Mach 1 vs Corvette
 

Just wondering which Corvettes I could hang with and which ones would smoke me (stock Mach 1, and talking about stock Vettes). I have a good respect for them as I know atleast the new ones anyway are very fast. Always admired the Vettes. Just dont know much about them :bash:

Any of the Z06s would smoke you. Any ZR1 would smoke you if it wasnt the crappy ones. The 05+ vettes would smoke you. You have a chance against the c5s and older models.

I pretty much new that haha.

So what one is the 400hp? Or is that just 05+?

Anyone have a list of what hp each model was for every year?

c5 z06 is 405 hp
c6 regular corvette is 405hp
c6 z06 is 505 hp

dunno about other ones off the top of my head

What's the quarter mile and 0-60 on a regular c6? I know it's faster than my Mach, but aren't they actually fairly slow like 0-30 or something because they are geared high? I know in the Z06 1st gear does atleast 60

Not sure if this has the 1/4 mile time, but here are some c6 facts http://www.corvettemuseum.com/specs/2005/specs.shtml

I think stock c5 vette's run in the low 13's, which if your a good driver you can pull a 13.1-13.3 in your stock mach.....so with a few mods you can whip a stock c5. Now if they start modding look out!

How?!? They have more hp and are lighter/aerodynamic, why are they so slow?

Yeah, but the way the vette's are designed, geared and all of that doesn't make them that great of a drag car......the aerodynamics of the vette don't really help them until high speeds. Also, they weigh like 3,100-3,200lbs, which is pretty light compared to our 3,400-3,500lbs. I went on a couple of vette forums to check out what stock times the c5's were running and it was low 13's with a couple of high 12's....which you can do also with some DR's and good driving.

I'll bet if you were to race a c5 vette (stock vs stock) from a stop it would be a driver race all the way until 80-90mph and then you'll see his rear lights.

My friend has a 97 c5 with just intake and catback and he can take my friend's 04 cobra and he has intake catback and mgw short throw..so good luck beating a stock c5..some say it's a factory freak idk.

this is also from like 40 rolls..not going to a drag strip and doing the 1/4 mile..dunno maybe you would have a chance from a dead stop. until about 100+ and then your done for.

A bolt on C5 would NEVER be able to hang with even a bone stock 03/04 cobra......:icon_bs: Theres a reason why its called the Terminator.......

As for Mach 1 vs a C5........I say its a damn close race. Mach 1s have great acceleration out of the hole and you can definately beat him there. LS1 motors are a little overrated while stock. I think the Mach 1 could take it if he can drive.

From a Dig: Mach 1 > C5 From a roll: Mach 1 < C5

All you need is a little bit of spray. Throw on a good 50 shot and youll never see the rearend of that C5......... Even better you can run a 100 shot and go play with bolt on 03 cobras.

well I will get the video's for you for proof.. because it does.

and here is the video:

http://video.ls1tech.com/player.asp...BD-6F386D093D70

I know he was a pretty ****ty shifter back then before he got his Short throw..but the c5 beat more than just the driver..

Linky No worky...

haven't seen the video but lets remember that cobra can burn tread in 3rd gear... My friends 450 rwhp Fox body kept spinnin his tires against a 96 prelude and the prelude kept hangin with him...so can def. be a factor...

kid cant drive... cobra should come out on top...

but corvettes are fast...

You could be any iron blocked 350 vette... er lt1 vette

Its 57 before it bounces of rev limiter on the c5 z06. I dropped in first from a 30 mph roll in 3rd once and almost got it sideways. man was that fun. Car only had 300 miles too. haha

it's a 04 c5 dunno why i put 97 since I see the car all the time and know whats been done to it lol. but it's a 2004

here is the thread..the link to the video is in his post. http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=370622

Im sure that I could find at least 5-10 videos of Terminators beating up on LS1s............:poke:

gimme any ls1, ill play...hehehe

a corvette is a monster of a car... its also a $43,690 - $64,890 car

mach1 is a $29,290 car...

take a mach1 and drop the difference of $$$ in and ya'll destroy any corvette...

well he was talking about stock vette's and I'm just showing him 2 cars with exact same mods..I see the cobra barely hanging probally could of won until top speed if he was a better driver at the time..and then looking at a mach 1 with catback/intake like the cobra/c5 vette and I don't see it winning..don't gimme this "1 out of 10" bs I know most of the time cobra's spank on vette's unless there z06's I'm just saying I don't see a mach 1 beating that vette right there..

03 cobra > C5 Vette

no doubt I would take a 03-04 cobra over a c5 vette..but I would have to take a z06 over both =).

You don't say. I could buy a $2k crx honda and put $10 grand in it and smoke a mach1 whats your point?:confused:...

c5 z06 > 03/04 cobra

eh... whatever... i meant new MSRP prices...

who cares mustang > all... so that ****er might be faster but yer the better man cause you're in a mustang YEEHAW!

Yer...right.:rolleyes:

I think it's been said before, but stock for stock 1/4 the Mach 1 will hang with the vette. I looked on a few c5 vette forums and the typical stock 1/4 time was around 13.1-13.3 with a few high 12's so that's about what a the Mach 1 run with a good driver and should be able to break into the high 12's with some DR's and with a few mods and DR's your looking at some pretty damn good times.
