You can't be more right! Those are exactly my same thoughts!!

 

Has anyone built a ***** out N/A LS3 yet? Just sayin.
Andrew went 10.52.

To be fair, Matt built this car for a customer who wanted a FI setup so he had put in a custom cam specifically for that application. We had no idea that it would run as fast as it did. In its present condition, there is a little more left in it. (mostly in its 60') If robz specs a cam for it like he did his H/C LS6, we know the times will be better. I will not speculate on how much better since I do not keyboard race. However, suffice it to say that it would not disappoint. This is not to claim that the LS3 is any better, quicker or faster than an LS2 but is only to clarify the purpose of this particular build.

 

BTW- John, the owner of the car, made his first 10 second pass today. That was the highlight of my day. He is now torn between going all out N/A or a FI build. Stay tuned.

 

Dennis- Thanks for your kind words and I look forward to your 9 second pass.

 

John! Gary he might just make a 9 second pass

 

Especially if he goes the FI route.

 

Yous ever think the LS2s are goin' faster because they are making less power therefore its easier to hook up the tires @ the track? LOL but seriously this thread is gay, LS2 LS3 LS7 LS9 there all awesome motors & they all have there + and - 's... I just can't seem to come up with a logical answer how you ls2 guys can say its the better motor tho, if that was the case why would GM only run it for 2 years and create an ls3 and run that for 6? And why do the ls2 guys slap on ls3 heads and mainifolds? Hmm...

 

Nobody is hating Dennis... That's all in your head. Your giving yourself way to much credit just suggesting so. I'm simply discussing the subject, your the one adding the drama.

I personally just disagree that there woul be any difference between the LS2 & LS3 when it comes down to modding...

Your point that the exclusive "Corvette Forum" fast list is a 100% accurate account of all corvettes who have ever graced the quarter mile is a bit ignorant to say the least.

Sure, you could say its the top list for the "Corvette forum" but to suggest that list covers / represents any more than than outside of the forum is simply not true and makes your conclusion unfounded. There are thousands of corvettes on the road today... Your list samples less that 1% of them... Come on man... Just think about it.

As for my best time in my GS, since you asked, I have yet to take mine to a quarter mile track... Not that I have not wanted to but mainly due to the distance to get to one. I have however spent a good amount of time on the road course at the Homestead Miami Speedway... If you haven't taken your Corvette around a road course yet, you don't know what your missing!

Also, currently my car is still bone stock, I'm in the process of deciding what direction I want to take the car in... Every car I have ever owned has been quarter mile purpose built... I'm leaning towards setting up for the road course more than raw straight line performance though... I do appreciate both types of racing though.

Either way, nobody hating from where I stand...

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM

 

You guys are to serious, But I will tell you this. I do have the fastest 05 LMB C6 on my street. I don't care what you sayI thought you had the AIR RAM

 

Lol... I'm sure your faster than me... Mine is bone stock...

AIR RAM Is the name of my business... (AIR RAM PERFORMANCE) ... I'm just hanging out getting a feel for the community so to speak. I'm un likely to be chasing the "quickest" title... I have recenty been bitten by the road course bug... But I admire those of you who are "quarter mile" runners... Like I said, I have lived that life for over 20 years... Most in classic Pony cars than Modern sports cars though. Either way... I just love SPEED... I don't care what it's in... If your fast, you have my attention.

Dennis, I think the impersonal way forums tend to make us appear don't accurately represent what we are tying to say all the time... I got nothing against you, we both like and enjoy the same thing... Fast cars and more specifically fast Vetts... We just failed to agree on a single point... It doesn't make you bad... And I don't think it makes me bad...

SPEED SAFE, NICK (AIR RAM)

 

Nick I don't take offense to what anybody says, I have raced every year mustang made, hence the name dennis50nj

 

That's good... I was in the market for the new BOSS 5.0 when I found my GS for a grand less... That new 5.0L is an impressive power plant... 444HP from a 5 liter is just insane.... And boost friendly to add, it's very impressive to say the least.

Let me know if there is anything your needing performance wise... In most cases I can get them to your door for less...

SPEED SAFE, NICK

 

Will Do

 

Eric I never said it was the better motor I said so far its the faster motor, also it was in production for 3 years 05-07, the reason guys go with the LS3 heads and intake is because its cheaper, a lot cheaperthe LS1 and LS6 is a pretty good motor too

 

you got me there I guess I forgot bout the 05' & the ls1 / ls6 oops lol you can't say its the fastest but just the fastest on the forum... I'm sure there's guys going faster that arnt on here... I meet people around NJ all the time that dont post on here that run strong times! Anyway, us jersey guys should get a meet together soon & we can all chat cars and grab a beer

 

Good idea, the only meets I have ever seen are always up north, its always a good day meeting at a track rental. l have thought many times, could there be one faster. I live 12 miles from atco, I know all the workers, hundreds of my friends go every week, even if the person doesn't post or involved in the internet. lots of people at the tracks are, and plenty take video, its even easier with all the phones. and it would be posted by someone else just to shut me up

 

'08 if you count the Trailblazer SS

Thanks Gary, I couldn't remember the exact times and I forgot Rob went 10.2 on a 1.5 actually with the bolt on LS6.
