    That's actually a really neat comparison. I have heard these new auto's are better than before with drivetrain loss. Wonder how close in weight the two are. c6 vs c7.

    Yeah when I dynoed my Auto C6 bone stock she put down 375rwhp, the manuals seemed to be in the 375-385 range depending on dyno so the 6L80 wasn't far off.

    Not sure what the auto C7s typically put down but I know the manuals are typically 400-415.

    They claim the C7 is just 90lbs heavier than the C6. I have a feeling that my C7 with a proper driver would rip my old car off the line but the old car would come around it on the top end.

    I thought the LS3 responded better to bolt ons that that?

    That car is STRONG stock. How did you like it on track?

    My C6 ended up putting down 405/412 with a Halltech CAI this past spring, the graph I overlayed to my C7 was still with stock air intake but it was on the exact same dyno so figured it was a better comparison.

    It never dynoed very well but it trapped 122mph multiple times with the headers and stock air intake, up from 116.7 when she was bone stock.

    C7 was extremely impressive on track, the brakes were phenomenal I just had to learn to trust them more. Saw 1.22g multiple times and not sure if it saw more, that's just when I happened to catch the display. By the 3rd session I started getting more comfortable with it. Posted a video from my 3rd session if you go back a page. Was extremely happy with the performance of the Pilot Super Sports.

    Looked it up, people are weighing their Z51 magnetic ride cars right at 3400lbs with a full tank. I never weighed my C6 but with the auto I would guess it would have been right at 3300 or high 32's

    C7 must have added a good bit of weight in electronics and the new motor because they swapped the steel frame out for aluminum, swapped all the crossmembers out to hollow aluminum and the hood & roof are carbon fiber and it's still around 100lbs more.

    Love the black spoiler you got for it.

    I saw a yellow one with black wheels in Robinson the other day, it looked awesome.

    Yah Harmarville exit. We forgot the EZ pass transponder in the Volt and didn't feel like dealing with cash lanes. Figured we might get away with it because of the temp tag. They found us lol. $68 but since I have an ezpass account its $5.

    Thx Ray, not looking forward to pulling front and rear bumpers though. Wish I could get a head start on it but having a 2 car garage and a bunch of snow outside doesn't help :P
