Arrow Turbo LS Fox vs LS3 C6 *video*

Little drama behind this one, but I won't get into it. Hopefully it doesn't spill over to this site as well.


Fox runs out of gear at ~120, which has now been fixed.

Good run. There is a Turbo foxbody in Austin that is a Chevy swap. Its the car to beat down there right now. I seen it trap over 160 sideways all over the track.

Good run. I watched the vid of the fox at the track. Car has potential to be real fast. A bolt-on ls3 vette should trap 122-125 though.

I know the vette is 3220 without me in it. The fox "should" weigh around 2700 or so or atleast that is my educated guess.

With what the fox was trapping in he 1/8th it "should" be a 125-126 car

Mine did 123 so that might clear things up.

The short version would be owner of the fox talked all kinds of **** about how his fox was going to beat my G8. and with the results of the car so far... It wouldn't have But i sold the car and had to race him in my way slower car and lost.

Good to know.

Just wait until the C6 is modded like the G8. Then you will be in a constant struggle to get the darn thing to hook anywhere

Kind of figured that would be the results of this one lol. Hard to beat a turbo LS anything in a fox. Pretty bad *** combo. Too bad I'm stuck with my boat anchor 3rd gen
