle a Vette. <br><br>2002 Vette made my truck look sleepy.<br>Now the older vettes...thats a different story.<br>Then theres those 5 Series BMW's...OUCH It was a valiant attempt but... :'(<br><br>Find out for yourself Jaimie...just be safe.
