What's the concensus.... LS1 with Hooker L/T & catback, lid, Eagle F1 GS D3, Pro 5.0 w/Speed Inc short throw, 12 bolt Moser w/4.10 vs Stock LT4 Vette?

Guy is trying to tell me that it drops 375rwhp!?! I'm raising the but want to make sure I have him by ALOT

 

i think ls1 will prevail... race and find out

 

Its not odd to see a LT4 run a high 12 stock...I think it'll be close...only one way to find out

 

stock to stock i think it would have been a drivers race...slightly more power in the LS1 but the vette is lighter.

modded...the LS1 should waste the stock vette.

 

I don't think it'll even be close. You got him pretty easily I think.

 

375rwhp stock...he's full of crap.

 

We're talking $$$$$ here...don't want to just "find out"

So if this car runs high 12's (he's a 6 speed also) ...what do you think the mods listed above will set ME at.

 

I doubt he can run high 12's. Some have done it but not many. With your mods you should take him no prob.

 

Both engines were underrated. The Vette is lighter, but hurt by the IRS. Stock vs. stock it would be close, but with your mods you will kill him. See if you can borrow some drag radials for the race and really rub it in.

 

4.10s will let you win if you don't screw up launch/shifts.

 

LT4's are strong....and have mucho torque. I think 12's are very possible, especially in a light *** Vette. If I am not mistaken, all LT4 vettes are 6 speeds.

 

LT4= 330hp and 340tq. Weighs a LOT less than an LS1 though, so I really dont know who would win.
And yes, Vette's have been 6spds since prolly the mid to early '80's

 

I think he meant that it was only possible to get the LT4 Vette in a 6sp, not the fact he was questioning whether or not it was a 6sp. Vettes do come standard autos, so he was sayin LT4s were only 6s. Back to the point, LT4s in those Vettes were badass, the Camaros hit low 13s, the Vettes were easy high 12s, but it should be a close race. And the Vette will not loose mod for mod at all.

 

The first year you could get the Corvette with a 6 speed manual transmission was in 1990, with the L-98. Prior to that was a 4 speed auto (700R4) or the 4+3 manual transmission (T10?). All LT4 corvettes were 6-speed. I think in 1996 (year of the LT4 vettes) that all manual vettes had the LT4? That might be a myth. And if you can drive, you should pull it out no problem, but only if that LT4 is stock. If the owner did bolt-ons and a hotcam swap, then he would be right around 375 hp give or take a few.

 

What the hell is a 4+3? My uncle had an '88 Vette and I am pretty positive it was a 6spd. I dunno though, it was weird. You could like pull up on the shifter or something and it would make it go into over drive or something
