Mustang_NTriangle -> ME vs LS2 (C6) (5/4/2008 11:38:08 AM)
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?

i think he might still win but it will be close, take a video of it [;)]

2005 C6= LS2

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
Stkjock -> RE: ME vs LS3 (C6) (5/4/2008 12:50:59 PM)
LS3 didnt go in to the C6s till the '08 model year
so its an LS2 - good luck you should be able to take him
xxkazp3rxx -> RE: ME vs LS3 (C6) (5/4/2008 2:13:00 PM)
You should get him... around same weight... and you're running his bhp to your rw... with better gearing.. should be good to go.
Sarge_13 -> RE: ME vs LS3 (C6) (5/4/2008 2:40:19 PM)
Don't run him over 120 and you've got this.

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...
97tplsGT -> RE: ME vs LS3 (C6) (5/4/2008 7:28:25 PM)
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.
USMCrebel -> RE: ME vs LS3 (C6) (5/4/2008 10:09:51 PM)
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
MrRogers -> RE: ME vs LS3 (C6) (5/5/2008 7:19:16 AM)
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

X2 Good luck man, you'll need it![;)]
Mustang_NTriangle -> RE: ME vs LS3 (C6) (5/5/2008 10:05:23 AM)
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.
bluebeastsrt -> RE: ME vs LS3 (C6) (5/5/2008 10:41:46 AM)
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.
lieu910 -> RE: ME vs LS3 (C6) (5/5/2008 11:00:10 AM)
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.
