Its pretty simple, rules dont change.... wether you honk slow or fast... Its GO as soon as you hear the 3rd honk.

The shelby and i were in 2nd just so you know. But you couldnt hear him over my exhaust since he was stock. Even if i raced you i would still tell you the same as i did him just to make sure you have no excuses.

Of course, the excuses start rolling in... Seemed like you were a little late... Lol



Thanks man, if you asked for specific honks i would oblige.... i was thinking that it was more like 60-70awp difference... I only make around 400rwhp
No he was catching back up between runs. You could hear him shift twice actually. But never heard him down shift. I can see you winning. Stop he is 475whp if not heat soaked. You are what only what 50whp? Then with your weight advantage it evens into your favor.

You got me a little confused... The runs werent imediately back to back, i just edited the footage.. We were both in 2nd gear for those runs but i am sure the shelby could have had a better driver, it wouldnt have changed the outcome though.... The shellby had roughly 75 more rwhp than me but like you said, i am much lighter...

You can see hear him come back up get beside you for second race. Ya 75whp isn't going to overcome weight difference. His weight is least 3850 before he gets in it. What you weigh?

Ya he going to need more then 75whp. Least another 50whp to make a good race. Most likely another 75whp to win.

Ohio, when I was untuned with headers, x and vararam I raced a 2011 GT500 and he beat me by a fender...all three races from a 40 roll. So Zyborg pulling him by that much makes sense to me because he has a tune and intake. Just bench racing I know, but he is a good driver with more done to his car than me.

Also, I can't speak for Zyborg but I just weighed my car and its 3040 so I would assume he is close to that.

Actually, me and you have virtually the same power mods: both of us have long tubes, intake and x pipe. The onlything i have extra is my cat back which adds virtualy no power but instead about 40lbs worth of weight over the stock titanium catback(it sounds good though)

Im not sure how you got your car weighting that much, whats the secret? Lol, gm has these cars listed right around 3150lbs.... I sure wouldnt mind loosing a 100 extra pounds

That why said he need least 50whp more to stay close. Most likely the 75whp to be close. That is what always kills GT500's vs Z06's be it a c5/6z is weight. Have seen some 600whp GT500's lose to stock C6z's. I'm not slighting his. Win. Just simply stating it take more then a stock 2011 GT500.


I wonder what all I have to do to get to 3100lbs..that would be almost 750lbs for me.

Oh, I was just assuming you were referring to a ported intake. My bad. But jesus your car rolls out.

side question, what exhaust do you have?

LOL..kinda..plan was E85 for new tune. Bad thing I need new injectors that cost 1200 and a return fuel system that cost 1400. To gain 4lbs boost and some power. Then risk limits of block. I am on limits of block on 93 already. So just retuning for stall for now. Get my suspension in that is in the garage and delete a few lbs. Nothing crazy though. Next year will most likely pull engine do forged internals, 18-19lbs boost and E85. Maybe bigger stall. Just depends if I can get my orders deleted to Benning how soon it all happens. Internals are only 840.

Nope, no intake manifold nor ported stock one....

All i have is halltech air intake, LG LT's with highflow catted x pipe and Borla Stinger catback and tune. Thats it, nothing less nothing more...

You and i should be a good run.... Best thing i can say is really get to know your car and your oponents....

That is a full tank of gas and all the fluids toped off. Machs are listed at ~3450 but it is not uncommon to see them around 3375 on the scales bone stock. Your exhaust will also lighten the car up some.

You are incorrect about the exhaust, the exhaust added weight. No exhaust is lighter than the stock Ti exhaust....
