EZRIDN Vs. C5
Crusing last night in the LS1 and i rolled up to a light on the same 3 lane road that i ran the '96 GT on the other night. This road is awesome, just ask sedanman. I see this red C5 (one i have seen at my church) a couple cars ahead of me. Anyways, light changes and i get beside this C5 that is an M6, sounded mean, has racing strips, Roll Bar, Factory crome wheels, an NX sticker on the hatch window, and a couple A pillar gauages. I'm thinking, EZRIDN is about to get killed..ha ha.
We exchange glances and smiles and he knows whats up He is a half car behind me and i hear him downshift (M6), and i kicked it when i heard him nail it at around 60. He started to pull instantly. I let off at around 105 when he did and he was about 2.5-3 cars ahead and pulling hard. I slowed down and gave him a thumbs up, and we both waved and headed our own ways.

hell yeah, i would put the gears in too. there was a LT1 z28 at the track last saturday w/ pullies, control arms, slicks, cold air, and 3.42 gears going 12.8's on motor and 11.6 on a 150 shot. he was pulling the front tires off the ground in 1st and 2nd gear. you got a LS1! you should be even quicker with the same light mods he had.

The C5 Corvette has a more aerodynamic design and weighs a couple hundred pounds less.

What are the curb wts. and coefficient of drag. I'm really only curious. I wouldn't have thought that the C-5 was really significantly more areodynamic.
Where the heck is Aquaman when we need him, hee, hee? Rev

The vette has a C/D of .29 and the LS1 camaro has .31 the LT1 camaro had .33 due mainly to it's headlamp's the old ones caught alot of air. The Vette's usually weigh in at 3220 (mines 3189) But the FRC Vette's weigh 3180 or less and most of the LS1 F bods are 3450 or so depending on options. The T-Tops add about 30 pounds and the A4 adds about 10. I have seen alot of F bods run as good at the track as Vette's but after 100 or so the Vette usually has the advantage and will walk away pretty steadily.hope that helps

Why are the vettes rated with more hp then if they have the same motor? Just chevy under rating the camaros to sell more vettes?
EZRIDN: I gotta agree with the majority get the gears!(and a converter!) |

Yeah that's pretty much what I figured. I did notice the straight shot to the intake... there is a vette running around here that has his liscence plate where it swings up and the cai is behind that, pretty cool.

3200lbs for a vette? Really? Is it stripped down? I've heard they're more like 3500lbs stock.

mysweetlx,
I would say 3200 pounds sounds about right. Bob

Whitet78supra, That's a serious mod list you have there on that Supra. WHat kind of track times are you running? Have you dynoed it or have any estimate on power? I have always liked the twin turbo Supras.

Yeah man that supra sounds sweet. Are the 93's the new body style or the old one? We have an older model single turbo in auto shop that we were gonna fix up and race it but the project kinda died because i guess it had more problems that we thought since we got it free after it had been wrecked. The new body styles are better anyways
Later, Nick

93 is the year they changed the body and added another turbo. I used to have a 90 Supra Turbo, but I had so many problems with it I got rid of it. What was wrong with your project Supra?

If you go with gears & slicks you had better go with a Ford rear end. Late model camaro's bust the factory rear ends like rubber bands around here. jus my 2 cents.
