Default Any Ram Hemi's raced a 99 or newer Z28???

I was at a redlight and a 99 Z-28 6-Speed pulled up and reved its engine so I figured WTH... i will give it a try... We took off and to my suprise I was able to stay up with him until about 65 or 70... and then he pulled a car length on me... I imagine with a topspeed of about 159 or 160 it would have only gotten worse, but I really thought that they were faster off the line than that... I have a 99 T/A and I always just assumed it would smoke my HEMI... I have a Hypertech Powerprogrammer and thats it..... I have 3:55 gears... I think if I drop some low gears in there I may actually have a shot in a quater.... anyone else raced a Z28 or T/A???

Stock LS1 Camaro or Firebird will run 5.3-5.4 0-60 and low 13s in the quarter. He was not trying or has issues.

Yeah either that or he didnt know how to drive his car... Like I said I have a 99 T/A and from the get go figured there was no chance ... I was just curious if anyone had run one....I will have to get the wife to drive the Ram and I will see what it will do against the T/A... My friend has a 00 WS6 T/A and he and his wife just bought a SRT-10... I have never seen an SRT-10 run but he said it will dust his T/A.... What about the new GT Mustangs... what are their times like???
