It's all about the handling and braking. Its not that much faster straight line. The vette has independant rear and we all know every time you change the direction of torque it is reduced. The F-body has an advantage for drag racing it is in the straight axle rear end. Only one directional change of torque instead of having four cv-joints to transfer all the torque. The vette is fast and alot more fun on the twisties. Have fun....

My opinion Vette=GM Sportscar light fast good for twisties
F-Body=GM Muscelcar/ Gran Torismo with the Power of the Top Sportscars for normal working people. fast and with aftermarket suspension also good for twisties
So you must decide what you love more Vette or F-Body with light to mid mods.
If you like the C6 mor from the design and all go for the Vette
If you an F-Body entusiast mod them a little more and you will be also lucky
I personality love the F-Body more

I messed around with one a little bit around here...just kinda gunning it when he went and vice versa through a gear or two and I can personally tell you that the C6 is not completely out of a full bolt on LS1 F Body's league. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have a C6 than 10 of my current cars, just saying. What's the average, real world trap on a stocker C6?

IMHO..the Vette was alot faster. On my Z28, I had an A4, y-pipe, and LM. Didn't have the headers. I really don't think there was a comparison between the two of my cars. Wished I could have kept both but I've always wanted a Vette so that's the way I went. Good luck with your decision and don't listen to all the Vette Hata's

I think this thread is such an argument because people have differing opinions on what 'alot' faster is. To me, 'alot' faster is about a 1 sec. difference in 1/4 time and maybe 8-10 MPH in trap speed. A stock LS2 vette will NOT be able to beat a bolt on LS1 F-bod by nearly that much, if at all. I've seen many LS2 Vettes dyno around 345 RWHP. That is easily surpassable by a bolt-on LS1.

Where are you getting that he has an M6 car? Are we talking about the original poster? He has an A4, and without a stall I assume.
FYI for those who were wondering about the info... Currently the fastest C6 runs posted to Corvetteforum are as follows--
Showroom stock
12.21 @ 115.45 - 06 A6
Bolt ons
11.62 @ 117.48 - 05 Z51 A4 - CAI, catback, headers, converter, tune, DR

okay, so the OP has an A4. because of that, we can only assume he's going to get an A6 corvette. if he's rocking an automatic now, he will probably want an automatic corvette. now, i don't know if he has a 3.23 rear or a 2.73 rear, but that being said, we're comparing a low to mid 12 second car to a mid to high 12 second car. there's probably a difference in ET's of .3 - .4 or so. that's not a huge difference by any means. if you are beating someone in a race by .3 - .4 seconds, you're beating them by around 2 car lengths. to say that is a "huge" difference is absolutely ridiculous.
will it be faster? yes, it'll be faster, but a 12 second car isn't exactly super fast to begin with. it'll be noticeable, but IMO not worth going into debt over. throw a cam in the camaro and you'll eat a C6.

Yeah I never comment much but wow car thats in the 12s at 112mph or faster witch is what ive seen stock ones run compared to a car if its an A4 stock making under 300rwhp going 13.20s at best with exhaust at 100-103. I cant believe there is even an arguement about witch is faster
get over it c6 wins hands down in the go fast department and handling department
stock m6/a6/a4 will make a stock a4 fbody look stupid
quadd
