Street Racing & Kill Stories - 00' Z28 A4 2.73s vs 07' Aprilia 1000r

Yup, i raced a 1000 with my new 00 camaro Saturday night. My buddy just got the bike and its more of a cruiser compared to his modded busa. Nice bike, pretty quick, so he wanted to mess around a little bit on the highway.

We did 1 run from about 45-50 to 135, he waited for my car to kick down and then also hit it. Believe it or not, i started to SLIGHTLY pull after 125. Me and my buddy were in shock!!

.....

How in the world did an automatic camaro with 2.73 gears keep up with a bike at basically the standards of a brand new R6??

A big ass hair dryer. :devil:

Just entered the world of FI and its friggin sweet. Car seen RIGHT under 10 psi on that run because it got pretty cool out at night. However i turned it down to 7-8 for everyday driving until it gets another tune. My buddy said he was "short shifting" but i think i kind of took him by suprise.

Flame on folks.

Might help knowing what mods you got on the car....?

was it the naked Tueno bike or the full fairing RSV bike? A RSV should have been able to walk any Fbody under 500rwhp or so, but sounds like you might be around that power level if you got full boltons and a turbo at 10psi. The RSV's have always been disappointing in the power department and make up for it with ultra lightweight (magnesium engine for christs sake!) and great brakes and handling.

Not sure which model but it was really nice and he said around 450-500 pounds. No clue what power the car makes, they never had it on the dyno. The tune has to be super conservative because the previous owner who i know drove it on 10 pounds for quite a while.

its a SBE ls1 with rod bolts/valve springs, T70 and intercooled, nice turbo headers, thats about it. 3000 yank converter, and pretty much full weight aside from a BMR k-member. Car REALLY pulled that night but like i said i turned it back until i get it on the dyno.

Teuno is the naked bike which means it doesn't have all the fairings of a full on sport bike. Same motor though as the RSV. RSV is the full sport bike fairings one. Both of which are right around 400lbs

Gotchya, either way it was a nice bike and sounded really good, love those V twins. It was pretty cool to keep up with a street bike in a car that is dead silent. Cant say i miss lope and compression.

So you are saying you would rather have your car sound like a vacuum cleaner then this?

LOL yeah man i had a 396 with 12.2 comp and 3" duals. As cool as it is it really gets old. Car sounds great though.

Pics of engine bay rob!

No pics yet man, but its pretty non-suspecting. How many pounds was your TA on to make 522?

I think 10, but that was with a shitty converter

Ok no worries then, i wasn't sure how fast your setup was at this point and thought it might be a decent run if you're lighter than Joe's car.

He was using his phone, probably quoted you instead of me by accident.

Have you had your car at the track?

Nah not you Mike lol. As far as the weight i guess it would be right around full if you minus the K member and add the turbo kit, id say 3600 with me in it.

That should move out pretty well with 500whp through an auto.

It moves out now, but its been on a mail order tune for like 10,000 miles with no issues. Most likely it would be me who blows it up lol so i'm hopefully getting a dyno tune at the end of the week.

Rob you know who to get it tuned by! Mike V

Nice run, man. You can run my 600 if you're ever out this way. Bring the Aprilia, as well. He and I should be a good race. Our bikes are quite different, obviously, but should be close enough to make it a rider's race, and I'd definitely be curious to see how it goes with both the bike and the car. Turbo automatics are nothing to take lightly, especially with a good tune once you start crankin boost.

Thanks man...I was in Connecticut all day today driving to and from lime rock...once again I don't know how this car runs so hard without a real tune so it will stay parked until it gets tuned Friday.
