Not sure if this is the LS2 or LS3 but here you go If you do race one be sure to post a video!

LT1_E85_Corvette

Man, I leave some good info and everyone throws down! LOL

I LOVE C6's and LOVE C7's. Peak power is not the key as to why I was dead even with my C6 LS3. I always got the punch due to LT1's low end power, then he would slowly real me in and then we would lock fenders to 140mph. Depending on shifts he would pull me a car or I would pull him a car for about 5 races. Sorry I don't have a video, because to be honest it was the last thing on my mind when it went down. This spring we already have lots of scenario's planned with the two cars, so I Will be able to satisfy everyones burning desire to know if a bone stock C7 can hang with a moded C6

Just look at how much more power my C7 made at 3k rpms when compaired to the full bolt on LS3... it's crazy

I think the OP was talking stock to stock (which we all know the answer on) but the fact that your stock C7 hangs with a modded C6 speaks volumes. Do the full bolt on thing to a C7 and it would, based on your experience, walk a modded C6.

I still find the obsession with this entertaining. I have never really been concerned about straight line speed as long as it was fast enough. I guess bragging rights matter to some and that's perfectly OK too and I suppose not different than lap time comparisons on a road course. In any event, whether the OP "buys it" or not, a C6 is not hanging with a C7 unless modded.

No race will happen. Ever.

I most certainly am not in this category, and I don't know why you are being so harsh. I have provided lots of good info on my experience benchmarking my two corvettes. The C7 does speak for itself, as the fast times list should answer any doubt you have about the C7's performance.

For anyone that's STILL confused, it goes just like this...

C7 > C6
C7 = C6 + Bolt ones
( in my case it was Kooks headers, ported intake manifold, nice 93 tune, dyno sheet was provided in earlier post)

Everyone, it's the NEW version of the corvette, and it SHOULD be this way, and it IS this way.

I have tested this, documented it, and shared my results. Once the weather in Indy get's better around spring time, my YouTube channel will have many more videos on this topic. I have many videos now that show the build of my LS3 C6, and lots of my track times.

OK, now the typical people that have ZERO facts to contribute, can continue their negative antics

Not only "ZERO facts", but nothing whatsoever other than bench-racing and hope (compared to those of us who have actually raced our cars).

Try hooked on phonics! Did I call you out? NO...I was agreeing with the post. I don't remember mentioning your name!

LT1_E85_Corvette

I shouldn't have used the reply button on your post, so I apologies if you feel this was directly towards you specifically. Either way, you liked a guys status I disagreed with, so i should have replied to his , which is what I meant to do

sam90lx

No worries. I think this internet racing is funny. Just line them up and run. OP is looking for a challenge but I don't think he can cover the C7.

BlueOx

If the OP really wanted a race, he could have taken Snorman up on his offer a long time ago. Beyond that, maybe he should just call dealers looking for C7 owners in his area and call them up to challenge them.

You guys are making the L98 vs LT-1 and LT-4 vs LS-1 sides seem civil.

The LT1 was just voted into Ward's top ten engine list. End of story .

ck9887

LS1 was on that list as well

Equal drivers, the C7 should win. Not much difference in raw HP, but the LT1 has much more torque.

Wards....as in Montgomery Wards??

BlueOx

You are dating yourself. Monkey Wards is old school.

From my experience a tenth/1.5 mph is ~a car length, curious to hear your thoughts as there wasn't a C6 there to run on the same day as you...my guesstimate was based on the pool of data we have for both, only one way to find out though. How they're optioned out could make a difference as well ie 3LT base C7 vs a 1LT Z51 C6 with NPP is going to make the race closer

Not trying to downplay the C7, just saying to me it's the difference between a LS2 and LS3 C6. With anycar the faster you go, the harder the tenths are to come by...hopefully we can atleast agree on that as I know are no stranger to the dragstrip.
