Whatever, stock for stock in the 1/4 corvette is going to be at least .3 of a second faster. The transmission is different the weight is, and the traction is the biggest difference. I own both and even modded my corvette is still faster. Until you put sticky tires on the Fbod has almost no chance. Yeah they may Dyno close but the vette will out perform all the way around.

hey man i raced the only LS1 M6 out there its not like there was alot to choose from its either him or the Formula i that is still stuck in my teeth.....TransAm7779 we got both vids and i posted them they should be in my previous post.....hahaha and i had traction control on not cruise control and I just sometimes forget to turn it off not a big deal tell you the truth i that cop freaked me out so i wasnt thinking about it..your car runs good and your not that bad of a driver and trust me these guys on here dont care how bald your tires are man ive been saying that and they give me hell for it haha and another thing on my car is that i have it tuned for 93 octane and all yall have out here is 91 im sure that doesnt make that BIG of a diff but still its better to have a higher grade of octane than a lower grade...i really need to detune that car............and no im not getting pulled 3 cars by any stock LS1 sorry dude i even gave this kid the jump and he wasnt a bad driver...and yes the SS im my book is faster than the vette...proof is at the track

Hey no offence to the corvettes, I personally love them and always have. My dad has a 69' 427 vette. But, I was out running stock ls1 vettes when I was bone stock by about 3 or 4 cars in a 01(A4) and 00(M6) WS6. Mainly because of there gear ratio those 2.73????? (I think they have) are dog ****. If this boy is running with a stock ls1 Camaro and Trans Am he will beat a stock vette no doubt. Now if your talking about a z06 that is a whole different story he will get killed badly.

The only difference is all them vettes you raced prolly never seen a track...They don't know how to drive their car and are still on RunFlats...The weight difference alone puts the vette ahead...then aerodynamics...A zip tie mod vette is deep in the 12s...Unless you want to say that their are just Factory Freaks...but I really doubt that a factory freak is the term...A factory vette minus runflats is a 12.5 to 12.7 car simple as that...from my experience...If you wanna come to Carolina I will show ya...Show me stock SS running 12.5s...Guys in this thread can't believe they will even hit 12s...I trap 110 how many FBods hitting that stock?

Oh and I never said it was sooo fast...I said easy 12s...stock....and im sure you have beat on some stock vettes being
99 Trans Am. SLP Lid, SLP MAF, P&P TB, LS6 Intake Manifold, PaceSetter Headers, Horserobber Exhaust, Free Mods, Level 2 Performabuilt Tranny with 3000 Stall and rear end set up + 3.73s, UMI LCS + Relocation Brackets, Eibach ProKit, 18" Z06 Speedlines with 295s in the back 17s in front
I guess that is stock too...If you didn't beat a few vettes at the track I would feel sorry for you

We started modding, we did all the bolt-ons and his car was faster, I added a cam and barely beat him. He went with the EXACT same cam and was beating me pretty bad, I bought AFR's and a 90/90 setup and started beating him until he added heads, then it was over. His car traps 125-126 mph on motor, my TA would trap 120-121. Your nuts!

granted weight difference and Aero helps out, it's still not terribly fast stock for stock. i think i may have posted earlier in this thread about a LS1 FBODY running 12.3 in the past, perhaps you're forgetting who you're arguing with but isn't the issue about a mustang, just because you drive a vette it doesn't mean you're on top of the world, i traded the thing in because honestly the only thing i liked about it was smoothe handleing. if you think you're vette is oh so superior why don't you bring it to my area and get burned by a HONDA CIVIC Si with bolt ons and some internals, time for more zip tie mods?... you drive a corvette.were family.stfu and quit arguing with you're own kin
