Chuck I have never ran it on the strip because I don't like launching it because I know it would probably be fine but I get OCD about something breaking so I don't. But I assume it would be 10's

4.77 gears and 500+whp? That is a terrible combo. Ditch the gears. Those will hurt you significantly.

What he said! I'm surprised if you took time to build motor etc why would you leave those n/a gears in rear!

Anyway yes you will smoke your friend from a roll. Most STOCK cars don't stand a chance. Not sure on the specs of your build so can't comment on how you would do against a Z06 especially with the gears you have.

At 550 whp stock zo6 was no problem for me.

Any opinions on that? I feel like I can dust him no problemo but I wanted to see your opinions before I go making a fool of myself.
Further more, can my S2000 beat stock vettes?

I don't have a math degree like my wife, but...

From a roll it will be close, driver error. I have raced srt8 chargers,300c,challenger, and Cherokee. I have won some and lost some. By far the fastest was the Cherokee. Most of these has intake exhaust. That's about it. From a dig hope they spin. My car is just intake test pipe exhaust. So pretty close to stock.

I find it hard to believe that someone with a 500whp s2k would be asking this question.

Should be able to walk him from a roll no problem... From a launch he will likely pull you given the advantage of being able to just floor it and let his automatic trans and 470 ft lbs do all the work while you fight wheel spin.
