A non hacked up swiss cheese Vette with a driver (180 avg) is around 3300lbs give or take 20. Your race weight is 3100lbs with driver. I'm not sure why you keep comparing your car to street Vette's that drive great with street clutches and stock transmissions/gears.
Passing state inspections is not all that hard, but kudos to you, that definitely makes your car safe! Would you put a child in the back seat of your car and take it on a road trip, that is if you had a back seat in that tin can? If you would I hope you do not have kids...
The street car argument is pointless. Everyone will call their car a street car because no one wants to own an 11 second race-car. I would be embarrassed if my race-car only ran 11's.
I see you have a excuse for everything.....yep you know it all.
So finding weight in stuff like the hood hinges, coil pack brackets, serpentine system among lots of other like that. Did you ever think a lighter car would take a impact better????? Less weight to stop......I'm sure you did....you seem smart....lol
My aluminum skin under the rear of my car makes it super dangerous. At 100 mph in reverse it picks the rear of the car up off the ground. As it slows to 88mph with the rears tires in the air something strange happens. I travel time.
More bs from you not knowing wtf you are talking about. My race weight was about 3230. Pretty much the same as it would be with me in a Z06(c5 Z06's can go in the 3050-80lb range depending on fuel load).
I'm sure you don't drive around on your drag wheels.......no one does.
Now this started with me saying op's car was not making the power it should. It don't. Which is the real problem here.
And if any of you noticed I never expected op's car to run with mine. But I do expect it to make more power than mine not less.

You quoted me remember, I never responded to any of your crap until you responded to a post of mine which had nothing to do with my post.
I don't drive around in my drag wheels mainly because I don't own the car anymore. Tick Performance actually had them on their trailer and carried them down for me when that pic was taken. I drove my street car to the track, I didn't trailer it.
Once again you just make a random response and ignore all the key points I made in my posts. You stated your race weight was under 3000's with a drag pack on and you weigh 160. It was a solid guess at 3100lbs. I didn't realize under 3000 + 160 = 3230 but I'm following you now...
You nailed me I don't know what Im talking about! Just because your car makes good numbers with all the crap you have done doesn't mean a true cam and header only LS6 is supposed to make more power in shitty summer weather. Where is your buddy and his 126-128 trap speeds in cam only C5Z's being the norm and any less being a poor setup? Still awaiting a reply to that as I posted the Z06 fast list with all the top reported times on it (not seeing very many cam only numbers with those trap speeds). Just for the record my car lost 15rwhp in the crappy summer humidity SAE on the same dyno same setup from the winter SAE numbers. The OP's car will probably make around 420rwhp in the winter SAE, SAE can't correct for everything but you knew that already just like you understand structural integrity of parts.

I leave crumple zones up the the car manufacturers and their engineers and testing. You truly are dumb if you think all the crap you have done to your car would make it take an impact better just because its lighter.

Verdad Gallardo I'm not the type of person to give a guy a blow job for three HP on the dyno. So your car made 417whp with an electric waterpump and whatever other racecar mods you did? I could take my car to another dyno and probably get a different number, whether it be lower or higher but is it gonna make it faster? No
Let's see.....hmmm a part designed to take a hit with 3400-3500# car vs the same part now with a 30xx car. Which one should hold up better? Hhhhhmmmm

I have not touched my crumple zones(more bs on your part). I did lighten my bumper supports. But if you do it right they're still very strong. But I'm sure you knew that since you knew I cut my crumple zones out. ......idiot

As for your second statement.....wow just wow....
And yes ....you assumed I have cut my chassis.
Although I do think dyno's are relevant it does not always indicate a cars performance.

That's what I say about you and your comments.........wow....just wow. But I guess it would be safe to assume you have tested out any parts you have bought or made for crash worthyness and if they did'nt perform properly then you left it stock......right?

I asked him this a couple posts up......so x2.

I would never test cutting holes in parts of my car on my street car, its not worth my life or my passengers life in my STREET CAR to chase a time at the drag strip. I know I know you have worked for a race team for XX years and know for a fact you car would hold up just fine in an accident.
Keep chasing that mph record, the import crowd would be impressed.
MPH chasing is all making speed....the last time I checked 1/4 mile drag racing was about making speed. So it's all relevant whether some like it or not. Mph can = et potential. But since I don't have a drag car et is not really my priority. If it were then I would've already put my fab 9 in to chase et......but even when it goes in et will not be a priority. At any rate a 11.0 car in street trim trapping 130+mph with a bolt-on ls6 on a 10bolt is pretty good. So you can take your mph hating self to another thread.
I know...your holier then thow attitude is torn to pieces when you bolt your drag wheels on.......and I'm sure your not one of these idiots on the road that never uses their turn signals too. preventative and deffensive driving is always the best for safety.
Maybe you should buy a Volvo since your so concerned about you and your passengers......instead of a vette.
With that said I'm sure your emailing everyone with a tubular k member/other parts telling them how unsafe their cars are.
get over your self dude.....this was never about me or my car.

Last time I checked 1/4 mile drag racing was all about ET, who gets to to finish line quicker. Never heard of a race that was won by MPH but perhaps you have a new series started? Now I am a MPH hater? Record trap for a bolt-on ls6 is 134.xx, I'm next at 131.xx.....but my car was a little off that day. Do I think it had a 134 in it??? NO. But it will do better than 131. I've seen bonestock c5 Z06 go 118. As far as regularly anything it's impossible to say. Different drivers, different mods......nothing is regular at that point. But you can bank on this.....the engine is capable of what I said if all else is right with the right mods. Mine is proof of that.
Thanks for the troll Heater.....lol

In case you haven't figured it out yet my post in this thread was in response to what C5Z's normally run bolt ons cam only. I realize you have yet to grasp that and continue to yap about nonsense but the proof is in the pudding. Keep chugging along buddy, apparently you haven't caught it yet although its been mentioned a few times but I no longer own a Vette.Yup I'm emailing everyone with their street cars that have holes drilled in nearly every panel/part of the car.
