C6Z vs. 500hp Turbo S2k (vid)
#61
Sure it's just an extra 40 rwhp putting me in the high 400's rwhp and low 500's tourque at the wheels but it's somthing..Feel confidant I would rape a stock srt10

Ive said it before and Illsay it again..You cannot compare TT small displacement Jap cars to big displacement american NA cars..
Sure it was a 520 rwhp 3100 pound vette verses a 510 rwhp 2400 pound s2000 and by all intents and purposes on paper the s2000 has a HUGE power to weight advantage..But what paper dosent show is that in the real world the instantaneous power/torque of the american NA monster will often times beat the more powerful power to weight smaller displacement TT Jap car...
You can call it boost lag or no power under the curve or a 100 different excuse....I call it No *****...As the Z06 climbs out a car to car and a half with it's bowling ***** dragging behind...
God bless american muscle!

I would say Gearing and Aerodynamics have more to do with a slightly less powerful Z06 walking a slightly higher horsepower S2000
That being said, there is something to be said for huge displacement motors, the amount of Torque a Viper makes is just F---- awesome, and is the reason why the ACR is the first car I would buy if I won the Lottery (or made enough money to buy any car I wanted, lol)
Here is my car in case ya live in the Northeast and ever see me on the highway

Just came back from a ******* awesome race. I will post up as soon as vid is done being edited and posted to youtube.
SPE 1000rwhp Supra vs SPE900 GTR both on C16. I haven't raced my supra in a long time but needless to say.. in order to beat him I had to brake boost. I'm very sure that if S2K brake boosted me while I was driving the Z06.. He would have walked me. A slow walk but definitely a walk. He probably would have ended a car or two ahead.
I'll make a new thread when the vid comes.

I gotta step in here, First of all, Is this S2000 stripped? If not its 2,900lbs at the lightest ........I have a 580HP Turbo S200O with 420 ft/lbs of torque, I step on it, and the car moves, and it moves rather quickly. I have yet to find a Z06 to have big enough ***** to pull away from me. Instantaneous torque or not, once my turbo fully spools, which takes all of 1-2 seconds, my car usually pulls away quite easily from "American N/A muscle".
but saturday kill stories. brake boosted against a 630 hp cobra at 55, raped him 4 cars. braked boost ftw?

Killemall, the thing you're missing with the ACR Viper that has the record is it's on RACING TIRES... All of the GM vehicles are on street tires.. WOW
Good races, love the C6Z platform. Can't wait to have one!

"With brake boosting blah blah blah...."
NOBODY CARES.
How ironic that you call out people for bench racing and then make claims about how much faster the S2K would have been if he "brake boosted".
You shouldn't have to ride the brakes in your car in order to spool the turbo for a race. That means your turbo is way the hell too big for your motor.
LS7 > 4 cylinder. End of story.
And for the record I own a turbo 4 cylinder as well as a V8 car.

You would get raped by a bolt on Z06 in the triple digit speeds. End of story.

BTW doesn't this forum have a bench racing section?
Just sayin'

A 2 step isn't brake boosting. Its a 2 stage rev limiter, since you obviously don't understand that there is a difference. Using a 2 step to launch is one thing, riding the brakes on the highway to spool your oversized turbo is another.
Go away zero post troll.
