Do I stand a chance in hell? This guy I work with who doesn't even understand the term "mod" keeps tellin me I bought "a poor mans corvette". I have seriously had about enough. Only work done(yet, hehehe) is a CAI intake and a muffler delete.(Oh, LS3 also). His is a base model 2007 Vette, with a manual tranny. If I accept his challenge, Am I just embarrassing myself? Don't get me wrong, I respect the machine, just not the ass who drives it.

I think the base LS3 auto vette is running low 12's stock. But with a 400hp+ manual vs a 400hp+ manual a lot of it comes down to the drivers skill but if you both get clean runs he will be the victor.

I always felt better out driving my co-workers who had potentially quicker cars back when I use to drag race my modifyed 4wd diesel pickup. Anybody can throw down big bucks on a fast car but not everybody is capable of driving their new faster better car to its abilities on the 1/4 mile.

Black5thgen · 08-14-2011, 08:28 PM

I think the OP meant his car is an LS3, 07 Vette is an LS2. I can tell you from experience that an LS3 SS is faster than an auto LS2 Vette stock for stock. Manual would be extremely close I would imagine. Your mods may give you a slight upper hand. Comes down to the driver.

vinman · 08-14-2011, 08:31 PM

The vette is about 600lbs less I think....

REEFBLUE93 · 08-14-2011, 09:50 PM

You have to drive near perfect, he has a little more room for error. No way would I see you getting just flat out walked by this guy unless he has mods he's not mentioning.

Lol this tosser is driving a "base" model Corvette and he is saying your driving a poor mans Corvette.

ZuluKilla8 · 08-14-2011, 11:51 PM

nothing can beat an SS, you got him

REEFBLUE93 · 08-15-2011, 07:01 AM

As long as the the OP isn't as bad of a driver as the Camaro guy in the second video...

There could've been mods on the Vette too, I don't think it said.
Those were all good races, I didn't see the Vette pull away hard till the Camaro guy got out of it. The Vette by half to 3/4 each race, that's about what you'd expect.

MatchbookSS · 08-15-2011, 01:09 PM

Wow. The vette drivers in those videos can't drive...

Anyways, in my opinion, stock for stock, an LS2 C6 will win, driver's being equal. I traded a 2007 M6 Z51 in for my SS. It was definitely faster. If it loses to a stock SS...well, it because the driver sucked.

Isn't a stock LS2 Vette a 13.0 sec car?

Mid-high 12's...not much faster, but it should be faster than the SS in almost every instance, stock for stock.

I know that some of the rags out there had the LS2 as a 13.0 flat car...but it's faster than that. Plenty of slips out there to prove that claim. And my highly calibrated butt dyno agrees. The same rags call the SS a 13.0 flat car as well. We all know how much that that time varies. Hell, I'm a prime example of that one.

Zachary Hendrix · 08-15-2011, 02:29 PM

Let me come down there and tell that ass he bought "a poor mans corvette" I hate people like that (not bragging just saying he's a douche and the only way to fix a douche is to out-douche them.

BLACK10 · 08-15-2011, 02:46 PM

Put some spray on your car and dont tell

Ah, okay. I figured it would be a fairly close race, I've never driven either car being discussed so it was speculation. OP might have to break open the check book for mods.
