well i hope i got my vettes right ..lol any way in my town i have seen a few of the new corvettes with the ls2 and was always curious as how do they run .both i have seen were auto and they seem to always rev at me and stare me down when im just cruising around. I seen one guy in a marron convertable kick down on it about 10-15mph and is it me or what but it didnt seem to impressive to me.

sounded great but just didnt seem to have the go that my car has .i know this car should walk me bad but whats your experiances with them being stock to a midly bolt on ls1 ..sorry if this is not a kill or death. just curious as to how they run compared to a bolt on ls1 and i didnt know were else to post this if its in the wrong forum please move it to the correct one thanks..

Also my car Runs a 12.9xx @109.8

I think you would be a driver's race with an auto C6 vert....but the edge would go to him, IMO.

Nice car BTW.

w/ ur 4.10s u SHOULD take him outta the hole...but im w/ pony on this one...im givin the edge to him simply b/c u have minor work and he IS lighter than u

I've played with a couple on the freeway and they couldnt get away from me. I was right on their ***. I think they both were autos. I am very lightly modded but my car runs really strong.
They are great cars

Depends on what you run across really...torque management (implemented by the computer) from the factory really holds these back (at least it did the 2005s...not sure if that is still the case). With torque management, there were a few that were putting down stock LS1 F-body track numbers. With torque management disabled, those numbers tended to jump up to the stock LS6 ZO6 times (where the car really should be based on its factory power rating and weight).

As with anything on the street, it comes down to the driver. There are a lot of bad drivers in this world. And they seem to populate the streets without prejudice for vehicle type. I've seen bad drivers in imports, vettes, you name it. Kinda reminds me of the dude that decided to fly by me in his new 2005-ish GTO (LS2), and ground the **** out of 3rd gear

A decent driver makes the c6 an easy 12.5 second car, with either the manual or the new 6 speed auto. Not to mention over 100mph there is a severe aero advantage.

Very good performer out of the box. One weakness is the runflat tires that come stock.

GXPPOWER

a c6 will beat you manual or auto. you will get him off the line with your gears. and after that you really dont have any hope. unless he goofs up his launch. i would assume a c6 aut puts down probly 340-360ish to the wheels? but its the weight difference they weigh probly what 200 lbs less? + aerodynamics something like 3100 lbs vs an ta weighing 3400

06cobaltSS

the base c6 weighs about 3280 lbs and i believe the autos only put down 320-330rwhp.

Really?? They dyno that low? I'm not trying to argue b/c I really don't know...I just thought they put down more than that....around 340-350 for the a6 and 350-360 for the m6 is what I have always heard.

slick1851

And you should rember FBODYs are underated from the factory

330whp doesnt really seem to low to me

stockz

He is right .. I have raced 3 one i know was stock and we were even .. the other had two passengers and i was able to pull him .. the thrid pulled me hard .. not sure if he had any extras but when we were doen i was a fender off his bumper .. so i say they have the edge ..at least on my car

I run right at the same times 12.90's at 107

Riz88

Two passengers? That's a tight squeeze...

Blackout6

it would be a damn good race, and i agree it would come down to the driver from my experience

ls1chris

ya i have heard about the torque managment on them cars maybe that had somthing to do wiht it.but i love the vettes i almost got one before i baught my ta it was a 99 theft recovery just needed motor and trans body was perfect car only had 38k on it asking $9900 for it ..i kinda wish i would have got it lol one day i will run up on a deal again and will have one in the future

VENGEANCE

best ive seen out of a stock one is low low 12's. They are comparable to the LS6 C5 Z06's.

I ran a stock auto C6 from a dig until about 100 and I pulled about a 1.5 cars on him.

M3Corvette

330 to 340 for the auto is the norm (closer to 330)

jpat1023

hmm...well that make sense, but I know I would be kinda pissed if I bought a new ls2 vette and it dynoed 32Xrwhp...that just seems too low for an ls2.
