What's the better engine overall an ls6 or ls3.
What would be a better engine to buy price isnt a concern.
|
The ls3 has more potential. Its rated more power than a ls6. If I were doing a stock style replacement I would do a ls3
|
I've driven corvettes with both those engines. The LS3 makes power very seamlessly. The LS6 makes the power very violently.
I like the feel of the LS6. |
LS3 - more cubes to start with and the latest block technology - Rectangular ports too on the heads!
Thanks,Matt |

Apparently the common view in the Road Racing section is that the LS6 stands up a bit better on the twisty stuff than the LS3.

why is ls6 more durable??
|
The LS3 has more potential since it's got bigger cubes but the LS6 is a great engine. So is the LS1. GM knows how to build a small block :D

One of the major advantages of the LS3 is the head technology. LS3 heads flow far better than LS6 heads, and they're cheaper too. The computer is also more precise for LS3s due to the better resolution 58x wheel. For the most part, the LS3 is a better motor. Combine the LS3 with a dry sump system and you've got a track monster. The C6 GS (6-speed) is the only LS3 (that I know of) that comes with a dry-sump system. If I were going to buy a C6 for the track, this would be the car I'd start with.
I have had 2 C5 Z06s and they are FANTASTIC. Not only does the car do as you command, but it talks back and lets you know the feedback you need when driving on the track. The C5Z is raw in both suspension and motor. Just the feeling from the throttle, the sound of the engine, the feel in the wheel... You know what is going on with the car. The C6's, not so much. However, what they lack in feel they make up for in technology. The LS3 is beast of a motor too. Not as raw, but makes more power very easily.
