I've owned 3 vette's, and still like chevy's, but am somewhat confused. Short tubes always worked better on chevys, unless the new C5 motor runs better with LT's. One thing I've found that's pretty consistant, guys with fast cars know their fast, and know what they can an can't beat. If this guys telling the truth, you'll kill him. The fact he wants to go for $500.00 makes be think he's lying his *** off. Lile the others have said, his mods may not be noticeable. If he knows your mods and that you're runnig slicks to his street tires and he still wants to race, then you know he's lying. My '87 Grand National would pick up almost 6/10's just switching to slicks from my street tires. I like the advice many others have given, race but not for cash.

He walked a modded '03 cobra that runs 12.3's by 4 car lengths 0 to 80mph. Your guy may just have heads and a cam and f-bodys will be in the low 12's with just those mods and an intake. And the engine would look completely stock. Good luck.
ive been building hi-perf motors for quite a while, i know when i hear a cam. he has stock cam, or atleast it has no overlap. as for being a stroker i dont think so. a friend of mine raced him in a z28 and beat him, i raced the same friend in the z28 (supposedly had z06 heads or some bs) and i handed him his ***. supposedly this guy with the vette doesnt believe that it is possible for a truck to eat a vette.

Truth is that alot of vette owners get cocckkie. They get the mentality that they are bulletproof since they bought one of the faster cars around. Honestly I think u could take him. But its too much money to put down for just one race. I say the first one to win three races should get the money. U could get a crappy launch, he could miss a shift(or so you hope). But, itll show which car(and driver) is truly better.

If you already beat someone that beat the Vette, then what the hell are you waiting for. Take the Dumb a$$es money, and show us the vid's.
