The C7 auto will win from a dig for sure....2500 rpm stall vs 1500 in the C6.

lol...so what's your car actually run? Or is this the transitive law of racing?

Not saying my car is faster than a C7 but I do think the cars are close enough that it could come down to the better driver...

Maybe this is the college football BCS poll format of drag racing. If Auburn can beat Alabama when then were number, surely they can beat #1 FSU right now.

agree

ck9887

Either way, a bolt on C5 pulled on a C7

04_Z06_CE

correct.
I didnt write my post correct.
I meant to say it would be nice to see a roll race , so driver error and traction are less factors.
Either way , the LT1 will win .

When it comes to the A6 cars, IMO that's not going to be the case.

You're probably right as the A6 takes out some of the other variables.

auto vs auto-c7 ftw by 1-2 cars
manual vs auto-automatic ftw pending m6 c7 drivers skills
manual vs manual-better driver ftw

all races need to be similar fuel level and driver weight for accurate comparison...otherwise a featherlight driver in a c6 with the fuel light on will beat a c7 with a full tank and heavyweight driver as the extra power will be offset by the extra weight

LT1_E85_Corvette

Actually.... it was MUCH closer than you thought

My C6 LS3 M6 car had Kooks Headers, Ported Intake manifold, and NICE tune on 93. THere are some other bolt ons, but i'm not listing everything.

C6 dyno'd 421whp/425wtq


My 1LT Z51 M7 car dyno'd 417whp 417wtq

Both of us are experienced drivers, and I pulled 118mph out of that build (without E85) on my C6. We made 5 street runs from 40-140mph and ever other race we would exchange wins. I would either pull him a car or he would pull me a car. They are DEAD *****. I was very impressed with my LS3 given the sever trq disadvantage however, in the same light I was very pleased to see how well the C7 fared with a tastefully modded C6.

**Note**
Dyno's were back to back and no more than 25 mins appart

Still not one C7 owner in FL willing to step up....

bigterpsfan

I can't wait to run a new z when it comes out in my h/c/i z that should be a good race. On the track of course.

LT1_E85_Corvette

Friend, I would LOVE to because this Indiana weather right now is less than desirable.

VIN666

A call out thread for a street race?
Lame.

Take 'em to the track and get slips.

SDatl404

Who said street race? That's illegal.

Snorman

lol at "1-2 cars".
IMO it's going to be more like 4-5 cars.

I gotta say, you really have that take off down. Several of the videos posted have lots of wheel spin and were obviously not the best drivers. Your videos against that GT500 do a great job of showing how you get off the line. Awesome stuff.

If it does turn out that the cars are exactly the same speed (or very close), maybe you can teach him how to drive his car to keep up with those 11.5s.

Just outa curiosity, how do you enjoy driving the C7 vs the GT-R?

YakovC6

too much talk here. Race or don't talk. I race anyone anytime. I not scared. If I lose it ok. If I win it ok. win/win

I find this incredibly hard to swallow.

I absolutely agree that at the drag strip, the C7 will simply cut deeper and deeper 60' times because of it's torque surplus, and get down the track quicker then a C6, any given location/day/scenario assuming equal drivers. I also agree, auto to auto goes to C7 if there is that big of a difference in the stall speeds, again, assuming equal drivers.

However, the LT1 isn't some top end screamer vs the LS3. They have fairly similar curves up top. So for a bolt on(intake, full exhaust, tune I'm assuming?) LS3, which puts down a hair better rwhp #'s then the LT1, to not be able to pull consistantly on a Z51 C7 seems funky. With high speed highway runs, the C7 huge torque advantage at 2000rpm's doesn't mean much of anything. So now, assuming 420whp(C6) and 410whp(C7), we're left with:
C6(~3220bs) 7.67lbs/whp
C6 Z51(~3270) 7.79lbs/whp
C7 Z51(~3440) 8.39lbs/whp

Anyone can feel free to correct those numbers, but it would appear no matter how you fudge the numbers, in any direction, a bolt on C6 has a noticable edge.

Was your car a base or Z51 C6? While being almost 50lbs lighter then a Z51, the base(C6)vs Z51(C7) gearing would certainly make an impact.
