This forum will tolerate none of this logical thought and reasoning, sir.

Can't wait to some shops start tuning and dynoing these cars...

I'm curious as well, a few people have said they don't expect huge gains like in the past due to Chevy getting the tune "closer to right on" this time around. |

Seems like everything pisses Vette guys off lately.
A Mustang (GT350TP) that handles as well as a Z51 Stingray? Butthurt Camaro getting the same power ratings as a C7 for $20k less (1SS M6)...butthurt I can't tell if Corvette owners are just insecure or really that easily excitable. |

I'm not expecting big gains either, but getting rid of some nannies and adjusting throttle sensitivity, and if you have an auto changing shift points and firmness can really improve things... |

Vette guys seem to be a very 'holier than thou' bunch. Most speak very down to other GM performance cars. Again this is just a generalization and some could be made for Camaro guys as well. I think it made them angry when they didn't de tune the LT1 in the SS. Now it's going to be worse to see that it's put ting down more power.

The vocal minority on forums like these usually don't represent the majority. I'm with Number 3 in this. As much as I'd like it to be a "thing". All this shows is that particular Camaro has slightly higher output than that particular Corvette, discounting the inherent inaccuracy of the given measurements. I figured I wouldn't be the first guy with some stats background to bring it up. Cool experiment though, props to JDP.

If the Camaro LT1 has try-Y headers, and the Corvette still uses the same old design, then I have to somewhat disagree with the few here who act as if this test wasn't worth doing. I think it was.
The headers are likely adding a small amount of power and tq. So there's that. But no only that....the people asked for it. This wasn't just some useless exercise JDP put together for Camaro owners to pound our chests over...it was a comparison that hadn't be done before, directly, on the same day and same dyno, and put some speculation to bed. So while we SHOULD expect similar outputs, its also important not to simply discount this as a "Duh...what did you expect?" experiment as well.

There are some great people and info on the corvetteforum though, same as here. But it does NOT matter what car, club, forum it is... You still have the same trolling, same "I KNOW EVERRRRRRYYYYTHINNNNNG", same "EITHER GET X PART OR JUST SELL YOUR CAR/DON'T BUY IT" people. Comes with the "territory". I did love the new Tri-Y Headers when GM released the info months ago. I knew I did not "need" to go with headers from that day. One of the major reasons why I got the 2SS and goodies so I don't have to go with aftermarket. No matter how great aftermarket will be, it will NEVER beat a manufacturer, simply because a manufacturer has MILLIONS of dollars invested in R&D and at least 10 times the engineers with facilities at hand vs aftermarket. I do love the aftermarket though, without them... Manufacturers would never push themselves to be better! Why I will always support aftermarket . |

So it seems that GM is underrating the LT1 , which is putting out nearly 500 HP (15% rule of thumb drivetrain loss)? That explains the ridiculous quarter mile reduction and increase in trap sped over the gen 5 430 HP SS. 500 HP...WOW!
