The C5 will get tremendous gas mileage on the freeway. I cruse at around 950 RPM at 65.
As for the S2000 beating a C5 ain't going to happen without a 70 year old lady driving the vette or the vette feeling under the weather.
I have both a S2000 and C5 and would not begin to try and compare the two. Corvette enthusiast also ask me to compare the two, you cannot and should not. They are both great cars for what they are designed for, that is why I would own both.

As for this race, you probably raced a L98 which was in the '91 corvette (if previous body style, the body style was the same from 1991 till 1996, but went through 4 different engines). It had around 245 horsepower; however, this still would be a good race because how the corvette is set up. I don't believe you should pull two cars lengths on any vette after 1968, if they are "healthy" and I stress "healthy."

If you did as you say great race.

If you don't even know how to spell the word "sense" it is hard to take you seriously, let alone believe you know what you are talking about. Might not even see the Vette at the end? LOL. You are kidding right. You make it sound as if the LS1 6-speed is the fastest thing on the road. Ever heard of an LS6 6-speed? I assume according to your calculations that this thing would take off and fly around at Mach 4. Get a grip with the LS1 crap.

350RWTQ?? What the hell are you smoking? Since we are local to each other can we hook up so I can buy some of it from you? I had an 02 Z28 that I sold to get my S2000. With Direct-Flo lid and Corsa exhaust the car only put down 321RWHP and 335RWTQ at MTI. Your numbers are completely exaggerated and way off. Try maybe 290-300RWHP and 300-310RWTQ stock.

My dads old 01 C5 made 323RWHP and 347RWTQ at Houston Performance so that is what I am talking about. It was a 6-Speed. Considering his car traped 110 bone stock and most S2000's trap about 97-98 yea the Vette just might be out of sight. If you could not tell I was sarcastic you are are a retard!! If you look in MM&FF the 02 SS they tested made 342RWTQ so my #'s are not very off at all. Your Z-28 was a weak car to only make 321 with those mods, most of my buddies 01+ LS1 cars make close to 330 stock, I actually had a buddy make 336RWHP with a drop in filter. Does this make any SENSE to you?

That was a bit harsh...

Well.. gas mileage... C5s get very very good gas mileage. We can't really compare driving habits.. but I get 17 mpg in the city... but thats because I go wide open throttle most of the times and usually keep my rpm above 2000. However, one can use the posted mpg..... do the research and find out that mpg are about the same between the S2000 and C5.

LS1 usually will dyno about 320-330 rwhp. I am not sure about torque. But its in the 300 range. Ohh btw... Camaro (SS) and Corvette (C5 LS1) has the same engine and dyno the same horse power .

hahah... yeah.. sorry .. didnt mean it... but that rounding off bs is pretty stupid

alexf20c

Well, if it's any consolation, if you round by up by 5's, we too would have a Five-O. Well, actually, it'd be a Zero-Point-O, so we'd have to limit it to only rounding up. Yah. Up. That's a nice number. Five-O.
