The vette did better than I expected. I'm impressed!

Agreed. 392 cars lucked out by not being in the line up here it seems. LOL

LS2 C6 isn't that great, if it's still on the base tune, it's a high 12, low 13 second car. Bimmer shouldn't even be racing those two, it's better suited to taking on a Mach 1. Good kills for the V.

Seems about right. 135i was probably a high 12s car. V probably high 11s. LS2 vettes can trap in the 1-teens. Cammed V should have taken the W, and it did.

Looked about as fast as that header only V considering the competition.

But yeah as expected. Id say I would have thought the V would have pulled harder on the vette actually. Probably a smallish cam

edit..just seen the ls2 has exhaust. if it has headers and tune...yeah nice kill then. but as with any youtube vid...details can be blurry

V1 is maybe a mid 12s car IMO. I don't see it being 11s car. No offense to owner or anything. Just giving my opinion on that.

Unsure on cam specs.

Well. It has the trap for high 11s at least. So 1-teens, like the vette.

Great races. V1 was impressive to me especially from a dig. Has more ***** than me to launch a V1 from a dig lol. C6 Ls2 vette's stock are not impressive in auto form.

Depends vastly on if it was an auto and if the torque management is gone. Cause an automatic LS2 stock was trapping 110. The M6's were good for 113MPH range.

Agreed. Should be in the teens I'd think trapwise.

LOL Launching V1 from a dig on stock rear is normally when you have to call AAA. Been a few guys pulling it off well recently.

^If the exhaust refers to cat-less downpipes, it definitely has a tune.

V's seem to go good most the time. Need that 8.8 though


Odthetruth I know you might have the 6 lug wheels on your V and seeing how it's hard to find wheels for them I had seen some 6 lug cts-v wheels and tires on Facebook for sale for $400, says it's in Massachusetts. I don't know how far you are from there but if you are looking for another set for slicks or whatever I can send you a link.

I'll see what all 'exhaust' entails.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Full set of 4? I have 2 spares already I keep my drag tires on. I'll take the info anyway.

I'd agree with you on that one!

When I saw just exhaust/intake, I kept thinking just a cat-back and a intake, which is pretty much pointless.

If it has catless downpipes then it has to have a tune/tuner.

Ls2 vette should be solid 12s stock assuming driven right. Of course 95% of guys that buy vettes are not gonna drive it right. But that's not the cars fault.

Good runs
