I haven’t looked at American V8 performance in quite a while, and assumed torque was worse than a direct injection turbo motor. Looks like the Stage 4 wins down low, but not up top. Nice work, Chevy!
So, I guess I was just getting on the gas harder & quicker, and myself in a GS would smoke myself in a heavily mod’ed M2.
Altho, I’m running BM3 now, which is putting out 460hp/485ft-lbs on the BMW Sport Dials, so that’d be a more even match.  And, the M2C guys running just BM3 Stage 1 are close to 500hp, but we can only get 295/305 max rubber in the back, so we’re more traction limited than the Vette.
No doubt the GS is track car to have! Altho, I can either throw wife/kid/dog or track tires in the car, so there’s that.
PS. We’re severely off topic! Hah. |
I mean.. owning a Vette means you are part of the Vette image.. and that's not a good thing... has always been the one thing stopping me from buying one. Great driving cars, but just can't bring myself to be seen driving one on the streets
