The 1978 Corvette L82 was rated at 220 hp @ 5200 rpm and 260 ft-lbs @ 3600 rpm with the 350 engine 4 speed stick and 3.7 rear end gear ratio.

It would do the 1/4 in 15.1 sec @ 93 mph
0-60 in 7.4 sec

A DOG

Don't be too sure of that. Remeber when I posted pics of my first track run and a 74' Vette ran a 15.1@91 to my 15.1@92? But yes in general a stock SSEi will likekly be beat by a Vette, but ya never know.

Also, HANS if you want a sure win just go to a dealorship and look for a white 96-99 SSEi for test drive with the Ser 2 L67. If you're component doesn't notice its a different car then race him. Almost guarenteed win.

Is this race going to go down or what??!!! I'd like to know how well you fare. Would this be a quarter mile race or 1/8 mile, that may play a factor too, I think you'd stand a better chance in the 1/8. But just do it and let us know the outcome!!!!! DO IT!!!!!!! And best of luck!

get a Vid too

Petes parents have an 81 Vette, and his 94 SSE beat it! Some Vettes werent that quick, not so anymore.

I've been under the impression that the 93 vettes come with the 300hp LT1 350'*. Good Luck.

You would be correct, '93'* came with the LT1 (I beleive '92 was actually the first year the LT1 in the corvette, '93 for the F-bodies), not sure of what they rated them at. I know the '93 F-body LT1'* were rated at 275hp, so 300hp for the Vette sounds about right. If it was a late 80'* vette with the L98 350, it would be a totally different story, most of the L98'* were pretty pathetic. But anyhow, just race him and see what happens!!

Joe.

You'll lose. A Lt1 C4 should easially run in the low 14'*, high 13'* with no problem.

I think the title is confusing, but the Vette in question is an 87, judging by the link you provided, right?
