details on z06?

 

It's a 2006 with a cam, milled heads, FAST/102TB, CAI, header's, Akrapovic exhaust, and supporting mods. Put down around 556whp on a mustang dyno.

Haven't had it to the track yet, none close by me.

 

well that totally ruled out my chances haha. Know anyone with a stock z06? Badass car though. Dynoed at slowhawk?

 

Yes sir. Thank you, you don't have a bad steed yourself.

My cousin has a 13 5.0, with bolt ons, runs pretty strong. He's down in NJ, quite a hike for him to come to CT.

I don't know any local Z owner's, haven't been out for any cruises, or car's & coffee, but am looking to hook up with some.

Besides the car being Yellow, it also has flames on it, so it must intimidate others from playing with me. I have only had a couple of bikes play. I'm 1-1 with them.

 

Yea ive been over to slowhawk. His dyno is spot on with Dezs. Your car must screw with that much power. Must feel nice.

 

Yes, it does fly! Hopefully it is putting out a few more ponies, as the 102TB and colder plugs were added afterwards, and have allowed for a few degrees more timing

The biggest problem if you want to call it that, is getting the car to stick below 65mph. It has the Michelin PSS rubber on it, and unless it is a warmer 65 plus, it has issues with spinning from a roll. Which is another reason I don't bother with taking the car out below 50 degrees, as that seems to be the threshold of not having fun anymore.

We definitely gotta hookup, I used to be a gear head and hung out to the wee hours of the morning for many years, where I grew up in Northern NJ. Kinds miss those days of
friendly competition.

 

As long as the salt is minimum, I'll be there! My car doesn't need more rust problems than it already has! I'm going to contact Julio and see when he expects the pump to be ready for shipment.

Holy ****, all this for a slow *** Regal dude's scared to race?

 

yeah how i wish i lived on the east coast now.

 

Just stop the flame it is a meet now he can show up to it if he wants to or not. -_-

 

What town were you from in North Jersey?...I was from Nutley, NJ. We used to meet up where Rt3 and Rt17 connected and run off the lights. After the cops busted that up we began going to Jersey City along the waterfront.

 

Progress made today:

Removed front sway bar for better weight distribution and - 35lbs
Mounted up from 17x4.5 on Racemaster Radials - 60lbs
Reinstalled pistol grip shifter
Awaiting mondays arrival of my 555R 275/60/15 to mount them to my 15x10s - 35lbs
Installed my rear sway bar relocation brackets

retune friday at Dez

Shortly after that pick up my braille battery then possibly hit the track on april 6th for test and tune only.

 

Nice, I dropped most of my a/c, it got dark. Then I mounted up the ssra, definitely felt a difference driving around.

 

nice man... weight has a big effect. I cant wait to see how the car feels in a week. Dropped 350lbs since stock..

 

Next thing you know you'll have kirkey seats lol jk

 

haha nah.. i love my seats. I am running out of weight to remove though. Besides flywheel and lightweight gears... there isnt much left. Im sure ill find more though. I refuse to touch the interior

 

My other cousin lived in Lyndhurst, so I definitely recall running there, it was the last light by the Burger King, heading towards Rt3, right?

We also liked going to Newark, and Rt21.

But my favorite was Spring Valley, NY. Just over the border, at the very end of the Parkway. Many a Sunday nights into the wee hours of Monday were spent there.


There is not much I miss from NJ, but the car hangouts seemed to be more frequent, and having Island, Englishtown, and Atco for dragstrips.

I actually grew up in Hawthorne, and lived for a number of years in Wayne.

 

Good times in Spring Valley and down in Toms River.

 

Carbon fiber hood/trunk? Buy hole saw drill bits phaggot and get to work!

 

seems like there will be a good amount of people showing up if it happens... hopefully it holds together. ill change my plugs this week and talk to alfred.
