C6 vette vs 5.0

[jpgraham65]

Per Steve's "street challenge" thread I've been curious about how a lightly modded 5.0 vs a stock C6 vette race would go down. My brother has a stock z51 package 2005 vette and I'm wondering how my mods would stack up, both on a dragway and race track. As you can see by by my signature I've lightly upgraded both my suspension and engine performance. We haven't yet got to compare so I'm wondering if anyone else has compared something similar in real life yet?

[Grandpa]

An 05 is an LS2 which run "okay", but they aren't near as strong as the 2008+ LS3 cars. My comment was steered more towards a Z06/ZR1. A stock Z06 is a easy mid 11 second car with a mediocre driver. In the hands of a great driver they will run high tens - stock. A Zr1 is just that much more of a monster to deal with.


You should be able to beat your brothers car if his is stock and your slightly modded.

[jpgraham65]

I got ya, I just want to beat my brother's car. I was just wondering what the chances might be.

[jpgraham65]

In particular, I was wondering where my CAI and tune would position me against his car...

What is done to his car? Hardtop? Vert?

[jpgraham65]

All I know is its a hardtop with corsa axle backs. No tune, just the z51 package.

[jpgraham65]

It's a manual too

You should have him covered providing traction is there.

[Phuck Phace]

I ran past a vette earlier. dey slow

[Zeek]

I bet the vette wins. I raced a 99frc vette with my stock 13 gt and i only beat him when he had a passenger. Youtube 13 5.0 vs mexico and im the GB stang. Our cars just weigh too much.

[jpgraham65]

Do you think a CAI and tune would've changed that?

You raced Matt, correct?

[46Tbird]

Why all the bench racing? Go race your brother, jeeeez...

[downtime!]

If the Vette is mostly stock, just exhaust and no tune, you should easily have him covered. They seem to like roll racing the most, so if you're car is an M6, take it from about 75 and grab 3rd when the horn honks. Most Vettes won't drag race, I"m assuming the IRS is the weak link in the launch.

75 roll for stock cars? They arent supras! Lol.

A 20-25 is more like it.

[Zeek]

I raced Matt. We went from a 35 and 40 roll till 155 shutdown. He beat me and its 14 years older. And makes 315hp mine makes 385. I would have beat him with a cai and tune but its not a 05 vette. Big difference between a 99 and 05.

[Zeek]

The 05 has around 50 more hp than the 99. If he knows how to drive id still bet on the vette. How much hp are you putting down?

Incorrect. While his FRC may not make LS2/3 power, it's much lighter than any other year of C5/6 Vettes. You got hustled by an old school street racer who can drive. lol.

[Zeek]

I didn't get hustled. I bet any other stock 5.0 wouldn't do any better. I know how to drive.

[downtime!]

75 roll for stock cars? They arent supras! Lol.

A 20-25 is more like it.I've never had one want to slow down past 60. Works out pretty good usually, since I shift mine at 7500. 3rd gear is eye opening in that range on mine.

[Grandpa]

Ohhhh, to be young. :rofl:

Oh I bet, your car is a beast for sure.

[Crash]

i couldnt tell you exactly what model but it was def a 12 and up vette now on my car atm i have full borla attack headers xpipe with air raid intake 93 bama tune 4.10 gears with just my gt premium brembo upgrade pack so suspension ect is all stock drive train stock and i smoked the vette three times on 121 tollway we even looped around 2x to run again but like i said i dont know shit about corvettes so could have been shit car but it was loud and sounded like it had a pair

[Crash]

ofc come to think of it he could have just been a shitty driver i dunno ive never got to put my car on a dyno yet true street has a mile long wait list and im to impatient to check back or i forget to

[jpgraham65]

I should be putting down 390-400 hp at the rear wheels, still have yet to test it though. Where's a good place to race around here (any good dragways?), I'll have to talk my brother into it.

