What are used LS3 Vette's going for these days? Very nice car, LS3's sound amazing, best sounding LS for sure.
Good work. IMHO, life is too short to be brand loyal. Explore all types of cars. Love horsepower and amazing machinery no matter what brand it is.
Nice Downgrade
When I autocross I see a bunch of Vettes and one thing always stick out in my head is that out of the quad tips two are always darker then the other two(one on each side). I am not sure if it's because of the exhaust having a valve, if it is then it seems like a retarded design which always has two of the tips sootier then the other two, also is there a reason for the valve besides noise?
all corvette manual are 3.42 the auto have 2,56 standard and option 2.73 for the auto early had 3.15. they change that to 2.73 with the a6.What is the axle ratio?
My Dad and I test drove a 2008 A6 and a 2008 M6.
The auto had a 2.56:1 and the manual had a 3.55:1.
Congrats! Z06's can be had for great deals. Too bad you didn't upgrade that route.
I think it shifts great! This thing moves the hell out completely stock, and the automatic definitely doesn't seem to hold it back at all... I don't have much seat time and experience with using the paddle shifters, but in 2008 Chevy improved the shift timing/crispness when using them. I can't see anyone out-shifting it in a manual car.......If you look at a 2005-2007 C6 model, you can find them for about $3-5k cheaper than the 2008+ cars. Make sure you read all the differences though...LS2 vs LS3 is one main difference.
Congrats..it is good you got what u wanted but meh....boss wouldn't been better than a auto dime a dozen vette IMO
Lol OK....
It may just be me, but I would rather have an LS3 Vette over the Z06. I think the LS3's sound a lot better, and also don't have the issues that the LS7's had. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Z06 but for the extra money you'd spend on the Z, you could mod the LS3.
