Gt500 vs CRX
 
Well ran my friends crx today it made 432 on the dyno last night and weights 1880lbs without driver.

88 CRX Built b16(84mm/sleeved), GT30R turbo, 27lbs

First we did a 50. I jump out hard and let off around 100 as he wasn't going to come back.

So I decided to make it fair for him because of his traction issues and we did a 60. He started pulling in 4th he let off around 135 about 1.5 cars out on me :cool:

Just an observation but you can see how impressive the GT500s are with bolt-ons. It takes that kind of combination of power (built motor/good size turbo) and weight (18XXlbs) to pull a car. Pretty cool, man. :hail:

That car should be pretty crazy given the power/weight, but the FWD just ruins it =(

I would say the contrary. GT500's are the most overrated cars on the planet. Lots of power, but so heavy they usually don't perform what people would expect.

AKa these bolt on 700whp+ 13' GT500's just keeping up with bolt on Z06's 200whp down. I mean, awesome power, but what is it when you have to move a vehicle that weighs as much as a small truck.

.

On the double contrary... being able to take down a bolt on z06 with a 4000lb+ race weight is still not an easy thing to accomplish. The problem is everyone down plays how fast a bolt on c6 z06 is. Its a fast car. And IMO anyone trapping less then 140mph with a H/C z06 is making some serious mistakes. Hell look at some of the full bolt on cars trapping mid 130s... Nothing should be taken lightly about a bolt on z06.

Yea it is pretty nasty I will post vids later. With him and a passanger it was about a 2250 raceweight. That other vid where he ran away from that 240 and 5.0 he was only making 323.

I appreciate it man. I was probably making 58xsae for the runs.

automach1 08-12-2013 08:18 PM

Vid is up.

Triple contrary: what do most 700 rwhp gt500s trap?

Depends but if it runs well 138+ in good da. So now can anybody answer my question about a 1880lb crx making 432?

LightningTeg 08-12-2013 08:41 PM

No brake boosting and crappy tires = bad day for CRX

Yea from the 50 but not from the 60 lol

Serious question how do you think you would do against a 1880lb crx making that power?

HioSSilver 08-12-2013 09:10 PM

I think that was one of the poorest displays a street racing I have ever seen.

Maybe but we will never know. He does have a 600+lb weight advantage on you. So any idea what a car like that would trap?

LightningTeg 08-12-2013 09:21 PM

Yeah but I dont spin.

He should be in the mid 130 range pretty easy I think.