[Zeek]

George Bush works for me lol

[Phuck Phace]

George Bush works for me lol

Yup, GB and the DTW

[Crash]

I dunno gb is cool but my all time road where there is never any cops is i20 out by where I'm from u could open up all the way before eastland county flat surface long and straight I've hit 140 there before I lost my nerve

[Crash]

But since I live in the colony I cruise 121 tollway to go to frisco and Plano so u will find me racing there almost every night

[Zeek]

Im usually up for a race whenever but im still stock :/

[Crash]

nice yeah im down idc about it being legit toe to toe race i just enjoy opening it up and filming it when i can

[Crash]

u can always tell my ride bc i have hid angel eye's with audi led turn signals

[GunsUp]

My roommate has an 01 Z06 making 385 and I have to admit that little rocket ship is quick. Yesterday he took me for a ride and its just a completely different feel that my car. He can drop it into 2nd and punch it wot then brake hard as fuck and turn.

Made me giggle like a school girl

[jpgraham65]

Do you think the 01 ZO1 could beat you in a straight line?

[jpgraham65]

I'd imagine it could being so light in comparison...

[GunsUp]

I think from a 20 roll it would be even til 120-130 then the vette will slowly start to walk. But I usually shut down at those speeds so its a toss up

[unreal]

I have a c6 vette and a 5.0. The vette is much quicker than the 5.0 but the 5.0 is a better daily driver. I would say c5 z06 is slightly quicker than a stock 5.0. Drivers race vs a ls2 vette (unless it is a 2.73 auto, then 5.0 easy win), ls3 will beat out a 5.0, and ls7/ls9 isn't close.

Of course that is what mods are for. Drive and traction also play a huge roll. I've beat tons of "faster" cars in the 5.0 just because it hooks.

[BLK2012GT]

I don't understand why people compare a GT to Chevy so call super car. Should we compare the GT500 vs the vette.

[unreal]

People compare to other cars they see on the road. Yes, stock for stock that is a better match up. At the same time a new 5.0 is going to cost the same as a lightly used vette so it is a decent comparison dollar for dollar.

Yeah if you compare it to a fully loaded GT cause I got mine 2012 GT for 28k out the door. I don't think a slightly used C6 will go for that price.

[STROKD]

Ohhhh, to be young. :rofl:

Steve... Zeek can drive, he's one of those drive it like it's stolen peeps, the drivetrain has already been replaced. I was surprised in all actuallity, because I figured I'd have him covered... BTW he ran my wifes Y2K FRC. When he ran my 99 he had just gotten the car and I left him like his car was broken... Difference a cam and c5zheads/intake makes.

Also, my dad has an automatic 05 z51 and I have experience racing it as well (I'm buying it in a couple months)... If the one at hand is mostly stock it should make around 355-365rw. That's 40-50 more than I had racing Zeek. My dad's 05 weighs 3420 with a 3/4 tank of gas and me in it. I never weighed my wife's car (one that ran Zeek) but my optionless 99 weighed 3250 with me in it and a 1/4 tank. So there is about 100-130 more lbs in a c6 z51 than a light weight FRC. My wife's has crossdrilled brakes and heavier wheels, as well as power seats hud etc. On a guess I'd expect my race weight racing Zeek to be around 3250-3300. I had NO gas in the car as I usually do on the street.

If the c6 driver can drive, on a qtr mile the race will be decided by reaction time and 60 foor (traction). On the freeway the c6 should win by at least a car at 150ish. On a road race track, you are going to get smoked unless you are the Stig and your bro has special needs.

[STROKD]

Yeah if you compare it to a fully loaded GT cause I got mine 2012 GT for 28k out the door. I don't think a slightly used C6 will go for that price.

Depending on market... I got my 08 a year old in 09 for 30,500. Had full exhaust, 2000 dollar nitrous system, cam, cold air etc, and only 16k miles... It made 645rw and ran mid 10s with a terrible bog (wouldn't leave hard, it broke when I tried). Was probably one of the most fun and best cars I've owned, but I sold it to buy my dad's 05 and chase the NA record of 10.1 currently.

Well, I guess when you get your Dad's C6 here, we will have to run them. :D

[unreal]

You are right, they are mid/low 20s depending on mileage for ls2 cars. You can get nice 08-09 LS3 vettes for 28k. Heck you can get z06s for mid 30s now if you will take higher mileage.

