1993 Stock Vette vs SSEi?
My boss thinks his vette will still beat me at the track even though it is stock. I thought these cars were heavy and run high 14s with the automatic, plus they are RWD
What do you think...my car pullied and Jet Stage 2 vs untuned corvette with auto?

says 14.8 quarter mile with a 0-60 of 6.3 seconds.

RWD cars have a huge advantage over FWD cars when launching because of weight transfer. If anything he would launch better than you, and you would have to make up the difference once you got rolling off the line.

If anything, a person who doesn't know how to drag race will have better luck launching a RWD car than a FWD car. Unless you're talking about pure experience levels, he has a distinct advantage over you. His weight transfer alone will allow him to get into the throttle sooner and more aggressively than you can in the Bonneville. The weight of his car is helping his grip, while the weight of your car is leaving the front tires and adversely affecting your grip. All other things being equal, the sheer nature of his RWD setup gives him the upper hand.
Still, I think it would be an interesting race. I have no idea what a '93 Vette weighs, but your supercharger will help to make up for the toque advantage of the V8. I think you would need a bit more than a pulley and Jet chip, though. Race him if you get a chance, and let us know. Just don't talk a big game before the race, because you'll most likely be digging yourself a hole
