2006 C6 base ls2 auto vette no mods vs 2013 cammed ls3 ss
Hey fellas quick question here. I just picked up a 2006 Corvette base ls2 auto with 145k miles on it for a quick flip. Car seems kinda quick for what it is and pulls decently on top end. I ran it against my 2011 stock ctsv wagon and raped it pretty bad with my buddy driving it. I did not even bother bringing out my C6Z lol.
Question is this? With the oilfeild kind of slowing down just a bit I'm contemplating selling my Z and V wagon but can't decide to keep the new (used ) vette or my cammed ss with full bolt on's. My ss is in south Texas now (at another company yard) so I can't exactly pull it next to the C6 to run em but which do you think is faster and which should I. (Would you) keep? All my cars are paid for except my F250 and I'm aiming to have one fun car paid for, keep my truck, and buy a house so I can get out of the oilfeild altogether. My ss btw dyno'd 478 rwhp has a big cam, headers, cold air intake, and exhaust with a damn good tune. I will post up a video of the run in mexico when I get around to picking my ss back up. In the meantime just lmk thanks. |

I thought the ls2 vette and the fifth gen Camaro was a drivers race? I would expect your cammed bolt on Camaro to be on par with a stock z06?

My bad, the V wagon destroyed the C6 as I was not clear. The C6 has zero mods whatsoever and 145k miles. Son of a *itch runs like a scalded ape!

See I'm with you that its a drivers race but I have yet had a chance to run my ss against a C6Z. Driving both they feel very similar power wise (as and z) with a slight advantage to the ss. Idk but with some of the big oil drilling companies having a hiring freeze and talk of lay offs I'm thinking ahead of the game. So long I keep my F250 and ss or this C6 base I'm good. Just a bit nervous really.

Ls2 vette and 5th gen SS is not a drivers race when stock. I consider drivers race within .1-.2 tenths and 1-2mph in the 1\4. Yes i understand that many have beaten a ls2 Vette but that doesnt mean you had the faster car.
The Vette should be faster with same mods if the other parts are still in good condition. Even saying that I would probably hang onto the 5th gen if it is in better condition with a lot less miles. From a performance only standpoint you have a lot more potential with the Vette but it will take some extra money to get there. Just seems like a lot of wasted money considering the mods already done to the 5th gen.

I also have my 2012 evo which I'm going to more than likely sell as well BC I can add the extra toward the house plus more money for mods. |

Only you can truly answer this & it will be abundantly clear when/if you write the for sale ads for all the cars you mentioned. You will feel the one you want to keep & probably price it 10 grand above market value.

Ok so I drove it today and really put my foot in it. It is not as fast as the ss but definitely has more potential to be kick ass! I happened to make my way to mexico earlier and ran a 15 5.0. It was from a 50 roll to 130 and i got the victory although it was honestly very close. Here is a pic of her or 2.
