c6 ls3 vs cammed t/a
i was crusin with my buddy today and spoted a new c6 i thought it was an ls2 so i didint think id have a problem. i pulled up next to him and gave him the jump thinking its the ls2, well he drops in down a gear it was a 6 speed and hits it with me right after from a 40 roll. he was out about a car and a half and we ran up to 120 with him about a car ahead im like **** its gotta be an ls3. so next time we line up again from a 40 and hit it on 3, i ran it up to about 110 top of 3rd and shut down with me about a car and a half ahead. last race was from a 20 roll i just put nittos on so i knew id hook 3 beeps and were off i slam second and prayed my 10 bolt would hold hit 3rd and ran it to about 90-100 with me 3 cars ahead. i have mods in sig and i had me 200lbs my friend 230lbs and the t tops off he said it was a stock m6 and he was by himself, i have to say they are impressive. i would like to run him without my buddy and the t tops on i know id have a better outcome

Who knows... Its the street and you said it was a manual so you never know. I made 380 on a Mustang dyno and know I can drive. I never would have pulled a LS3. I don't even know if I would have pulled a LS2 like that. The only vette I ever raced was my buddies and I pulled like 3 cars from 50-100 on his LS1 tuned/intake vette.
Who knows, either way. Good kill on the new vette. You know that **** has to hurt his feelings...

Nice races, what do you trap? Just asking because the average well driven LS3 vette should do between 116-118, I've seen a couple 119 runs including the guy who holds the record for the fastest stock LS3 @ 11.71@119.94mph.
Anyway, it's all in the driver. I'm not going to speculate as to whether or not it really was an LS3, or if the guy could drive or not.
Just for reference, here's a quick vid to show what they are capable of in almost stock form. All I have done is a Vararam and a ported TB. The car I raced in this vid ran consistant 12.3s@ over 116mph multiple times. Watch closely and you'll see he jumps me, and I have a passenger. Run was from a 60 roll on in 3rd gear, and no he did not let out of it.

BUT, it also depends on track, weather, DA, etc. That's one of the biggest factors people don't take into consideration.
Nice kill, OP. I ran one of them last year. Brand new, white, A6, from 60-140 and I only put maybe 1 1/2 to 2 cars on them (probably trapping about what you would). They are definitely strong as hell. An M6 would have done better from what I hear but that brings into consideration the driver when it's a six speed manual.

i dunno man, i'm going to need some proof for that one. the 2006 C6's with 400hp were good for 12.7's, and now with only 30-36hp more, they are at 11.7? that seems like a bit of a stretch.
Edit: I stand corrected. did some searching, and they are just a lot faster than i thought they were. found a stock LS2 that did 12.21 (didn't know that was possible), and i found the video of the LS3 that did 11.71. nuts.

The simple fact is that unless you are a maniac who has enough time to practice A LOT, you're not going to be extracting the full potential out of any of these cars.
The 11.71@119.94 run for the LS3 is about the equal of the C6Z running the 10.90s on stock tires, yes it happened, but it's not the norm. As someone else said, most of the GOOD times are between 12.1-12.3 or so for the LS3 cars, some better, some worse.

haha, was about to reply until I saw the edited version. It really is all in the driver, **** it's like someone saying an LS1 f body "can" run 12s because one or two of them did, and we all know they MOSTLY run lower to mid 13s.
