Horsepower T.V. didn't say anything about any baseline. They simply took an over the counter LS3 crate motor, used camaro exhaust manifolds, dyno'd the motor and came up with the said horsepower at the flywheel.
Horsepower TV show, a few weeks ago bought an over the counter corvette LS3 engine, changed only the exhaust manifolds to camaro manifolds dyno'd the engine and got 495 h.p. out of the other wise bone stock motor. ( no dry sump ). Question: Would the power of been the same or more if it were...

Competition?
How many new vettes and I mean how many new coupes are bought with the intention of going to any kind of actual competition. I'll bet that 99% of any competition will be from one traffic lite to another. With an occasional trip to a drag strip. Chevy of all people should know...
I am keeping my Grand Sport in the garage for a couple of months at a time, driving it every now and then. Question, I plan on using a battery tender when not using the vette. Comments anyone.
Thank God, the the 2011 grand sport convertibles are as forgotten as the 2010 as far as dry sump, trunk battery, etc. etc. And yes misery does love company.
1968 was the only year they did not use the sting ray emblem? I am told by someone that the 1969 corvette started reusing the sting ray emblem but they wrote it as stingray. Ok but did any one know that they started reusing the emblem mid year 1968. Comments?
Why is the LS 3 built at one location by one guy, and the other LS 3 built at another location by a group of people for the same vette? Why is the battery located in the trunk of some but not in all? Why is there dry sump in the hardtop, and not the convertible? Is the hardtop...
