I've had both, and honestly my V6 was not comparable to what my LS3 is. Big difference!

in 1/4 mile drag talk. 2 seconds is a HUGE difference. hell, 1 second is pretty big. 2 seconds, you are talking multiple bus lengths. it can feel like 20seconds. lol trust me, i've raced my v6 stock vs stock SS plenty of times.

Stop looking at your average MPG and instead look at your dyno sheets and be happy.

+1. My ls3 is way faster than my previous llt. There is a video on YouTube that shows a ss vs a v6 but I won't post it because it is street racing. Just search and you can see the difference between the two

Neither Ruby nor her driver stay behind anybody. I have been competing against & beating guys at different things all my life.

If (when) they finally release a TTV6, things should get more interesting.

Here's a LS3 vs. turbo I6
