Marauder vs Corvette

[mgmsleeper]

Got a friend who just bought a vette. Regular model nothing special. But just like a noob he thinks 200mph on the dash means its faster then a SC marauder.

My question is how much rwhp out the marauder would it take to take his pink slip. No mods on his car ...newer model vette

[guspech750]

Mod your car little by little and find out. That would be the fun way :burnout:

This eaton swap is coming along jut fine. I know it's possible to own his ego with the marauder I'm just curious as to wat kind of power

[slickster]

unless you have a sc dont even try. he's got about 340 at the wheels now

I know that much. He said no SC MM would beat that I tried to school him but it's pointless. Now it's a matter of showing him

Newer model Vette is factory at 430 HP --probable a low 13 sec in the 1/4 if driver knows what he is doing---. The best N/A MM is about 13.6 or 7 I think--so unless you have done anything to your MM he will likely take you in the 1/4 for now.

I know stock for stock it would win. The argument was SC marauder vs stock vette

What year vette? C5s I seen run 13.5-13.8 stock. A C6 could pull low 13s and maybe a high 12 with the right driver and conditions. A SC marauder depending on accompanied mods and how much boost would be a challenge for a vette.

He's no driver at all and he said it's a 2010

C6. Hmmmm good race and they are animals out the hole.

[johnnyrauder]

it sould be a good race a s/c mm makes any where from 400-500 rwhp. alot would depend on driver,hooking up, trans. ect...

The LS-3 models are solidly in the 12's with a 6 speed

Auto Convertible maybe low 13's cant find any road tests with 1/4 mile times. I did see a convertible run a 12.xx with a passenger at the track against my car.

[mgmsleeper]

C6. Hmmmm good race and they are animals out the hole.

IF they can get out it.

[mgmsleeper]

Sounds like a good challenge. I'm all over it

[CBT]

I have an old '77 Corvette you can practice on. :cool:

[99SVT]

I've beat a few of the newer C6 Vettes at the track, our MPH was similar, I just had better traction and gearing. If you can get solidly into the 12's it should be doable, most vette owners don't put drag tires on so they'll be crippled with trying to get traction with the runflats they come with.

Here's a quick list of what works for me:
- Trilogy blower, stock boost
- LT headers, midpipe, mufflers
- 2800rpm 9.5" stall convertor
- 4.10 gears, cobra T-Lok
- MT 305-45R18 drag radials
- a few other basic bolt ons, CAI, Control arms, etc.

You can easily add more boost to destroy them at the top end, but I tend to pull out several car lengths in the 1st 300' and try to maintain the lead till the finish line.

My only question is this..... what color is his Vette? I need to know so I can decide if I want to race him for titles....... because I won't own a crappy colored car. :D

[Joe Walsh]

I always love people who think that whatever the speedometer goes up to is automatically the car's top speed......:shake:

I destroyed 2 vettes on the street!

The first one I smoked my car was making 425RWHP & 445RWTQ! :shot:

The second one I crushed was a 2010 NEW Vette! (not a Z06)
And I beat him so bad I couldn't see his headlights anymore! :eek: :rofl:
I looked down when his lights vanished and my needle was burried past 140MPH!!! :cowboy: :gunfire:

My car was making 500RWHP & 487RWTQ!!! :burn:

With a eaton s/c you will still see tail lights! remember our cars are boats @4250lbs, that vette is a whole lot lighter, and depending on what engine combo he has he will be that much faster.

To answer the OP. It is NOT an issue. Providing you have proper DR's...

Trilogy
3.0 pulley
Kurgan tune
CAI
Lightning MAF

445/431 Consistant 12'3's / '4's even hot lapped.

Now, if it were a half mile track...

This post is rated E for everyone.

No argument here---the SC MM would take a stock '10 handly---regardless---

Let us know the results---

[F8LBITEva]

not to mention Vettes only weigh like 3500 LBS

[CBT]

Do you suck or what? :D

Yes, yes he do!!

[GAMike]

Ok....... Here goes...:)

According to Car & Driver 12/2008 comparo A C6 weighs 3273 lbs. and is 436hp to the crank. Goes 0-100 mph in 9.0 sec, with a 12.4 @ 117 mph 1/4 time.

That said, real world conditions (driver competency, tire pressure, ambient temps) will effect these numbers for sure.

I would say most vette owners I have come across don't know how to launch their vehicles effectively enough to be competitive with an S/C'd Marauder... Due to our weight, it takes alot less skill (but more balls) to launch an S/C'd Marauder. From a 50 mph. roll it would be more of a coin flip... jmho/experience:D:burnout:

[LANDY]

All I can say is on a roll I had one keep up with me today from 70-130 without the spray. Somewhere in Mexico.

Was it a new Z06? Those can run 11s all day unless it's a terrible driver.

Nice list of mods. And he is a street driver never been on a track

Exactly. That's his argument "the dash"

[99SVT]

Make sure you run him from a dead stop and outlaunch him. One thing I've learned is most novice drivers panic if you pull ahead of them early and then make silly mistakes, miss shifts, overrev, etc. It's a mind game, and if you can break his concentration, he'll give you the race.

I destroyed a co-worker on an older (carbed) Kawasaki Ninja this way. Got him to break concentration while lined up and once I got the lead he was so flustered he couldn't make up the distance. I had 2 passengers with me for witnesses. Then I refused to race him again that season, he had to take a lot of abuse from all the other riders at work all winter that a 4dr loaded with people beat him on a bike. I did the same to him the next year, it was even easier to do because I was already in his head.

[Spectragod]

Lol yellow


Oh, well given the color, that will change the deal, I'll be racing to burn that ugly POS to the ground, no need to bring a title, just a can of gas and a road flare.

Exactly! I've witnessed one with a cold air kit and DR's only run a 12.7 followed by a 12.5. I felt sorry and almost asked to borrow his keys, but he left.
Some guys are new car owners (like we all were), some just a bad day at the track (we've all had these days), some think that that is plenty fast enough compared to the Honda they drive Mon. thru Fri., and some quite frankly don't get it and never will.
Given practice and letting your acorns stretch out a tad, you can further push a car and become one with it, winning races against cars you would not normally win against. With that however, oil on the track? Wrong driver or a spaz? Acorns starting to look like they belong on a billy goat? You will screw up and lose everytime, or worse yet hit the wall.
What is your experince with YOUR car and how far will you push it? That's the real question here.

I have a S/C on my marauder and beat up on vettes whenever I get a chance. Yes it is close but I have yet to lose. Guess the vette guys figure I own a vette how could some big car like a marauder beat me? then they learn!
