If I had internal engine mods the gap would be much greater. Just remember Hio, anything you can do to the vette can probably be done to mine as well.

I realize that. I also realize how much more potential that c5z has vs you. The fact that he didn't outrun you with a cam only tells me how far off his set up was. Solid bolt ons in a c5z is more than enough to thrash a 5br0 like yours.

Ask me how i know

V8EATR

Well its faster than it was without a cam. Guess he chose the more traditional method for speed instead of the Hio remove all safety equipment, hole saw car to death and motor swap it.

Well......apparently your dumbass hasn't been paying attention if you think that's all that really goes on

Cough cough phils 5gen.

Just shows wtf you know eeh

Just swallow it?

Hio - - - Speaking of Phil's fif gen, is he gonna get another one?

V8EATR

I don't have an electric water pump or a fancy triple disc clutch but I guess we will just have to see who's faster..

And he didn't have geared to death and a lighter car. Your point was?? ....oh yea is your point.

Idk what phil is gonna end up with. That car ran good. Thrashed a 117 mph coyote on the way home from a roll.....like bad. That was with me in the car vs coyote in his race form.

I wouldn't mind seeing him do another 5gen. 10s with bolt ons is very much doable. But it seems to be much easier to get there with the other cars he has been looking at.

My car is geared from the factory, I know that's hard to understand.

Yea....they're geared pretty good from the factory. Only gm cars that have been geared well for drag racing or atleast not way undergeared is the newer stuff. You furd guts are reaping the reward of that

how the hell did that ls3 4th gen manage to run with low 120 mph cars? Has to be the slowest H/C 3250lb car on the planet. Also that is pretty slow for a cammed C5Z aswell.

V8EATR

The z is a 228/231 cam, long tubes and tune. It's just a road course toy. Only reason for the cam is the car has 160k and was burning oil badly so he did a stock rebuild with the cam. I'm fully aware a bigger cam/fast would have changed things around a bit

CAM ONLY C6's with a cam that size are high 120mph cars or low 130mph cars depending on DA etc... Remember you're stating that this 4th gen has heads and weighs less if not the same as a C6. there is something very much wrong with that car.

V8EATR

Wtf are you talking about? This was me vs a c5z.

the original post dick face

V8EATR

Commenting on a race posted last year, gotcha. That 4th gen went something like 11.2@124 na with a nitrous converter and went 10.0@13x on some spray.

What's wrong with the mods this C5Z has now? Is it "wrong" for a guy being satisfied with minimal or basic mods and not really wanting to spend tons of man hours and/or tons of money on just "bolt-ons"?

Why do you feel you must be a bitching GM cheerleader every time a GM product isn't exactly modded the Hio way? Every single GM car has to be modded exactly how you see fit for you to be happy, or you bitch about. That's gotta be some sort of disorder or syndrome.

Btw, OP's car also doesn't have the "solid bolt-ons" you speak of.

Not for nothing but if i had a c5z and i wanted to go as fast as possible id sit down and listen what HIO has to say, people get butthurt about HIO's opinion because of how they come off but he has the LS bolt on cars figured out, i think him and robz on the upper east side are the only 2 guys to do it.

Look at big hammer he's in canada and HIO helped him with his car look what it traps, look at what nathans stock manifold car trapped when i used to have my firebird, i think i remember it traping like 117 or something?

V8EATR

My car and many others would go as fast as Hio or faster with a <3200lb race weight with a faceplated trans. Nothing magical there. He definitely knows what he is doing, no one is arguing that but not everyone wants to remove the air bags and hole saw their car to death.

For LS cars its not as easy as that. Its alot more to do with the clutch and maximizing every bolt on. Nathan, nor hammer had/have a faceplated trans. If it were as simple as that we wouldn't be discussing the C5Z being such a shitty performer.
