Re: I wish I bought a Z

No way a stock 3.8 is throwing down 180 rwhp, thats only a 10% drivetrain loss.

Stock LT1 285. So (285)(.15)= 42.75 So, 285 - 42.75 = 242.25

I'm just going from what i've heard...

1k under the hood and u still cant beat a Z...u should b able to stay along with them if not get them off the line cuz most of the kids that drive em dont know how to drive

careful. there are just as many people with v6s that cant drive as there are v8s.
