215mph in a 01 C5 with no spoiler......ha....lets do it....

 

Mike, why dont you just go 215mph to Dallas and come tune my SRT for me.... It won't take that long...

 

Damn I thought I pushed it when I hit 203.7 mph courtesy of LASER radar and LEO buddy of mine.

 

I knew it, that damn motor ain't gonna be the first thing to break, as it was a factory freak LS6. I may trade him for my 383 Shafiroff!!!

 

He just put in the hardened output shaft, but something else broke....thank God for spares.

LOL, maybe we'll do that!!

Actually, you are in a good place, as I know we have quite a few talented HEMI tuners out that way....

 

NICE. CCW has a great product. Hit us up about the show. Best show to go to though is TOWER SHOPS ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.

Very expensive. I'll never be done with this car.

lol. Yeah,..it might go on for another year or two...or i'll have to make some part two....SAGA anyone? crap.

As far as modding,...that'd be cool if this post in some way inspired more people to mod there cars.

You could actually get away with break boosting in the car. I'd be ying if I said I won't try it but, I would need a real tire, and more fuel to feel comfortable with that. I think tis setup will easily go over 200mph without issue BUT, it would be a smarter decision to do it with a built bottom end,...just due to the amount of load placed on the drivetrain when it's pulling like that in the rpm's @ speeds over 180-190-etc mph. I honestly need a rollcage. I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to... nor do I want to be in a wheelchair. So,..I recommend brakes, cage, tires, and skill at that level. It really does move out. Can't wait to be able to go to 6500rpm...etc

Nice! C4's are one of the most underestimated cars in the world. The car is built for 200plus mph based on shape alone. Nice setup, sure it was wild.
bastard *****.

I just installed a LEFT output shaft in the car last week. I didn't do the right, cause everyone says it doesn't break. Well, upon dissasembly, I fould the cone crush washer was cracked and missing a chunk,...the clutch packs where all worn on the left side. Metal debree was on the magnet. I reinstalled the setup, and did have some whine..or gear noise. I didn't drive the car too hard but, I did go slightly through the gears a couple of times. I probably have 50 miles onthe rear.

Tuesday night I left the show,..hit first...spin spin spin,..quickly but slowly engage 2nd,...HOOK/CLUNK and I went clutch in...and coasted.

Anyways,..just pulled the car inside today....it had all the fluid on the rightside of the diff....and underneath the car.

Nothing APPPEARS split but....something happened on the right side. The axle is still in place but the small seal is slightly pushed out. The fluid on the outside of the DIFF,..has thin metal shavings in it.

So, I either did something wrong(..if you've ever worked on diffs, this one is probably the easiest ever,...I don't see what I could have done to screw up but, I am human)...or the car didn't like the new clutch packs and fesh fluid.... even though the fluid in the car was super new....

 

It would take some *****...and a smooth road. The car is super stable....SUPER stable but,..@200 plus,...it's a different world.

Cars a 00 by the way slickster.

Now, if you wanna go 200+ with more comfort, a regular C5 would be your best bet, since theres less turbelance on the rear decklid then a FRC car. They're more aerodynamic freindly. If you moving while there is some rain out,..lets say 80mph highway cruise....you can watch a tornado on the back window of my car.

 

I'm ready for the trade.

 

The C5 was known for its Aerodynamics back when it came out, think of the new corvette technology, I'm sure you know.... The C5R still hangs with the C6R.......I love vettes...



Mike-Point me in the right direction for a Dallas Tuner or Should I let Andy (MHP)(GotStroked) tune it....

 

those cars make big powa

 

My man Mike Wilson recently started his own shop in Dallas, called Tuning Super Store.
He is an excellent tuner, and having it done in person will always yield the best results...

Here is his contact info from the dealer locator on our website:

MRW Racing
Po Box 1602
Wylie TX, 75098
(214) 592-2729

Email: info@tuningsuperstore.com

Give him a call or shoot him an email and tell Mike that Mike sent ya!

Thanks

 

Dont forget about the window popping out around 180mph..

 

hey i broke a right shaft last year.i thought it was the clutch.we pulled the left side it had a hard shaft.i just ordered the clutch hoping it was it(needed an up grade anyway).there was a sound at the fly wheel that sounded like the spline ripped the disc hub out.my link to photo bucket shows a clean shear.
do the right side,you will need a left side donor gear.i all most got it done by GM for free.problem was only stock parts aloud
told the tuner to bring it up to 7 psi and i'll just have to be happy

BIG ***** 200+ in south florida,you will need a good lawyer to go with that cage i moved to alabama to get away from the cops up my ***.i have to change speed every time i crooss the state line

can't wait for my car back
mike

 

V-Series---Come down to Texas for the Texas Mile and lets run it. I am planning on taking a bunch of cars...

 

No doubt...we need to get his car and his cousins Z06 (427/Direct Port/3.73) out there for some shots at 200 MPH!

 

Does yours do that? I've been in 4 C5's and 1 C6 at those speeds or above and never had any issues like that. Is this real common?

Yeah,..been to jail once for stupid ****....really don't want to do it again. My lawyers great but, I dislike the judicial system here. Just know that the street racing statute...will forever be changed...thanks to me. Thats all i'll say regarding the topic.

It is a future plan but, everything needs to be in line for that type of event. I should look into class rules, and see what the regulations are. I know the cage is mandatory at certain speed classes but,..6 point-8 point?...halo?...chute?... I dunno. I need a better block for sustained speed, even though the mile isn't sustained for a length of time. Do you need a fire surpression system?... also something i'd look into,...as I have put out multiple car fires before...and carry a large extinguisher in my car with me...I almost wonder if you need a built in system for certain classes?

I don't want to go there and have some dude tell me I can only do 170...cause thats what my car is rated at.

motor/cage/morefuel/brakes/trans and possibly the lottery to getthe car there. I also want to do the roof,..as in aero work. I want to install the two slats you see on the roof edges,...or almost any high speed racecar. They're designed to break up the air going over the car, should it go sideways. These can be sen easily on a nascar....or several standing mile cars,..vipers..C4's..etc. Stability is key.


The blue car has been ready for that event for a while now. Just gotta get the new intake manifold and direct port dialed in...which were hoping to do tomorrow.

 

I have 08 Chevy2500 goose neck, brand new 2 car goose neck trailer...Thats one way......All they do is haul my dads art around, he's crazy. My Z06 got traded for his art hauler.....


V-series- Puss.....J/k As we say in Texas, GEt r done.....

 

...never scarred,....just a little paranoid

either that...i'm getting wiser in my old age

 

Probably a little of both.

 

I just wanted the 500 th comment.
