a z06 is a whole different ball game

They are such amazing machines. The LS motors with bolt ons pick up stupid power....They have some crazy power N/A

[QUOTE=xredjar,Oct 8 2010, 09:41 AM] You'd be giving up roughly 3lb/hp to the vette.

My s2k has

with out the header, HFC and pullies I put down 209/141 to the wheels.

so let me get this straight... with just an intake and catback you put down 209 to the wheels on your earlier model ap1.... doesnt sound right at all... earlier model ap1's dyno around + - 190 stock... you didnt gain almost 20 whp from an intake and catback

I don't see why not. My AP1 put down 202whp and 136wtq bone stock. So I guess with an intake and good exhaust, its possible. But we all know the "all dyno's are different" speach. I want to know how he got the car down to 2500 lbs?

May I also add it's got 126,000 miles on it? I'll post a dyno sheet when I get home.

Only mods were t1r 70mm single and aem v2 intake

Not exactly. C4's were kinda slow for Corvette standards, unless your buddy's is the ZR1. Here are the specs straight from corvetteguys.com

5.7L V-8 LT1300 HP @ 5000 RPM
330lb-ft @ 4000 RPM 0-60 5.1 sec 15.1 sec @ 95mph

5.7L V-8 LT5405 HP@5800 RPM
385lb-ft@5600 0-60 4.9sec 13.4sec
your LT1 info is wrong. It should be high 13's at 100+mpg....not 15.1. 15.1 would be the POS TPI motor from the early early 90's, late 80's when nothing was fast. 96 manual vettes run almost stock to stock with LS1's as they have Lt4's.

For a stock lt1 vette? I think we need some independent verification, ie, info from someone other than the guy who has lt1 in his name

Those were some quick calculations based on numbers given in the OP's first post, and from 1999 C5 Vette specs I could quickly find online.

If I'm wrong, enlighten me, but put some numbers up to show what I got wrong.

However, if you think a S2000 with bolt-ons is going to walk away from a vette in a straight line.....not going to happen.

The S2000 is a great car, and I love mine.....but there are faster cars out there.
I was talking about your friends 95 vette which is an lt engine, not an ls, 300 crank HP from a 15 yr old engine? Id bet money its down a lot from the original manufacturers specs.

The 99 would probably beat an s unless the driver of the vette sucked more than vanessa del rio.

The closest race I've had yet was with a c5z06, intake exhaust tune, weighed in at 3100 lbs at the track w driver, I barely beat him. so yea, the newer ls1s are fast, and good condition, maintained lt1s can be fast, but chances are if someone drives a 95 vette, they are spending most of their time looking for meth, not maintaining their car.
