@Camaromandave98 depends on what the 383 has, if its just stock heads and a small cam I'd still put money on the LS1 vette. A modded one is a diff story, my brothers 383 lt1 has a custom grind cam and stock ported/CNC heads and makes 440 at the wheels.
looked liked the c5 took a jump on the start.. reached the straight first and got on it while the camaro was goin a lil slower and reached it later then the c5. good race but they shoulda tried to even it up before going
@gixxerfanatic I'm doubting that the Vette was stock. If it was, then even a poorly built 383 should have beaten it. But those C5's with bolt-ons are pretty lethal.
@FDallaround yeah exactly...you ever see a stock vet try to get off the line? they never hookup because there's NO weight in the back...so that camaro should have stomped it off the line...but it didnt even do that.
The LT1 did very well considering the huge weight advantage the C5 has. The LT1 is a steel block and is heavy as fuck compared to the Corvette. Both cars sound good and are quite fast. Excellent video!
im not saying it would make a difference in the outcome, but the fact that the corvette had the inside lane through the curve also made it so that the vette had quite and advantage coming into the straightaway

This makes me sad. If you're gonna build a 383 you need to do it RIGHT. That Camaro should have dusted the vette... :(

hey if you think about it, the camaro had a longer distance than the vette since they started on a turn. Unless they compensated for that somehow

vettes are heaver than you might think, and im sure it have a iron block as well since they dont make aluminum lt1 blocks

@95z28onjuice that was an LS1 in the vette not an LT1. LS1s have aluminum blocks

iron block only weighs 100 lbs more than the ls1 alum...block..not that much of a difference...and the 383 has a 37 cub in advantage!!

@richie19r yea, but the vette is mostly fiberglass and weighs a fuck of a lot less than a camaro...

@richie19r 100lbs = 1/10 a second. that matters in racing

The LT1 is an iron block not a steel block, but yes, it is quite heavy compared to the corvette.

That's not a 383 LT1, or a good driver. One of the two.
