I don't think that at all, I've driven both cars and they feel like two different animals so it's hard to tell. Well know later today for sure though

Um from a 20 roll that vette will pull even stock, don't under estimate a 3200lb vette vs a 3900lb plus 5th gen with bolt ons and gears. I put my money on the vette

Corvette grand sport= 3311 pounds
camaro ss = 3860
so there is a 549 pound difference I need to overcome among other obvious things..
I'm hoping all my suspension I installed helps me out a bit

My buddies GS weighs 3211 with a auto trans with Drag Radials it's been 11.90s

That's 649lbs so you'd need 70rwhp to keep up, suspension won't do anything.

Well I just looked in "my buddies" door, and that's what it says.. so idk what to tell ya.. And you honestly don't think having stiffer springs, toe and trailing arms will do anything for a launch.. your sadly mistaken then sir
and you bring hp into play, what about tq..?

And nobody is running drag radials here..

Put that car in a scale it will NOT weigh what the door says lol
No suspension won't do ANYTHING you won't go faster I run 10s with the stock suspension and the fastest NA 5th gen runs the stock suspension also why because anything else won't help the car. What does your car run in the 1/4?

Do you have photos of said corvette on the scale showing these numbers? Or any kind of proof?
and I have no clue what I run in the 1/4 yet, haven't had a Saturday off at the shop sense I bought it about 6 months ago that lined up with a test and tune day unfortunately
I guess after doing all that suspension work it's just all in my head and I pissed away all that money..?

My trailing arms helped a lot with my wheel hop. I have a manual though.

I don't have pics or photos but I can make a video say the date etc... And post it
We should he the track in 2 weeks weather here in Dallas is crazy. I'm not saying you pissed it away your car will handle better in corners now I'm sure but I've done this and I learned what works and what doesn't. Judging by your mods I wanna say your in the 12.80s on the stock wheels and tires