My friend here just got a 2006 z51 vette with a d1sc procharger, headers, cam, meth, clutch, rims, tires, exhaust, custom stereo, etc etc for $26k. Makes 720rwhp and in great shape.

my bolt on c6 feels slow.. i guess its because i replaced the Alum motor with a big hunk of heavy iron:(

The little ECU trick.. lol And you told everyone for years the last time it was on the dyno it made 440rw". Which is true, but that wasn't how you raced it.

I'm not saying you LIED, you just have a way of misleading people to hustle them. And that's street racing, thats how it always been. I ain't mad at ya, do your thing. Just know that I'm no fool and been around just as long as you know to know what's up.

I had to do the ECU trick because it was missfiring on 5 cyl and throwing multiple random missfire codes... if i didnt pull the fuse.. it would pull out all of the timing.:)
i did that because it was HURT.. not because it gave it an extra 50 rwhp....

that being said.. it did makre more than 440 rwhp .. :) but well under 500.. MAYBE 470-480 rwhp, but the one time i decided to dyno it at HPP in front of Skip.. the clutch wouldnt hold and it made exactly 440 rwhp lol

I think Sam my tuner might have driven it out there once.. But i dont " hang out " there..

you are thinking most likely of a friend of mine.. Black Rear wide body C6 with some big chromed out 20s on it. That car is a d1 car making 780ish rwhp.

I dont make NEAR 1050 rwhp.. so that HPP car should drag me.. my setup is vey conservativily tuned... i set it up for nice drivabilty not to put down a number.. Steve just likes to talk it up.

Yes, I've very aware of what your car is capable of on kill. But let's be honest here, your last set up was more than enough to handle anyone here let alone the new one. lol.

A Mustang needs to make at least 100-150rw more than the Vette it's racing to overcome the weight difference, gearing and aerodynamic advantage the Vette's have. Without completely spilling the beans here, that is a lot of of power a Mustang needs to make to handle your car and there is no one here that makes that kind of power yet.

[unreal]

If I put 1/2 of what I put into the vette into the mustang it would run 8s.

Mustangs rock. My vette does make 2.5x the power the 5.0 does at the moment. Hopefully I can fix that soon enough.

[STROKD]

I know plenty of fast mustangs..im sure ronnie would drag me..

Im not sure how, he doesnt make that much more power than you on kill and he makes less on his street setup... His car weighs more even though you have the heaviest C6 on the planet, you have a couple hundred lbs less weight to carry than he do.

Dave just down plays his car because he doesnt like to race anymore. If he does it might break and he's tired of it sitting at the shop.:025:

[unreal]

My Ysi is only hitting 11psi because of belt slip which sucks. I really want to see 15-16psi for my street setup. Still makes 905-915 depending on how much the belt slips on a run. Once I swap to a larger crank pulley hoping to pick up 3-4psi and a bit more power.

do you have 8 or 10 rib? Crank pulley will help a lot, as does their sandblasted "renegade" pullies... Getting 20+ psi out of my dad's YSi on his Stang and it isnt even pullied that hard yet. Have a pulley waiting to go on it (if the fuel pump will support it) that should get it up to around 26 psi.

[unreal]

8 rib and direct drive. Currently 2.85" upper and a 7.25" lower. Need to goto a 8.0"/3.15". Elevation also kills boost, and my heads are huge so that lowers boost. They flow 410+cfm and I have a big nasty cam. With stock heads/cam it would be 20+ easy.

an 8 lower with a 3 upper will make a huge smile on your face... should be around 18-20 psi Id think. I was making about 27 psi with that setup on my 408 about 10 years ago.

race car shit...

i have a 4" upper and some street car heads :)

[unreal]

Prochargers have a bigger stepup so a 4.0" PC pulley is like a 3.0" vortech. Your heads are almost the same as mine. Street car stuff :)

I'm always down for some friendly fun. I can bring my c6 out when I get there.I'd be up for that. I'd like to see how my n/a minimal bolt on 5.0 compares to other n/a Vettes.

