Just to throw some Corvette FACTS in the mix:

2005 C6 Corvettes autos had the 4L65-E A4 (Not A5). It came with a 2.73 rear or optional "performance" 3.15 rear.

2006 and up autos had the A6.

C6 A6 Vettes come with 2.56 rear ends. Starting in 2008 with the A6 you could get an optional "performance" 2.73 rear which is also part of the Z51 package for automatic cars.

And some published weights for "Normal" (non vert or Z06) Corvettes:
C5 3,246 lbs.
C6 3,179 lbs.

 

YES...what he said. still 4 forward gears.

chevy doesnt make a 5 speed auto


BTW. I was referring to the auto cars. Not the Manual. The Z51 LS3 with a M6 is the money making for sure... if you can launch and make it stick. I am not saying the cars will be able to out perform the C6 vettes... NO WAY. But both M6 and A6 SS Camaros will make high 12s in the 1/4

 

Thats about 70lbs of Big Beautiful C5 ***
and eyes that wink...

Got a love a girl with a nice ***.

 

i prefer my girls to weigh a lot less than 3,200lbs. but to each their own........

 

I drove my "CAI only" Z28 to a 13.0 - on DR's. I have no doubt I'll get my next Camaro to run deep 12's, if not faster. 380ish rwhp got me 11.9's w/ a 3650 raceweight.

Sadly my TBSS nearly trumps that time weighing almost 1k #'s more. Add to that it makes 20 more rwhp with just a cam.

Isn't technology fun?

 

its not "CAI only" if your running drag radials too.

 

Well... My car actually weighs in at 3150 w/o me.

SEXY C3 Curves... packed with a LS1 punch

 

If we're bench racing this hard.....
I'm paying most attention to the gains made by the LS3 C6 guys with very minimal mods..... CAI, headers and tune seem to make this motor crazy!!! Let alone if you swap cams....

How many of us didn't at least put those mods on our 4th gen cars? Hell, I think its almost required after purchase.

A lot of LS3 C6 guys with those three mods are seeing 400/415rwhp. Run that through the drag calculator and see what you come up with!

 

Drag radials didn't help much.. I only cut 1.9X 60's.

My TBSS cuts low 1.7's on 20inch Yokahamas though.

 

1.9's is very different than cutting 2.1-2.2's on street tires. its almost .5 seconds in the 1/4.

 

For being such an expert on drag racing, why is your cars 1/4 mile time and speed so low for so much RWHP?

My last car had 368 RWHP and turned 12.6 at 116 and I cant shift at all.

 

I've seen tons of people cutting 1.9s on stock tires.

 

My car is lid-only (unless you count a Pro-5.0 shifter) and ran 13.15@109.60 on factory Goodyears. The 2.2 60-foot time indicates this is an easy 12-second car if I could launch. Granted this was at a well-prepped track in good air but I am looking forward to seeing what the fifth gen with a better power/weight ratio can do at that track.

 

I'm betting 9 to 11% , not because of some super killer lube, but the static 15% or so absorbtion most people site just starts to break down on high HP engines.

 

i got kicked off the track, only one botched run in. i need a cage.


my raceweight is 3960 with me in it. what did you and your car weigh in at? I was running street tires BTW. (your time isn't all that good either for you mph, so im guessing street tires for you). Whats your gearing like? What's your full slip look like?

and in the end, btw, comparing track numbers is like comparing dyno numbers. unless you were there driving alongside against me, no matter how hard you may try, it's pretty much impossible to compare.
