Default 02 SS vs C6 Vette w/Videos

C6 Vette Mods: From what i could tell, it was stock. No aftermarket exhaust was noticeable. Maybe he had tires?? Was definately hooking alot better then me or are they just that good??? lol How much hp do these cars make?

I knew i was going to lose, but why the hell not just have fun and race?? Im not 1 to bitch and moan because i got my *** handed to me. I look at it this way "well he just smoked my ***. So its time to mod up even more and see how the outcome will be next time around."

1st run from a 30roll, being an A4 im hurt but i kept it at 30 so the car would downshift itself.

On 2nd video, the car felt like it bogged down some on takeoff. I felt like it took off better in the runs in the 1st video, then here on the 2nd vid. Maybe i spun but it didnt feel like it. Not that it wouldve mattered lol but just how it felt to me on that run, on to the videos!

Judging by paint color it's a 08+ LS3 like mine, had mine for 2yrs and haven't modded it because it does to people what this one did to you.

By the numbers an LS3 powered C6 is only 30hp more at the same weight, but it sure doesn't drive like it.

Going to take a lot more than a converter, my 08 MN6 went 12.6@116 launched off idle with a 2.5 60' sideways into 2nd and 3rd (TERRIBLE / non existant trap prep)

You will get used to the C6. Even at 500rwhp, the LS3 gets mundane.

That will be my next mod, after i get my lowering springs, shocks & adj. phb installed. I do need the converter to help me out on rolls. Most guys around here want to roll race, im surprised he wanted dig runs.

wow no one has stated the obv. the douch vette jumped on the 2nd honk on EVERY race. wouldnt of really mattered, but still kinda a shitty move. some of those races woulda been a little closer.

your right about that from a roll, but I have beat 2 ls3 c6's at the track and the only difference between my car and his is a converter and tires. Not saying that I can beat all of them either, but its a lot better of a race than what he put up.

I have to mention that was some HUGE JUMP like 02ws666 said. You got your *** handed, but the jump was stupid big from the vette guy. Sounds like you need trans mod ASAP!

Well like i said, it sounded stock. No aftermarket exhaust was noticeable, but you may be right. He cruised by me before he started downshifting and hoping it at me and it was still very quiet.
