C63 (Headers + Filter intake + Tune) vs Corvette C7 (Headers Only)

Hey guys,

I just watched a street race C63 vs Corvette C7 made by one of my friends who's the owner of the C63 in the video. I was surprised by the results. I will leave the shock for you guys:

Not really that shocking. The C7 is very light. The new Z07 will be a monster.

From my understanding there will still be a Z06. The Z07 is a package w/aero bits same engine.

Well, whatever they call the more powerful one. I don't follow corvettes very closely. Cheap plasticy junk, but they are fast.

lol I smell something fishy about that vette being just headers. it hits 200mph+ on the gauge from rolling start in like 15 secs.

The new Stingrays actually aren't that cheap/plastic-laden, either.

It's actually a brilliant performance car if you can live with the two seats.

The only emotion I am experiencing is shock that the beating wasn't worse.
Not sure why one would think a tuned C63 with a few bolties would hang with a new Stingray... That car is in a league of its own when talking performance.
I am surprised and happy to see the C do as well as it did. Nice runs.

I think some may have taken the position that you were of the opinion the C63 should have pulled the vette given the mods installed on the C.

The c63 with full bolt ons does alright but people seem to expect it to be unbeatable lol when so many cars are much quicker. But the outcome was very expected. Dont forget the 4000 pounds we carry around. I love the new vettes honestly. But the c sounds better

Past:2010 ML63 AMG, 2011 C63 AMG, 2011 E63 AMG, 2015 C400 4matic & 2014 CLS550 4matic. Now: 2017 C43
Don't see what the big deal is. The C7 didn't whoop the C63...
And looking at the 1/4 mile times in all the magazines out there, they are similar... (Bone stock obviously)...
I'm a member on this forum and the Corvette forum and I have owned 2 C5 Corvettes and now have a C63 & I appreciate both cars.
Would I buy a C7? Absolutely... But the C63 is much more convenient to haul around a family of 5!!!
My 2 cents! Cheers

The vette has the same power and torque and is 500 lbs lighter
I'd say the 4 door aquitted itself quite well against a 2 seat sports car
The vette is a great car

Thats the great thing about the C63 how it can hold its own against "Sports cars".
Mine is a 4 door saloon which transports the family about in comfort, It carries the shopping (Groceries) home. The seats drop for building materials!!!

Then when i am on my own it scares and shocks the Porsche / GTR owners (In a straight line from a roll)

An all rounder i would say

LS motors are legendary. They are very reliable motors, they are also extremely mod friendly. The C6/7 Are one of the very few American cars I would love to own.

You just can't beat the price / performance of those cars.

Good run with the C, our cars hold there own quite well.

Not all LS motors are reliable. The LS7 has serious valve guide problems that can be terminal. It seems a much worse problem than the M156 head bolt issue.

Friend of mine has a 6.0 liter ls style engine out of a crashed chevy van, added a killer fuel system, cam, and a turbo, and put down 640hp on the very same dyno that my C63 made 354hp with the mods in my sig. LS engines are awesome. Although, if we had a boost friendly compression ratio, or didn't mind paying for race gas, our engines would be nothing short of amazing as well. I have a 91 fox-body 5.0 mustang, and when I decide to upgrade the engine substantially, I will absolutely look seriously into a boosted ls engine of some sort.

And before a riot breaks out about my dyno numbers here, there's 3 things to consider.

1. I'm at 6500ft elevation
2. turbo engines are less effected by elevation, or DA
3. The dyno I was on is VERY stingy. The truck I said made 640hp, made well over 700rwhp on a dyno in SLC, Utah 2 days prior.

Elevation sucks major D for N/A cars The people at sea level have it made lol.

My next big boy car will be turbo for sure.... E63 or a GTR.

Many platforms will have its quirks, however it does not dismiss the credibility of the motor as a whole.
