Default Should I even try it????

My roommate works at Advance, and of course, I always tell him to find me a race whenever he can. Well, he got two guys numbers....one I'm not worried about and one I don't have a clue on.

The first one is a new style GT. I don't think there is anything to worry about there.

The second is an 03 corvette. Don't have many details other than it is stock. Should I even attempt this race on the street? I would be on et streets if that helps any. Would it be in my best interest to hold off until the 100 shot is on, then lay the smack down on him? What do you guys think?

Looks like I'll be staying away from those Memphis boys for a while. I'm going to the track in G-ville tomorrow night to make a few passes. I miss racing!!!

If it's a stock vette you should beat it no problem as long as it isn't a Z06. As with anything though if it's modded it could give you some trouble.

Even if it's a Z06,he's got to hook good to get mid twelves, give it a try.
Don't race the vet over a 1/4 mile though,they top at over 160mph.

Even if the Vette is an m6 you should be able to take him. Zo6 will be trouble if the guy can drive. I say go for it, should be fun and should be a win for you
