Listen to me!!!!!
I traded my 2000 500 hp car in for a LS3 2008 Base corvette 6 speed. And yes there is a diffrence. There is no comparison Period. Between an Fbody and a Vette especially an 08 with the LS3. I had H/C/I on my Trans am. It was fast but I still think this vette in sig can beat it. I traded it in for it. I say yes get a vette newer model.

With sticky tires on the vette it should be a beast..I know the ls3 vette can be a beast a couple of my buddy's were getting beatin up by one in their heads and cam ls1. All the ls3 vette had was a tune and exhaust. Ls3 is lighter and has such good flowing heads they easliy hit 500rwhp with just a cam and bolt ons. Damn.. makes me want one..lol

Was this car an A4 or M6? And is this "500hp" an engine estimate or the actual RWHP number?
I ran as fast as 12.6x in an '00 T/A with a 3500 stall, drag radials, air lid, and Flowmaster catback. At full bolt-ons + heads/cam level, you'd be running at least mid 11s with traction and a properly stalled A4. No stock LS3 will keep up with that from a dig. Roll racing is a different story though.
