C6 vette vs 5.0

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.

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.
