I'm so sick of the missinformation on this site. The ss/sc doesn't have axle issues. It's called DRIVER ABUSE and WHEEL HOP from people not knowing how to ******* drive. I've already heard of ss/tc owners wheel hopping at the drag strip, so I'm sure that next year when more ss/tc's start hitting the track, we'll here about them snapping axles too. I've had tons of 5Krpms launches on slicks on my car and not one issue. So it's not the car, it's the mother ******* driver.

The same holds true for those who act like the GM 10-bolt shreds gears with stock power and when modded damn look out.
Anti Venoms GT ran 550whp through a stock T-45 with a upgraded input and finally took a **** with 700whp. It was rated to hold about 1/3 of that to start with.

1) Witout weight reduction your car didn't weigh 3625 with a 1/4 tank.
2) If the C6 weighed 3325 it must have been a 3LT with a full tank and golf clubs.
3) LT's and Tune will not give you enough power to trap 115mph even @ 3625lbs.
Stop filling people full of ****.

You do realize the more stories you tell the stupider you look, right?

Sorry for whatever oddball preset notions you have but thats what the scale read for both the cars. It was actually a Z51 C6 too.

Like I said your full of **** and a stock C6 would still walk you.
My car is a 1LT, Z51 & M6 and is just under 3200lbs the Z06 is a few pounds lighter than mine. The 2LT and 3LT trim options weigh 100-120lbs more than a 1LT depending transmission choice.

Well since the ZR1 is the heaviest C6 maybe you should do a little math. Also the trim level has much more to do with curb weight than being a Z51 or not on a C6.

Thats because 50hp isn't going to make your boat keep up with a C6 fool.
Like I said you are full of **** and the only place you pull this **** is on forums where some look up to the GTO. The gap between GTO and C6 is much more than 50hp will fill period. You basically have a stock 03/04 Cobra and I walk away from those especially after the 1/4.

I know I have dealt with this bullshitter on many forums, funny thing is he never makes these claims on GTO or LS2 forums because he knows they will laugh at him.
I think maybe he should take some time and read up on what times cammed GTO's run because then he will see how stupid he really looks. My stock C6 would run circles around a LT and Tune only GTO. I just get a good laugh that he thinks 50whp in a GTO makes over a second and 6mph difference in the 1/4.

Ask any of the 3 or 4 people on this forum who've come across me
And as for the GTO forum comment. I'm on the list man, there were about 10 people from LS2gto.com out there to watch me hit 12.5 @ 112 with JUST dr's and a catback. Now add 40whp to that! ahhaha

If you're talking about heads/cam on a TBSS then I would assume around 450-460whp depending on the setup and probably a good race from a dig. I'm not sure about the highway, took my buddies a lil over 500whp to get me from a roll.

I used to frequent NJ for GTO shows. However I've since stopped going because it seems like 75% of the people are retards. Just look on streetfire for all the ******* videos of people burning out, losing control, and crashing into oncoming traffic leaving the show.
You have heads/cam on a what?
