Just wondering who has the fastest LT1 based motor C4??? Is there a list somewhere I can see??? Need to see what I need to shoot for!!

 

I know Joel Perez from Houston has gone 9.8's @ 148mph with his 92 C4 LT1 6-speed.

 

LOL, I think Paul is talking is talking about Joels Vette, they are friends.

 

I know there is a fastest but i always like to break it down to 2 catagories.

The Joe Overton Catagory, so NOT streetable, its weekly mileage can be counted by 1/4 miles at a time

The Street car catagory

Some people got a fast car that still retain the IRS but some people want the straight axle..... so there is many catagories.

 

Yeah...I was leaning more towards the street category....full interior, stock suspension type of setup...

I know I saw a blue C4 with an auto/supercharger/nitrous from Arkansas I believe that used to run the vette shootouts...I believe he was in the high 9/low 10 category...

But I haven't seen/heard of anyone else...

 

LOL!!! That Joel guy. I dont know about him!!! J/K! For those who dont know, that is ME. Paul, there are bound to be a ton...they couldnt have all fallen off the face of the earth!

 

OH!! HA! I did not know that was Paul!

 

You must be talking about Phil Tobin's "Hoover" Corvette. Havent seen or heard much of him in years.

Theres been a lot of fast LT1 based cars, but kinda like 5.0 cars, a lot of them its been so many years no one has really heard from them in a long while. Also before the message board times, so most the cars were known kinda like on a local level.

 

Hmmm...same color but the one I saw had a Vortech with an intercooler and nitrous on it...

 

Neil,
Yeah...you hardly see one at the track anymore and if you do its usually slow...

I wasn't sure if there was a board/list out there somewhere....

Nick K's old white vette was fast..its still out there but has a small block chevy in it now...

 

Paul,

I remember that guy. He was a real sh-t talker! Was a 383 with a shot of gas and an intercooled Vortech. I want to say the guys name was David Green or something like that. He was from Arkansas. Last time I saw it, it had a 9inch in it.

 

There was a guy that i saw at company party about 3 yrs ago that had a black c4 built by MTI when they did LT1's his plate read C5ETR It was a stroker motor thats all i know. Sounded good.

ER Um , Ok thats my story.

 

You might want to ask over on the corvette forum. Theres a guy over there with an sb2.2 headed motor, reverse cooled. Phil Tolbin was going with a big block last I read. Nick K's best was 10.2@141 as I recall. It's funny you mention stock suspension as a streetable factor. My car is on coilovers- not great for launching but nice in a corner. Nicks car was 13.5-14:1 comp with a solid roller. His old heads are on my car now with a little more work and converted to HR. Anyone know how Nicks car is running with the gen-1 in it? I'm planning to go that route eventually.

Malcolm,
I think Nick's old car is running in the 5.80 range (1/8th mile)...
But I could be wrong...sounds sweet and has some kind of graphics on hood now...

Thanks for the tip on the other forum...I'll give it a shot...
