C6Zs with DRs have gotten into the high 10s before. Stock.

To Slow Vette.. you should browse corvette forums. There are some good supercharger/tt kits out there.

Anymore info on the engine failure? What size shot were you running? Did it blow from too much or was it the tune? I'm curious when I get one and add H/C/Bolt-ons (580-600rwhp) what size shot can even be safely run, if at all. Any ideas?

Why would you do a head/cam/bolt ons when you can get a s/c kit for the same price w/ no loss of drivability?

it was not enough timing being pulled, but i just think i leaned out on me. one of the pistons came loose while i was spraying and the motor just went.

with this car you don't even need to break into the motor. just do headers, intake, tune, and nitrous. i doubt their will be any street car in south florida that can beat you. i had an intake/tune/150 shot and was pulling stock 1000cc bikes, and ironically pulled a hayabusa the last time i sprayed it. then i sprayed it again, and it blew lol.also, the last car i raced was a kb cobra on a 150 shot making 800rwhp on juice, and pulled him 2 cars, 70-160, heres the shitty video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpy9j...e=channel_page . two things u really need is a better fuel system, and a better clutch. i couldnt do 2nd gear on nitrous because the stock clutch wouldn't hold the power.

with the stock internals, i wouldn't go past 200 with RACE FUEL. 150 max on pump gas.

Thanks for the pictures man! That car is awesome. Seen a few in person and that car is beautiful.
Damn that is some impressive kill list when you had the spray on it. Congrates on the kills and you got one helluva car!

This guy has more than a few races with modded C6Z's against heavily modded Cobra's. Not sure which video's are the right ones. LOL. Good racing anyways.

I'm not surprised that the guys over there are upset. They need more power apparently.

Im very surprised you were that close. I watched mofobucs(danny) at like 550 or so and the c6z just slowly walked away by like 3 cars if i remember right.

But from they way you talk your probably an above average driver and im sure the average c6z driver is well... old.

The C6z driver is an asian guy I know who is a pretty good driver. Our race was from 60-140 which I HAD to be in 3rd because the Termy would knock them off in second. I don't know... It was only intake, exhaust, pulley, and a tune So I am not sure what is up?

Was **** on the bottle when he made 550 because I dont think he makes that much without the bottle and I dont think he makes that much either on motor? I dont know exact numbers and I also know that his trannny is really screwed up so thats one reason he cant shift real well lol.

Have you ever driven a stock shifter Terminator? It is a whole different ballgame. When you pull it from 3 to 4 or 1 to 2(which is a thoughtless shift in my Z06) It pulls out of gear comes across the middle and you hit this "wall" for a split second then it allows you to yank it into gear. Well that slight delay completely ***** up your shift. I HATED trying to powershift my Termy.
