Corvette Performance - Im scared.....

Buddy just got a 2007 Z06....I gotta few mods and Im pushin 445/497 SAE..

Next week doin some minor surgery ( lightweight flywheel/tuning) and should put down 460/510 SAE....

Hopefully that'll be enough..LOL

Vids in a week..whats your prediction..

c6 z06 is one sick car, thats all I know!!!

As always, power levels are not the determining factor in race outcome involving traction-limited manual tranny cars. It's the driving the counts.

I'm thinking the Z06 takes ya.
Thise cars are fast and are lightweight.
Good luck and let us know the results!!! :) :chug: :chug:

got next to one at the track a couple weeks ago. 1st run, I started spraying in 2nd (A4) and he ate me alive. Second run, I shot at the top of 1st, he still ate me... and he even hit his rev limiter half way down the track. :jest:

good flippin luck.

I personally think it will be a good run IMO. Drive it like you dont have to pay to fix it!!

ohhhhh....I dunno man. drivers race for sure. Given the same drivers,...it'll be neck and neck for two gears,...third, the Z06 wil start to pull about half a car,...4th, he might end up with you on the bumper. As lond as your not both blowing off the tires.

Then again,..your makeing quite a bit of torque soo, it's possible I could very easily eat my words. Whats your viper way in at roughly?

99 rt10..3380 acording to the mags and registration..with my spare and jack removed 3360..With the hard top removed 3330 ( hard top removed is good for the 1/4 mile but BAD for anything past 130 mph..

So ill be running him at a vehicle weight of 3360 plus my 220 pounds of flubber for a combined weight of 3580 pounds..

I beleave his 2007 c6z06 weighs 3180...And then he's a 280 pound body builder..scary HUGE..For a combined weight of 3460..

He's had a few different mustangs that I have killed with ease..So now he's trying to return the favor LOL...

lol. Good fun. Love to hear the outcome man.

I'm thinkin zo6 as well just because they are so lightweight. Anyone know what a stock c6 zo6 puts to the wheels?

Varies from dyno to dyno and Z to Z...on average we see 440-460RWHP. Not bad for a stocker...!

Because of power to weight, all else being equal (drivers), the Z will probably take the win.

With some minor "tweeking" running stock exhaust, I'm at 484.4 RWHP and 452.8 RWTQ. This is one Bad Ass factory car... :devil:

extremely fantastic stocker...especially for the price..75K and 450 rwhp and 3150 pounds is no joke...Basically a NSX with a SC and shot of nos on top LOL...

I didnt care to much for the interior though..Pretty boring and the materials seemed a bit cheaper than the ones in my 04C5...But if I really cared about that I wouyld be dring a mercedes LOL..

The upgraded interior was pretty much why I traded my '04 in for me '06.lol
The arm rest was the only thing that I felt I really "needed" to upgrade.

The C6Z06 interior felt really really skimpy compared to my 2004 C5..That leather felt pretty plush..I remembe pushing against the doors numerous times and feeling how fat the leather was...

The C6Z06 leather felt like it ws a 1/4 inch worth of leather at most on the doors..Hard to the touch and not plush at all..But is this possible C6Z06 specific weight savings?

The tuning will help with the HP gain, but I would not expect the gains from the flywheel to help much during a race. The gains that come from a lightweight flywheel are just due to less rotating inertia. The actually do not have any really HP gains for an engine, but due to less inertia will help it rev quicker. The only reason people see gains is because of how a rear wheel dyno measures power.

Having owned an 01 & an 04 Z06... and now an 07 Z06,

there is a significant improvement in the C-6 Z06...

including the interior fit & finish !!! :cheers:

Agreed! I took a C6Z in my C5Z pretty hard off the line and he didn't start to pull until 100+....Its all about your tires and your driver!!! Of course power plays a big part WHEN you get traction.....

Im going to have to go with the C6Z.....

Sorry, but the c6 Z06 will smoke ya. No replacement for displacement. You may be even until about 100 mph, then forget about. Those cubes kick in and its all over. Add to it a simple tune, headers and a port job on the intake and look out. Also the gearing is going to get you too if all the above isn't bad enough.

The preceding was a personal experience riding to Vero Beach with several friends who have c6 Z's.

Cheers

You do realize that the Viper has more displacement and more cubes than the Vette, right?

+1 on that, but I am still voting c6zo6 for the win if the bodybuilder can drive.

I was just pointing out that he was talking out his ass. I'd probably give the slightest edge to the Vette too but I think its just gonna be a drivers race.

Yea it's all those cubes man..LOL...But while were at it Im kinda 2 sided on the V10 488 ci in the Viper...It 's a huge engine..yet it only put's down 400-420 rwhp bone stock????410 100% stock in my case...

But on the other hand it was putting down 400-420 rwhp back in 1996, wich was CRAZY power back then

But now adays the SRT10's 440-460 rwhp bone stock seems pretty limp wristed for a 502 ci V10. I hope the new 2008 V10 will finally make use of all those inches.

Vipers are still pretty heavy all though they do seem to be getting lighter by the year.
Im pretty sure they are still using an iron block. Does anyone know for sure?
