Sweet run!

Also don't forget this was a Z. So a 427 not a 376.

Great run..... Car rolls out DD! Looked like he played a bit at the end by lifting a smidge?

islander033

Thanks Philly!

Nope he was all in, all the time. He don't play.

good runs DD, nice to hang in there. he must have fallen out of his powerband on shift.

and i dont think a widebody's aero is that superior. maybe add ons by the owner has hurt his aero.

maybe you make more power at the time of the race.

what ever the reason, that was a great run for all of your disadvantages. TURBO YOU GOING TO NEED A TURBO. it was you that told me.

islander033

Thanks! My 4th gear pull is just more than his 4th gear.

Vette has weight and aero advantage over my fat brick. lol

Ya, not going terbo anytime soon on this car. That would lead to an auto....I've already got a car with both of them items.

Jelly of DD's sponsorships.

islander033

assasinator

you sir, are a pu**y


guess ill have to drop the terbo suggestion thing. most are just supercharging. im the exact opposite. im sick of my manual and want nothing to do with it.

islander033

LOL...if I didn't already have a terbo auto car, this one would be turned into one by now.

Why no turbo on it? Only reason is you have one on the faster one?

islander033

Turbo leads to auto, I've already got that car. I'm better off leaving it m6 and stay in a slower class if I choose to race it. No need to compete vs my other car in a faster class.

Thing is that it don't matter, I just race my junk., not like the youtube and internet racers in here. Yall know who you are!

That clears things up, I understand

150+ traps is dead serious and usually good for bottom 9s

Running 10’s at 150 is soft launch and soft shifting but serious power. That’s gotta be a ton of fun

Now if you had an A8/A10

islander033

Haha, anytime I go WOT in this car I'm just trying not to die.

MACHXLR8

That's what gives you the rush that keeps you coming back for more. We all know it's dangerous and stupid but we do it anyway. LOL

i hadnt considering commenting on the not dying thingg until now, although i did think about it every time you drive that brick to 200 mph.

you might want to consider aero and soon. its one thing to drive 150 mph at the track , and another matter entirely to roll race and stay in it past 200.

you see i have this friend here in huntsville who does 1/2 to 1 mile runs and does them at 240 mph.

he ran (past tense) a c6Z with a really big turbo and had a stock front end with a flat rear spoiler. Lane was running in the 240-250 mph range when the REAR of the car lifted and rolled over and forward. the car is gone.

he is alive. you need to consider making that car safer at speed. all s197s hold air under the hood.


BTW, everyone here who wants to think they make power, Lane's dad's C5Z makes 2400hp with a big single and 7 liters. its not really a LS. you cant get a single part in that engine at a chevy dealer.

hid dad's car has a lot of rear and front wing lol.

since i did a high speed datalog and the rear tires(street tires) started spinning at around 100 i havent gone back for more. ill pass.
