I dont think i am going to do any work to the Vette and going to get another Camaro to race instead so i will be looking for a 01-02 Z-28 to do the same bolt-ons as my 02 SS just w/ a lot of weight reduction.

Love It! Congrats Joe!
Now maybe you'll race it in the Challenge Series at PBIR?!
Don't have to be fast, just know how to drive, be consistant, and be the first to the stripe!...but you already know that, no? :D

I don't know if quiet Joe's '08 is an Auto or Stick. But There are a couple of fast C6 Vette's in the mix at PBIR. Of course the fact that they weigh between 3100-3200lbs. + driver helps alot!
You already may know my Challenge group buddy Mike, from the PBIR Challenge series, but here's his bolt-on only Yellow LS3 '08 C6 Coupe.
We were there on a cooler last Wed. night of 2010 session (12/29/10), when he got his personal best in this stock cammed, No P/A C6 with 3.15 gears, over 48k miles on it, and a stalled Automatic Trans.
He did put GTO skinny's on the front, and took about 50-100 lbs. out of it also.

Here's another Challenge Buddy Joe G, with a Daily Driver 2005, LS2 Ragtop C6, Original maintained clutch, and over 50k on the clock. Cam,intake,4.10's, orig. Block & Heads.
(This vette also ran 182 MPH with 3.90 gears at the last mile run down south.)

Joe look under the car by the differential it should say either 2.56 or optional 2.73. If they are 3.42 on an automatic that does not seem right.
blk/slvr02ss
01-24-2011, 05:57 AM
It Says 2:56's!!I dont know why the sheet they gave me says 3:42's it must be just something they printed up!!!!!!!!!
1998MysticZ28
01-24-2011, 06:54 AM
wait you have 256 gears?
A3VETTE
01-24-2011, 08:41 PM
Yes the A6's came with 256's and 273's optional. If its got a 342 then someone made a mistake or put a M6 diff in it.
dicky98z
01-24-2011, 09:02 PM
3.42s are the steepest aftermarket gears they offer for the A6 vettes so far but dont let the 2.56s fool you they have plenty of get up and go.

How long does it take to put on a set of headers,air intake and go to the track and get some #s?.You dont need a good arm to shift an automatic!!

Just talked to Mike Norris and going to get Tuned Next Month In Palm City but Headers may have to wait and Air Intake I am waiting to ee what Mike recommends.Car needs some new tires before it goes to the Track but plan on next month to go !!!!!!!!!!!

Yes,i know but i dont know if i an going to get another 4 Gen Camaro to race or do work to the Vette ! I am thinking just Headers,Air Intake & a good tune w/ GTO Skinnies and a good tire in the back of the Vette will be Good for Mid to Low 11's !!!!!
