4k stall. I thought I made it clear that my impression was that this was a standard base Vette dummied up to look like a ZO6 . 10.85 is truely awesome for a production vehicle however that is with a very expirenced driver with lots of track time. My Cuda has ran 7.26 in the 1/8 mile exactly in the same form it is driven on the street. That translates to a low 11 second pass in the quarter on drag radial tires and this is before I completely redid the exhaust system. :2thumbs:
1972 BS23 H code Cuda, B5 blue, 340 streched to 416 cu in, 727 w/ 8 3/4 rear, 7.23 in the 1/8 mile and 11.38@117mph in the 1/4 on drag radials   Under restoration! Coming soon... 440cuin R3 Indy SMALL BLOCK monster!!!!

It's really tough to compare a 2 seater with a base sticker over 72K
(2008) with a 36 YO Musclecar. Kinda like comparing a Cuda to a 1930's car that still has the original engine block, rear and tranny type.
Once we had Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope & Johnny Cash. Now we have Obama, No Hope and No Cash!

A little late, but congrats on handing out a reality check to that 'Vette owner. :cheers:  I read about guys taking out Z06's and juiced/supercharged C-6's quite often on the 3000GT/Stealth site and I must say the VR-4/Stealth R/T Twin-Turbo owners really enjoy beating up on one of the most respected GM sports car.  I'm pretty sure I'd get walked hard the way my R/T TT is currently running (boost leaks, syncronizer problem, & a general lack of previous maintenance), but I'm looking forward to finishing up my Challenger project, complete with a 416 stroker w/some twin Garretts & a pair of sidemounted Supra intercoolers. :biggrin:
Your 'Cuda definitely sounds like it can handle its own out on the streets or at the strip. :2thumbs: :worshippy:
1973 Dodge Challenger......................The ongoing project. (00/----\00)
1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin-Turbo....The sunny day cruiser (RTBoost)
1990 Toyota Celica GT Liftback...........The new daily & winter driver.
All-American Muscle: 'Cudas and Challengers...Still the Elite and always will be.
