GT500 had a very tall first gear. 3.31 differential with a 2.66 first gear is not ideal for launching. Many are installing a 3.73 or 4.10 gears with sticky tires. The result would be quite different. Unlike the Corvette changing out a gear in a GT500 is very cheap in comparison.
But to compare total gear ratios in first gear.....
C6 ZR1..................7.83:1
Gt500....................8.94:1
C6 Z06...................9.10:1
C6/C7 Z51 M6/7....10.16:1
C6/C7 A6..............10.32:1
C6/C7 Z51 A6........11.00:1

Whats the difference? Because it's a corvette forum does that mean you have to kiss it's *** and be biased and not say anything negative about it. That's the problem with the C7 forum, everybody is so far up the cars *** they can't see straight.

I don't get it, why would anybody expect a stock C7 to beat a GT500 in a straight line? It's not a negative aspect of the C7. They are totally different cars in different classes. I met a GT500 owner in a Publix parking lot last Sunday and we spoke to each other. Not once did we compare ***** sizes. We just enjoyed each other's vehicles. The GT500 is a monster, but not something I would want to drive every day.

The Z51 A6 is getting close to a good drag racing ratio.

I agree..people get butt hurt so easy when you talk about another brand it's childish IMO.

It is considering the crappy Goodyear tires that have a decade old technology.....With a set of Michelin Super Sports, I would expect it to do better 60'.

The view of the rear of the car from the still starting frame of the video you posted above is terrible IMHO. Do you actually like the way it looks?

No runs in my paint and fit and finish is near perfect. Just a little bit of mods to the C7 and bye bye GT. besides... The GT ain't much to look at in MHO.

They are a monster some of the stock GT500 are dynoing close to and some over 600hp and 600lb/ft TQ...I had a GT500 and they are very easy to mod.
Stock vs stock the 13-14 GT500's will give the ZR1 all it can handle...out of the box they're a 11.50 at 125 plus car with no problems.
