Idk about you but i was seriously impressed with how hard that gt500 was able to pull on that z06. Idc what dyno numbers say, a bolt on cammed c6 z is a serious car on the highway...

 

i laughed when i saw the cammed c6z put down only 515. the motor i just bought (LS7) out of my buddy's c6z put down 550 with just the cam, a vararam, and arh 1 7/8" LTs...

although any cammed c6z is nasty, this one is on the lower end of the spectrum. so in all fairness, i totally expected that rape coming.

 

So it's pretty much common knowledge that it takes the old 03-04 cobras an extra 80-120whp to pull 4th gen's.

So is there a new comparison between GT500's & C6Z's? it takes an extra 200whp?

Whats up with these GT500's are they dyno queens? What's really happening, they aren't thaaaat heavy. I assume it's a combo of weight plus aero plus heat soak losses. Is the dyno creating inaccurate numbers by not accurately simulating a true load? This is a legit question, not trying to be an ***.

I just don't get impressed with cars that dyno huge numbers, put down slow times for their power level, and then defend themselves by saying how fast they are from a roll... Its pathetic.

 

Wow just saw the thread on svt, he does have cam/headers/tune/Cai that tune really does suck lol

 

Don't you complement no mustang

 

I just realized I wrote it like that. Haha..aeroforce gauge will read timing and plugs into the obd port.. Widebands for his a/f with the aeroforce gauge also. But his car don't come with widenands stock. Like the 5.0 and 2011+ GT500.

 

Its a combination of heavy weight, undergeard, no suspension, crappy tires and bad drivers. I made 2 crappy passes and I know this from how the car runs outside the track its not excuses its the truth.

 

Or maybe you just have a bad platform...

 

ford supra?

 

it does look damn good with the drag wheels.

 

Word...Autocock's dad has good taste in wheels/tires

 

Not at all s197 platform has been in 6s.

 

just in case you guys missed the other thread.. same shelby. it makes 700rwhp, not 741 btw

 

my brothers pullied,light bolton 03 cobra has pulled on cammed and even heads/cam 4th gens and it only puts 455hp to the wheels.i dont think they need 80-120 more rwhp to pull a 4th gen. but i agree they do need more power and i also find it weird that some of the rediculously high powered GT500's and 03 Cobras just dont run like you would think they would. I would also add the 5th gen Camaros in there as well. some of them approaching 500rwhp or more are having trouble with 5.0's making 415rwhp. I know theyre heavier but not THAT much heavier.

im sure the aerodynamics of the 4th gens and Corvettes help them alot as well.

 

Yet yours makes how much power and still runs 12s?

 

Yup just 12s. What does your car run again?

 

lmfao

 

nothing funny there.

 

My car makes 530 I beat a 4th gen making ~480 so 50 was plenty in a heavier car.

 

So, your 530rwhp car is still running 12s.

I realize it isn't dialed in yet, but damn, my old bolt-on LT1 with less than half the power was knocking on 12's its first time to the 1/4 in 2700DA, humid summer night, with bald DRs on OEM 17x9" zr1 wheels with the stock 17x9 275/40/17 ws6 wheel and tire up front.

Those things must be hard to hook up with the factory suspension.

Damn, you got me. My jet ski does 0-30 in under 2 seconds?

Truck just serves as the toy hauler and winter beater. Love it in Iowa winters. Hasn't been in 4wd yet
Vids?
