Anybody go over to LS1Tech.com??? http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=410098&page=3
I already got told by a guy called 2.73 vette(last page), check it out it rather funny I think. He’s all into the numbers but I don’t care the vette got his ass handed to him 3 times in a row and that’s what I look at not all the equations.
Anyone agree or am I being stupid, like the saying goes "the proof is in the pudding"

I dont know where he is getting the idea that 40 hp = .10 et for a GTO. I wish that were true.

Yep, for sure. I dont give a rats ass about all his mathmatics, no two cars will be the same power wise, and maybe that vette was a worn out pos, but I still think even a newer C5 would get beat by a 05 GTO IMO.

 

[Guest]

it will, as long as its not a LS6.

 

[djray77]

Thats a Z06 right? Yeah a zo6 would spank it for sure but how bad you think?? maybe 1 car length?? or worse?

 

[Guest]

a Z06 has the LS6 with 405hp and would WORK a GTO without even trying. They are 12.3 cars stock. So more like 10-12 car lengths.

 

[djray77]

damn that is bad lol!!

 

[Guest]

your talking a 3100lb car with 405 going against a 3900lb car with 400. And thats WITHOUT the driver !!!

Guys when will this debate ever end? An '05 Z06 will walk an '05 GTO. Exactly right the weight difference on both cars gives too much advantage to the Vette. I also believe, that is not the intention of GM to have another car in its stable surpass the 'Vette. Can we put this to rest? We never thought or expected the Camaros and T/As were meant to compete with or surpass the Vettes in the LS1 Days, why so now with GTO? Beats me!

 

[Guest]

my guess is most dont understand the penalty of weight. It is a HUGE factor. For example, try running 300 feet, its pretty easy right? Now do it with a 300lb guy on your back. Sure you can do it but a WHOOOOOOOOOOOLE lot slower !!!

Understand?

 

[djray77]

Theres no debating here about a gto vs z06 I was just asking a question.

 

[Guest]

and it was kindly and generously answered. right?

 

[djray77]

exactly right

whew!
