h/c only ls2 c6 vs bike then turbo civic
#22
I love that c6z it's flawless.. your a great driver no doubt. This was really the first legit race I had since I built my car so yes I want to talk about it.. Like I said, I never even thought once I could beat the c6z being untuned.. I didn't state who owned the car nor did I want to.. I am getting tired of guys saying it's an unhealthy c6z though because I know damn well yal take great care of it. If me talking about beating a c6z offended you then my bad. I have lost and I have posted video's of me losing before. It don't matter to me because I know there are faster car's and there will always be. Either way I not dissapointed with my build anymore.. Dropping a bit of change and risking a lot of **** to only get my car back from rpm running like **** made me want to return it to stock again.. and just buy a bike. You simply gave me hope
I don't buy into the Z not being healthy either. In this case, I think you beat the driver more than anything. Unlike many other people, I will fully admit that I'm not perfect and did not drive the car perfectly. I'm sure someone used to the Z06 could go out there and do a better job with the same exact car. I did ok for my limited experience and I'm fine with that.
I also think that your car, even untuned, is making similar power given the mods you have. I could be wrong, but looking around the internet, I see similar races ending similarly.
In either case, I'm sure my brother will be more than happy to run it again with him driving. And we will get a video. A win is a win and you won.

Fair enough. I have people telling me you're saying whatever about the race. And that's fine. I'm not a boastful person in any sense of the word and that is how I conduct my business when it comes to races like this. I won't post kill stories or wins or anything (outside of the one race I posted which was between myself and my brother).

Has no dyno time RPM said it had a start up tune and that was it.. they didn't want to tune it with a fualty cam/crank sensor.. truth is.. I shouldn't be running it at all.... I should fix the issue first..

I have the money set a side... They want me to fix the issue or pay them 1,000-1,200$ to fix it... I'm not going to pay them that much to dis-assemble the front end and re-tap the sensor bolt I stripped out.. They think I bought the wrong timing set up for my car... even though I told them I stripped that bolt out while on install and the sensor is simply lose... here a link to my build and everything happening with it if you care to follow. https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...ld-list-7.html

Yeah, I read that cool story, even with a novice rider the bike should of out ran you.
But hey, I've seen crazier stuff posted on the net.

Why is the dude who drove the Z getting butt hurt? He posted a story in the street raving section. Get over it!
You shouldn't be racing your car in the condition it's in though, no real tune and the other issues = bad news...

Yea My car running hella rich.. Most damage could happen is NGK spark plugs fouling.. As all vette's when there's a check engine the car kinda runs in cripple mode.. acceleration is mad hesitant until past 3k rpms. Under full accleration it is still choppy feeling and back fires from hell when I let off the throttle. Just normal synthoms for an untuned car with my issues. I'm very excited to see how well it's going to preform after I fix it and a tune.

Well you said your car should be lighter than my car and it weighs 3120 with a half a tank of gas. You can listen to those stats all day long but until you actually weigh your car they don't really matter.

Yea I know... But the c6z is far lighter reguardless. I took my axle back off the car also so it should be a little lighter.. about 35lb's to be exact I been watching the oil temp in the car and it seemed to stay below 212 after 2 hard runs against the c6z... now my clutch fluid boiled and lost my clutch for about 20 mins... I blame rpm for that.. I think they used dot 3.. sucks to I wanted to run the h/c gto with 150 shot...
