i just got my blower installed and my buddy has a 2005 C6 vette, vert, automatic with 3.50 gearing. We are going to hopefully have a little fun next weekend from a dig and roll.

I think it will be a good race any thoughts?

if you're pushing 390/370 to the wheels I think you have him as long as you get a good launch on those 4.10's

You should get him... around same weight... and you're running his bhp to your rw... with better gearing.. should be good to go.

A convertable GT with the added weight of a blower is the same weight as a C6?...Don't think so xxkaz...I do agree he will edge him out since the A4 equipped C6's are the slowest......

OP- I have never heard of Corvette owners getting gear swaps as their first mods....Is that a typo? A 3.50 gear ratio is not remotely close to what stock auto's come with......It will be closer than you think if he does have 3.50's which by the way is a gear ratio I'm not even familiar with...

well, he did get the ls's wrong, maybe he got gear #'s mixed up???

Either way, I dont have enough knowledge to state an opinion, but I can say congrats on the new 'charger and good luck.

GT vert.. 3379
05' Vette.. 3179

Like I said.. pretty close... 200 lbs isn't that much.

no vette comes/ came with 3.50's but either way you'll edge him out, until aero kicks you in the balls, but it'll be over before then

You'll have to eat him from a dig because I don't see you pulling him if you guys are even..

Should be a good race..

Like some guys already said, don't even try to race above 100mph

he has performance axle with a final gear ratio of 3.50 from the factory rather than the 2.73s this is an option from the factory but not in many automatics.

390 to the wheels ought to be enough to get the job done. But I bet it will be pretty close. Those Ls2s put about 340 to the wheels and the vet is a few hundred pounds lighter. I never heard of a 3.5 gear ratio but if he's got gears it could be very interesting from a dig. good luck.

I know at around 450whp on my stock motor/Vortech combo I was having no problem beating LS2 Corvettes.

LOL I'd hope you wouldn't have any problems with an extra 110 to the wheels over the Vette.

I bet those weights are without a driver.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.
