I think it will be close...your tq is pretty killer on the juice.

We should start a whole new thread for this, haha. So far off course from the original post. But yeah, my torque can hold it's on, and on warm roads and tires, I haven't lost traction yet when it sprays.

275s wouldn't hurt though....

But his TQ won't mean **** considering I weight 600LBS less and have the same power....longer gears as well!

Aftermarket short throw shifter.

Just ran some numbers to see what we were looking at:

z06
7.33 hp/lb
7.76 tq/lb

cts-v
8.15 hp/lb
7.74 tq/lb

Interesting.....

I don't think I have a shot, but it would really just be fun to try.

I'm assuming that based off of a Stock Z06 and your Modded CTSV?
Here are the major factors:
1. Weight
2. Aero
3. Gear Ratio
4. Power
5. Diver

--------------------------------------------------

1. Z06
2. Z06
3. Z06
4. Z06
5. ME


Just come over tonight and lets get this over with...

My V is sick. Hole in header and still at the dealership getting the alternator wires replaced.

I guess my headers were talking sh*t to the alternator so it kept hitting it with its wires until they melted and caused electrical issues.
