Default how would i do against a c6?

never ran my car at a track, since its about 75 miles away and i dont have something to haul it there with.

but anyway how do you think id do at a 60 mph roll with a c6?
car weighs under 3400 w/ driver, engine is an 02 ls1 with t56, locker rear end with 3.73 gears, slp loudmouth exhaust, lowering springs, underdrive pulley, k&n intake, and lots of suspension stuff.

I haven't raced any C6's yet, but I am saying you won't be able to hang with a C6 at a 60 roll. You would have much better luck from a dig or at a slower speed. They are deadly up top once up to speed! In my opinion you are going to need to have full bolt ons to hang with him from a 60 roll and I think it will be close. So throw on some long tubes, nice flowing Y pipe, an LS6 intake or Weiland BBk, ported throttle body, Lid, and a nice tune, and you should be able to hang with him. This is all assuming its 6spd coupe vette with an LS2, the new ones have the LS3 and would be even more difficult to beat up top.

alright my car only weighs 3200 without a driver, NO 4th gen is that light unless it has weight loss mods, a c6 weighs about the same, but i do have lower gears than a c6, exhaust and intake and an underdrive pulley, its not much but should be worth at least an extra 20. and what does a c6 make to the wheels? 330-340?

yes it is stock also has the stock 3rd gen rear end ls1+3rd gen 10bolt = boom

dig, roll, whatever, the c6 is gonna walk away from you. You need some good power adders like most people have already said. You said your going to have to intall MY heads/cam/intake so I assume you already have them? Get them installed and get a tune. Then I think you will be walking the c6.

got some ported dart 225 heads, fast 90 intake, nick william tb, stainless longtubes, still havent decided on a cam yet, and im going to have the intake ported and go with a cutout, hoping to make 450rwhp+ with this set up.

3200lbs is only 200lbs more than my car and I have an iron block in mine and that was with 3/4's of a tank. To be honest it's really not that light and like everyone else is saying you have no power mods. You have an underdrive pulley which is worth about a .10 at the track.

With your heads, cam and intake you will def be something to watch out for, but right now... Sorry to say you are not.