[unreal]

Sadly my car is far from N/A.

[faztcobra]

Yeah - I didn't read all of the thread before I responded. ha ha. I just run on street tires and probably couldn't but a 12 flat with my traction limited self. But with proper traction, my car has an 11.4 in it, maybe an 11.3. It'd be fun to run other cars with similar capabilities.

[unreal]

Vette went 11.1@129 when it made 1/2 the power it does now the one pass before it broke at axle. That was at 4500ft and 8k+ DA. Should be a bit quicker now.

Juice it. Local 5.0 runs bottom 10s up here with headers/intake/tune/gears and a 175 shot.

Juice it. Local 5.0 runs bottom 10s up here with headers/intake/tune/gears and a 175 shot.I had a NX wet kit back in the day on my 2000 GT. It was fun. I remember when I first got it, I'd spray anything that moved...Honda Civic with a fart can or what ever :rotflmao: This car is really just a fun n/a daily driver. It's faster than 98% of cars out there and there will always be someone with "more". But it is tempting...

there is only ONE problem with nitrous...

my car made 490 rwhp NA.. and 650 on bottle.. after the first few times i ran on bottle, i did a few NA pulls and i thought i broke the car because it felt slow as balls lol. I was seriously mad that the FIRST time i used my nitrous i broke it..

Threw it on the dyno and just as always put down 492 rwhp.. it's like a drug:) and when you are OFF the bottle your shit feels broken...

I thought your car felt really strong NA even with both of us fatties in it. I never got to ride in it again on the bottle, but I bet it was insane. I need a ride with the new set up! :D

with the added weight of the iron block and both of us fatties.. my car doesnt make enough HP to move:) i bet a bolt on civic would drag me:)

I had a 10# bottle back in the day and I think it was like $30 to fill, if that. It wasn't overly expensive, but I've heard it's a lot these days.

yep, thats the same way I felt about mine... Vic would be all "run him on motor", and Id be like "why, shit feels broken and in slow motion on motor"...:Pshyco:

3.75-4 dollars a lb, at least that's what it was last year, I sold my car in June, so prices coulda gone up I guess.

[Real]

Yeah if you compare it to a fully loaded GT cause I got mine 2012 GT for 28k out the door. I don't think a slightly used C6 will go for that price.

I got my 08 3LT full bolt on z51 w/ 29k miles on it for around 32k OTD. I was happy with the price because it's super clean.

Well, finally got down to Austin to visit my brother. We took the 2005 C6 vette (Z51) and my 2012 Brembo GT out on some fantastic twisties. Austin has some great roads. These roads have super tight hairpins with much variation vertically. I was completely impressed with the way my car handled. With my mods (nothing too drastic), I couldn't detect any obvious differences in handling ability between my car and the vette. The 5.0 left me with a grin for the rest of the day. We even got a drag race in at a country stoplight. Dead even up to 80 before we cut it out. With a CAI and tune these cars are every bit as fast as a 2005 vette, at least up to 80.

Awesome. I LOVE taking my Stang out into the countryside for the backroads. It's so much fun.

[jpgraham65]

Do you have any suggestions for good roads around here?

[Grandpa]

I have a whole route that goes from McKinney to Sherman. We will actually be having a GTG soon using this route for our Spring Country Cruise.

[jpgraham65]

I'll be there.

Gosh I guess I'm kind of late to this... I would say that is right on par. A lightly modded 5.0 is right on par with a c5 z06 or ls2. It will take just a few more mods to beat an ls3. My modded 11 5.0 beat my buddy's stock ls2 and lost by a hair to my other buddy's c5 z06. I say it's definitely a driver's race. Once I got the ls3, the friend with the c5z thought he would walk on me, but from 50-120 I had about 4-6 cars on him.

I can't believe there are so many other vette owners on here. I will say I do miss my mustang... the interior is much better, better quality, a lot more comfortable and in my opinion, a much more practical daily driver.

Lowered Vettes ride better than any Lowered Mustang I've been in... Since I slam all my cars, I guess that changes the comfort advantage the Mustang has... I think Corvettes ride better than any sports car I've driven yet.
