Yeah, post the times.

If you really want a comparison, do three runs against each other, then switch cars for another three.

Should be a good one.

I'd say he beats you by .1

Asumming all things are equal, of course (both getting good launches, both shifting well if you are manuals, etc... )

Does his have the optional gearing if it's an auto?

No times on these races. Old time run what you brung. Gruge matches and 1/8 mile track. Ck out the web site. There is a 4X4 Jeep srt hemi there that beat me twice before the vararam. He has a great hole shot(quess why). Lots of vipers, street rods, Z06's show up.

Thats unfortunate...I was looking for real differences :P

You have a good chance to win, just get him at the start and you will probably hold him off.

The LS3 will pull ahead, even with the 2.56 gear.

I've beat him in the past(1-2 lengths) when he had his 07 ls2. Thats why he traded for an 08. The link below is me racing a C5.

I didnt mean real differences, I meant hard fact differences...so we could see what more 08s are able to actually run.

I don't power shift (gas peddle to the floor thru the shift) I speed shift and I can do that pretty quick. My brother isn't quite as fast. This Sat. he said he is going to power shift if he loses the first race against me.

So a decent driver in the LS2 versus a slower driver in a LS3? As mentioned earlier, switch drivers after x runs.

P.S. Don't forget the slips!

Well any car can beat another if the driver sucks. I agree with the 3 races then switch drivers and race again theory

Are the cars 6 speed stick, or auto?
I think the 08 car will beat you if it's a Z51 A6, not by alot but he should pull on you.

Both M6. Both Z51. He does not have the butterfly exhaust. It will be slight Mod 07 against stock 08.

Are you racing for best ET or whoever crosses the line first? He may beat you ET wise but it's going to be the driver's race. Good Luck.
