The LS2/LS3 C6 will both run low 12's at around 114-117mph.

I raced a EVO X with a few bolt-on's and 28psi and he got me only because I blew the launch. He put 3 cars on me instantly and I got all of them back by 90mph then he hit his brakes. From a roll it is a completely different story but then again it's that way with all silly AWD cars.

LOL @ 28psi. And LOL @ silly AWD cars.

If i may thread hijack for a min - DTM what made you go with the Cossies over the Kelfords? I assume you have the M2's... I'm starting to look at cams and both mentioned seem to be front runners for everyone....

Yes I do have the M2's. I went with them as I saw that they were still providing great driveability and a great idle but were still incredibly increasing the top end. They really did make a difference and are on the more aggressive side when comparing them to say hks 272's or the gsc cams. The Kelfords from what I've seen are decent but to be honest with you, not many Evo's run them and I'm not really too sre why they aren't more popular than they are. The Cossie's though are what I would recommend though, also take a look at those GSC Stage 2 cams, there supposed to be pretty wicked as well.

That's what it does. Which basically ties it with a 08 base Corvette...
between a new M3 and 08 Vette it would be a driver's race for sure

Actually they don't other than added boost they only have a test pipe and run it on 104 octane. It launches like a bad SOB but from a roll the ECM/PCM hates them. They already took out the stock clutch launching at 7,200rpm and we are all waiting for the engine to follow suit.

You would have to use track numbers to compare the two because even my LS2 C6 can easily best 12.6 in the 1/4. The numbers magazines accomplish with these kind of cars are barely even what I would consider a guide.
