I think theres alot of hype over the LS3 engine, in stock form its pretty piss poor considering the displacement (408hp or 65hp/Litre). Yes it can be made into a beast (most engines can) but would've been nice to have a bit more character in stock form.All good points Monty. I think the tuneability of our cars has to be one of the key benefits. As Monstar often and correctly points out.
If you're into hard launches and power delivery, look at what FloRider has achieved with some mild mods and a tq converter. Impressive 60ft times and mid 11 second quarters in a +1.8t NA sedan.
Then consider what Monstar has achieved with his Goon. Also the great results EternityDre has been getting at the track.
Impressive examples of what these cars can do, in NA dress code.
While this thread is about factory standard. The comments made about the untappped performance gains are both interesting and valid. Particularly in NA. Because in that space, it would seem our cars are virtually without equal. Credit where it's due...
With slicks and a hi stall you would expect a decent 60 foot, cant argue with that.. can't really compare a fully rebuilt L77 to a stock car off the show room floor (even though he likes to)
Fords gen3 5.0L coyote is making good numbers in stock NA form (460hp or 92hp/Litre) shame they put it in a crap chassis. And then theres Chryslers 300 SRT with a 6.4L hemi which is probably the closest car to compare with the commodore in terms of size and old school NA V8.
Happy with the vf2's chassis just not that impressed with its boring stock power.. something im slowly sorting out.
