Default Gt500 vs Vortech 5.0

Went out to mexico today for a rematch with my buddies 5.0 since the gear install. Turned out to be a pretty damn good match up we lined up for a 40 hit and both took it to ~125 and he was out by about a car. His car makes 600/460 with the vortech.

Good race. But 2 things... that beeping was just cruel lol. "Beep.........Beep.Beep!!" And 2... theres no point in power shifting if your not going to be quick with your clutch foot.

not trying to be a dick... just saying, in most of your shifts, including the other video... you can hear the car rev up a bit in between shifts. Just gotta practice using less clutch pedal. Only down side is more trans wear.

Not to stir the pot or anything.... but i think its a little funny. Automach finally posts a normal video of a race...no one is anywhere to be found..

I figured this thread would have been booming by now.

I have plenty of other vids of said 5.0 that prove otherwise. It is a strong running car.

TQ is irrelavent on the 5.0s. Trans gear and rear gear is your tq. Cant compare the LS to the 5.0. There diff breeds. One makes a lot of hp with rpm and tq with a lot of gear. The other one makes hp and a lot of tq with extra cube and less rpm. Also doesnt have the gear, uses its tq.
