C5 ZO6 vs LS1 SS

[SSmoked99]

SS: H/C/I (430ish)
ZO6: H/C (463rwhp)

Met up with BayAreaSS tonight for some fun runs. My friend with the ZO6 wanted to see how his car compared to his SS. Pretty good run with BayAreaSS's car pulling HARD in 4th taking the win. Good runs Marlon!

[big reg]

I have seen several vids of his car. It runs hard for sure. Good run OP

 

[AWDLS2]

Basically what I figured would happen when I heard it was gonna go down, nice run

 

[Mystic-SVT]

What gears are in the SS?

 

[Chosyn1]

sounded like a good run atleast..

 

[MTBSully]

How?

 

[BayareaSS]

Wanna explain that outcome to us? Lol

^^+1....ha

Pretty simple... C5 had a great reaction time and had a 1/2-3/4 car lead in 2nd and 3rd gear. When I shifted to 4th I started pulling pretty hard and you see me come into view as I'm pulling in front

Thank You

What gears are in the SS?

4.10s


That was fun and a great run. Felt good to actually drive/race my car for once. I'll see how the vid from my car came out tonight

Nice run. Camaro pulled away hard.

Good run! I have always had a soft spot for those SS's. I think the question here is this....How does a 300-400lb heavier SS with less RWHP pull away that hard on the top end? That's what they want explained. Driver? Gears? Clutch slipping? make more power than he says? Or weight reduction? Fat passenger in the Z06 lol?

That SS was in it to win it...heard a rev limit lol

Maybe the gears is what did it. I was the passenger in the ZO6 and I weigh 170lbs. If you look at all the vids of BayareaSS's car, you could tell it runs hard.

HA yup! It was a good run for sure.

I'm going to assume SS might have some weight reduction and those 4.10s really help get it up there. In the video you clearly hear the SS hit the rev limiter while the vette still had quite a bit of gear left in it.

Great run marlon! Yea ss has weight reductions. And I know first hand how hard that ss pulls.. it's the strongest ls1 I've seen

 

[AWDLS2]

It just runs hard for the mods was door to door with my old stock c6z06 50-125

You know what I mean. What does the ss weigh? You are down 30rwhp (not sure how yours or his looks under the curve) and had a good run on him in 4th. Just a little odd and clearly you can see I wasn't the only one that thought so. Not a big deal.

thats the 4:10s at work, good run

Both cars were driven good and no mechanical problems. My car has weight reduction. Its nothing crazy and I haven't weighed it. This car has been high 10s at mid 120s on motor so that should help put things into perspective

Yea you know all about it lol. Thanks epper:

True statement

These cars are tuned by different tuners and on a different dyno so comparing the numbers is useless. It has weight out of it but 3-4 of the guys in this thread have seen/been in the car so they know its not some gutted tin can. I would guess its missing about 150lbs.

thats the 4:10s at work, good run

That's what I think helped a lot as well. Gearing was important in this race
