I think the most significant difference is the weight advantage the vette has. It doesn't have an enormously better coefficient of drag (.29 vs .33 I believe). Anyone have the numbers for frontal area on a vette vs a TA?

or rather that the tranny mates right up to the differential.

To answer your question about the 350/360 T/A, that should be more than enough to handle a vette at any speed. Don't know that I'd call it "rape", but it should have no problems.

Yes. I beat one at the track and all i have is lid, flowmaster muffler, and all the free mods. They are really not that much faster than T/A or Z28 stock from what I have seen at the track.

All C5s and C6s have a transaxle. The transmission and rear axle are one unit in the rear of the vehicle.
A drag coeficiant difference of .29 to .33 may not look huge on paper, buts it is noticable.
