Default 2001ss vs 2003 vette ?

My buddy purchased a 2003 vette new this spring and by the end of summer he has enough miles on it for him to run it hard.
A black on black conv with a-4

Mine 2001 ss conv a-4
Air lid and holley powershot filter.
Free air mods and 160 stat.
3000 stall Tci
3:73 gears

We ran from 20 mph

Both of us had a passenger

When we hit it I got about 3 carlengths on him through second, and stayed like that untill we slowed down at around 110.

I drove the vette it only has 2:73 gears, feels slugish till about 40 then pulls.
Regardless the results the same ( down goes the vette).

2.73s are just fine if he is planning on a verter for his vette.

No. A4 C5 either comes with 2.73 or 3.15 (performance package) gears. All M6 comes with 3.42 gears. The Z06 comes with 3.42 gears as well but the gearing is bit more aggressive.
