How much slower are us vert stock compared to hardtops?

 

This question has never been asked before!



We are just a tad slower than the hardtops. About a .1 or .2 in the 1/4 at worst.

Really though, it doesnt matter. Some LS1s are stronger than others.

 

yep, verts supposedly weigh in about 140 or so lbs more than a comparable hard top.

I believe the general rule is 0.1 second penalty for every 100 lbs therefore about .14 sec AVERAGE difference.

At higher speeds we'll have a slight aero penalty though too, even more so with the top down.

Still well worth it though IMO, especially here in San Diego

 

Yes i agree it is well worth it yeah i heard the .1 for every 100 but i wasnt sure thanks

 

Also i have a strong ls1 so i know it doesnt matter just wondering

 

about a header install away

 

its kind of wierd that for my car (BMW M6), the 0-60 for the vert is 4.6 seconds, yet the coupe of 4.8. Just like the gallardo spyder and the regualr gallardo. The spyder is faster. Dont ask me why, it is like this.

 

Yes, its like those cool GM factory workers knew to make our Ecu's a little hotter than the coupe's to more than make up for the weight penalty. I haven't any trouble with 05 &06 Goats or coupe's, even 6-speeds. Of course I realize I could just be lucky. Stock with a lid & muffler & A4 with 3.23 gears. Oh yeah, I've had about 45 years of experience street racing.
