For the fact that C5's have recorded top speeds of 172-174 with the same exact powerplant that's in their LS1-powered F-body cousins. C5's have better top-speed stock for stock, mod for mod no doubt. But in this case it may have been different due to you making about 35-50whp more than him.

Who told you F-bodies average 10rwhp more than C5's? Cause that's B.S. I've seen countless stock C5 & F-body pulls in my 10 years at FFP. They put down pretty much the same, about 295-310 for M6 cars. And 250lbs can easily account for +/- 2.5 tenths by the end of the quarter-mile depending, last time I checked that's a pretty decent advantage.
I do agree that it depends mostly on the car, but still, the fbody should dyno higher stock for stock.

Really? So....the exact same engine/transmission in two vehicles, with one having a SRA and the other a more complex IRS shouldn't make any difference on rwhp? Wow....maybe I should retake physics!

Thanks guys!
As for the vette pulling on me up top... I guess we'll never know since we didnt get that far. I definately wasnt going to be going 120+ on the road I was on.
Bring the car out sunday nights to Charlotte beach. I think I remember seeing your car before at New Era. The plate looks familiar. hahah
Or go to RochesterRacing.com.
You'll see a ton of local enthusiasts there.

These aren't cars that hit 120mph in a blink of an eye, they are stockish cars. No reason to go that fast.
The winner was VERY clear and he would have kept that.

As far as drag on a C5, it is not far superior... Will it make a slight difference? Yea, but not enough to make up 20Rwhp or pull 2+ lengths on someone.. Unless you are just doing stupid speeds.
As far as dynos.. It all comes down to the dyno and the cars.

Is that C5 an A4? Those numbers look a little anemic even for an LS1 intake car. Should be in the 290+ range but I guess that's splitting hairs.
The C5 has been tested at 174mph in the past. That's a good amount faster than any LS1 F-body ever tested. It's proven fact man, proven fact.

What is the fastest fbody ever?
Either way, I can't see a C5 pulling 2+ lengths because of nothing else except for drag by racing from 50-150 or something.

A better question would be what's the fastest an LS1 F-body has ever been officially clocked/tested at. Several mags have tested top speed in our cars and it was usually in the mid 160's. I've heard of 170 but never actually seen that documented. C5's have however been documented at speeds close to 175. How hard is it for some people to believe that a Corvette is better aerodynamically? They've always ran higher top speeds with the same powerplant. What's so rocket science about that
