Hangin with a C6
Guys i have one stupid friend who thinks he can throw a LS2 into his ecsb 02 chevy and hang with the C6's 
i proptly told him he was a freakin idiot but it got me kinda thinkin......
what would it take to hang with a C6? what does a stock C6 run quarter mile? i am gonna say some kind of Fi but didnt know if anyone had any personal experience (that aint bs) hangin with a C6 and what setup they have
i am guessing from what ive read that it would be almost impossible to keep up with one from a rolling start (say 40 or 50mph) so i suppose it would have to be handled off the line? massive amounts of torque? just thinkin out loud....

I've run one at our local 1/8 th mi track and you'd be surprised how close it was.
Just installed a new 9" converter, can't wait for a rematch will let you know.

i had a LQ9 with 243 heads which is the same as a LS2 basically. i had a torquer 2 cam auto with 410s. and ran a c6 a few times on the way back from the track. lets just say the vette owner was impress and upset that he lost to a truck. after the 3rd time he waved i waved and off we went. so yes its very possible up to a certain mph once you hit about 115 or so the vette has a better chance

436hp,428Tq with optional exhaust.
And a leather dash option with whatever package.(forget what its called.)
