The mustang vs corvette banter will never die.

Sounds about right, guys on here making roughly that much horse power over a stock zo6 are running very similar times to the zo6 in the vid.

There sure seem to be a lot of C5 and C6 cars represented here in stock Mustang territory: http://www.dragtimes.com/Chevrolet--...?resultpage=15

lol. My dad's STOCK LS2 C6 runs 12.5s... it makes 350 rw. A Ls3 car should make 385-400 stock, which should lay down a high 11 to low 12. I know 2 local stock auto LS3 cars that ran 12 flats at almost 120, on STOCK Runflats... And neither of them were Stigs...

I finally found the video, no timeslip though. And I lied I had exhaust (not that it made a difference). Anyway, here it is... auto 5.0 with exhaust on stock tires vs. stock C6 with 18" drag radials.

**Junkie** · 06-07-2013, 02:24 PM

Man I just disagree.

No offense of course, but Me in my BONE STOCK C5 Z was dead locked with Greg in his 5.0. He is a great driver and I'm not horrible at it, both of us were dead on and dead even that night.

an LS3 car stock to stock will put 2-4 cars on me easily. So the stock 5.0 vs stock LS3 car being a "drivers race" just doesn't make sense to me. Unless there is a pro in the 5.0 and a handicapped grandmother in the Vette.

Maybe the guy just didn't know how to drive, but I recently ran against a C6 in my 13 5.0. I've got 3" catback, steeda 101mm monster intake and a custome BAMA tune on 93 octane, we ran from 60 punch and I took him then several times from 30 punch. first pull from 30 he took me at gear shift since my ESC shut me down. but after I turned that off I had him by half a car for every other pull. Really think just a few bolt ons evened the competition??

I ran a C6 not sure of year and put a car or two on him. How can you distinguish between a ls3 and a pre 08 vettte? Different body moulding? Headlghts?

There are no body differences at all. The only differences would be in the wheels which you wouldn't be able to tell while driving. All body panels are the same for the entire generation run, just like the C5. Only differences are model differences, which even then don't change at all from year to year i.e. ZR1, ZO6, GS, narrowbody.

Thanks. I didnt know if there were subtle differences like some companies do. What about the lil chrome accent badge on the front fender?

On earlier generations they had small changes within the same generation, like with C1s, C2s and C3s. Now they run the exact same body through the entire generation. Only changes are for model differences. Badging on the fenders just labels different models such as "ZR1", "ZO6", "Grand Sport" or "427" I believe for the convertible 427 car they released.

I raced a Camaro once, said G2 on the front fenders so you know it was fast. Performance by Giggliotti bitches!
