1993 Corvette LT-1 Convertible
My buddy (the one with the 1977 Corvette) just picked up a 1993 Corvette with a 6sp manual. He wants to run me for fun. Looking at the specs, I have roughly 120-130hp more, but he's about 700lbs lighter. I think it would be a good match, but I should have him. Thoughts?
Here's his: |

Your 3.91s should definitely help

I agree with the C4 ZR-1 owners that felt gyped when they added the squared off tail lights on the regular Corvettes. It lost all specialness from the outside. |

I did whoop a Mazdaspeed 6 so far. And today a Rustang convertible going the other way did the slow down and rev nonsense. The Hemi Challenger guy I work with hasn't been around lately. I think I can actually run this Vette. I'm fairly confident I have it as my car sits, let alone after the headers. |

Stock, the LT1 Corvettes ran mid 13's in the 1/4 mile.
Being a convertible, he has an additional brace under the car that adds a bit of weight. With the ZF6 he has the Dana 44 rear end with 3:45 gears. You should pull away at the top end pretty well, I would think. His only true advantage is aero, but it's not enough. |

Instinctively, I have to take the Chevy in that match up.
I'm not sure how good my buddy is with the stick. I'd be more worried if his car was an automatic. |
