Default looking at a 92 corvette. questions

Its an auto, with a greenwood body kit and a spoiler. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of gears it may come with, and how it will be compared to my camaro (first in sig). The camaro ran a 13.6, but i usually see high13s.

if its an auto, i believe the gearing is a dismal 2.59 ratio...as far as quarter times, i was told low 13s in an M6 and mid 13s with an auto...it will probably be a little quicker than your z, and a little more refined as well...its a win win if its a good deal...

You could get either a 2.59, 2.73 or 3.07 rear end with the autos. Look for the RPO codes under the console or behind the passenger seat under the storage lid. That will tell you every option. Personally I'm not a fan of the greenwood kits at all. If it has the 3.07 rear and is in good running order it will be about the same as your Z at around 100-103mph. I've seen em run anywhere from bottom 13s to low 14s depending on options, driver ability etc etc.

D36 isn't so great. If you want to upgrade, the D44 should be all you would want unless you are going to put down a **** ton of power and want it to stick too.

i was told the 36 is good up to about 400rwhp and some track passes...still a time bomb like the 10 bolt, may last a lil longer though
