Default ME vs LS2 (C6)

i just got my blower installed and my buddy has a 2005 C6 vette, vert, automatic with 3.50 gearing. We are going to hopefully have a little fun next weekend from a dig and roll.

I think it will be a good race any thoughts?

if you're pushing 390/370 to the wheels I think you have him as long as you get a good launch on those 4.10's

You should get him... around same weight... and you're running his bhp to your rw... with better gearing.. should be good to go.

Don't run him over 120 and you've got this.

A convertable GT with the added weight of a blower is the same weight as a C6?...Don't think so xxkaz...I do agree he will edge him out since the A4 equipped C6's are the slowest......


OP- I have never heard of Corvette owners getting gear swaps as their first mods....Is that a typo? A 3.50 gear ratio is not remotely close to what stock auto's come with......It will be closer than you think if he does have 3.50's which by the way is a gear ratio I'm not even familiar with...

well, he did get the ls's wrong, maybe he got gear #'s mixed up???

Either way, I dont have enough knowledge to state an opinion, but I can say congrats on the new 'charger and good luck.

GT vert.. 3379
05' Vette.. 3179

Like I said.. pretty close... 200 lbs isn't thatmuch.
