Short E63 Vs. LS2 races

Type In "E63 Vs. Ls2" in youtube

We did very short races from 70-80 mph to 120-130 mph.

The ground was wet so we didn't want to start at a lower speed. More to come.

Looks like the 63 pulls pretty nicely up top, did you start in 3rd gear ? Let me know some details

E63 3
C6 0

E63 Vs C6

Great videos......

If you would've gone to slightly higher speeds, you would've seen the E63 pull even more

Ahh...another beautiful night in Mexico...nice vids

I wouldn't have figured the 63 would pull that well on a C6, given the almost 1000lb weight difference. That performance was pretty damned impressive.

I guess once you really get moving, it all boils down to horsepower and who's got more of it.

not to self promote, but if you haven't seen my e63 racing a 2006 z51 c6 vette, it's pretty funny. At least for me, the vette guy did not think so.

You gave him a huge head start as well, had you guys left at the same time this race would have been much worse in your favor many car legnths. You have alot more in your car as I can see from the high trap speed. 12.30 should not be a problem.


E63 with added weight is not a good idea by adding one passenger you slow the car.2 per 1/4 mile that two tenths will cause you to lose to an LS3 equipped Vette. Make the camera guy ride in the lighter car
