well, he did lost to a car with more power, the sad thing is that he kept up pretty well to a car with a i'm guessing but about 40 - 50 whp advantage.

WTF is wrong with that 240? Traction problems? Bad driver? That 240 should weigh 500+ lbs. lees than that vette with supposedly 50-60 whp more and it is pulling like 2 cars on a stock convertible vette C6? BTW it sounds like **** too. But anyway nice vid.

True. He wants spray. So, we'll see.

I tell ya what, if a 240 started to even begin to pull ya it would tend to affect your driving ability if you had no idea what the car is capable of. Then we all know after a point there is no gettin that race back. Ohwell, cam and some spray will wake it up just fine!

I mean who cares... it's a modded car vs a stock car... all it takes is a cam and the 240 is way out classed, I have friends with sr's and they take soo long to get into boost, and that car is biult for drift not drag... so it's not a big deal

WS6 list of mods.

100lbs driver, major plus
FIKSE FM/5's
Nitto drags
4.10 gears
mild cam. mild ported 6.0 liter heads.
MAC headers, high flow cats, borla catback
lid....etc etc

Again, we don't have solid numbers of the ta cause of trans issues but, the car did go 12.6 on motor,..and I really don't remember the MPH.

The 240, from what I am told makes 560 on race fuel and high boost......but he was on low boost that night. Kinda pointless, this high boost, low boost **** though,...its like me saying my car makes this on a hundred shot, and this on a 200 shot.

Theres an obvious difference...

I know right...

We've switched drivers in the C6 before, and results do vary. The same guy he's loses against , we'll change drivers and well, the C6 will then win... Not all the time but, its happened more then once, or twice, ...

The 240 needs traction. The Vette took him out of the whole and thats with a newbie driver. Power without traction is almost useless. I dont know much about 240 suspension, but most of those guys tend to run nice alighnment settings for autox, as in some negative camber. Not so good for hole shot.

Is his car a drag setup? How long was that race?

Don't know "personally" the spec of the car,....i'm sure I can find out throgh the vines though. I think the car is aimed more at the 1/4 mile though.

...and our races are always a quarter mile, or more.

Yeah, that makes sense too, not a lot of 560WHP high boost autoxers

I am super impressed with the LS2. Might just have to drop one into a 240 heh. Somehow I dont think that helps the traction part though......

The "track" is actually longer then the quarter....should you decide to need it. It's usually a full quarter race.

I wasn't there personally there myself.
