Race him. But for the love of Pete do it at a track, not on the road!!

His whole car is carbon fiber? or are you saying the body panels are fiberglass? And by gate..what do you mean? If it's not on a track I would suggest for you not to race him....but ummm if you do..dont come on the forum and post about it..lol...no street racing stories allowed....and if it is on a track..heck race any and everybody even if odds are stacked against you

If you get a good launch and stay ahead

Sounds to me like he's playing you.

What year Vette is it? What's the inside look like (full interior, etc)? What kind of wheels and tires (street radials, drag radials, E.T. Streets)?
Did you look at his motor? Does he have any spray (NOS lines)?

There's a lot of simple ways to size up a car. The quickest and easiest is by checking the rear tires.

I say go for it... heck I will line up against anyone.... you just never know... while he may have 330HP in a much lighter car, there is still the big unknown... can he turn that into a quick ET? I've sneaked by a few cars that are a lot faster due to driver error! You just never know!

0. Specs on the 'Vette
1. Track
2. Go for it
3. Video in case you win!

what is all the thinking and investigation about? race him. who cares if you win or lose as long as you have fun, what do you really lose by losing a race anyway, far too much worrying about what he has... i dont even ask those questions a race is a race if there isnt money or slips involved no need to go all crazy figuring out if you should or shouldn't race no part of your life will be affected by losing a fun race to anyone on the planet. lol

You have nothing to lose.
Here's the list of outcomes:

1st Place: Mad props for winning.
2nd Place: Props for keeping up.
3rd Place: Props for having the guts to race.

It's all good!:happyanim:
