i raced a 98 SS and was pulling away from 40-100 and that was when i was at stage I intake, also raced a modified 1996 T/A dead even from a stop to 3rd gear then we slowed down. when i was at stage I, i used to race these cars, aot of them and i got beat once by a really modified T/A, but now since i am at stage III i dont waste my time with them. i race corvettes, modified supras and + so what are you talking about that an SS will smoke a stage III Z !!!!
