hes the master at the strip

 

Some of you guys are missing one very key point mentioned in the original post. RWHP... Unfortunately which tranny was used was not mentioned, so if we assume the F-Body made 400 RWHP through an unlocked A4 it is much closer to the C6 Z06 460 RWHP through an M6 than some of you are figuring. If we use the fall back numbers of 25% loss through an A4 with a loose converter compared to 15% loss through an M6, then all of a sudden we are comparing a 533 HP F-body to a 540 HP Vette. I think it would only take some minimal suspension work and some minor weight reduction on the F-body to make up that defecite. That said, throw a good clutch, some sticky tires and find a way to get rid of the TM on the Vette and its a whole different race. No matter what, I would still much prefer the C6 Z06.

 

I dont see the point though, if cobracommander is comparing a gutted, huge stall, built rear, built tranny, full suspension 400 rwhp fbody on a sticky tire then yes it could beat a stock c6 z06 on a street tire in the 1/4 mile, but what the **** is the point? A shopping cart with an ls1 strapped to it could do the same to both, but whats the point? Its just stupid to compare the two...

 

is it even a question?

 

Somone on the the other forum was asking how much rwhp it took, and people were spouting off 500 rwhp and such. I couldn't care less about how streetable it is.

 

damn 427 ci with superior heads intake lighter weight vs 346ci what do you think .
how many threads does there have to be . Imagine what Lg's vette runs with 623 at the tires . And John Force would take anybody here in his 8,000hp Mustang so what.

 

Right if your talking roll racing with a full weight f-body youd need 500+ rwhp to pull on the c6 z06. 1/4 mile race it would be a different story and you could beat a stock z06 on a stock tire with a 400 rwhp fbody, but how much would be left of the car? I mean you talking about a built drag car with 400 rwhp and significantly lightened against a stock c6 z06, which doesnt make much sense to compare because you are comparing two cars built for totally different purposes. Hell you could be that same 400 rwhp built fbody with a completely gutted 300-350 rwhp notchback mustang with a built suspension/rear/stall/etc, but what does that prove?

 

lmao.

 

No way man.

 

I misread the question and was thinking of a "C5" Z06 and voted for the 400 rwhp F-Body. A C6 would blow it away.

 

thats bc u cant afford a 85k car.

it is all relative, if u make 150k a year you would prolly be driving a c6 zo6 then a ls1 fbody that can be purchased for 7 or 8k nowdays.

 

^^^^True dat! My mods cost more than what I paid for my car used. I can stomp C6 ZO6's on the street all day but I'll still trade my SS for one in a heartbeat if there was a chance.

 

car vs car i would say the Z06 would lead but by small amount of land.

driver vs driver, anything can happen.

 

C6 ZO6 FTW

 

the only way that 400rwhp would beat or have a chance with the c6zo6....iz if he had alil red button that made ur car go from 400 to 500 rwhp

(N20) for the newbs

 

Psychologically you are angry at those who CAN afford such cars. So you bathe in self-denial by thinking of the entire car in one dimention.

The two cars I see myself having sooner rather than later: Mercedes SL-65 and Ferrari F-430 Spider.

Yes, my Camaro can smoke both of them; just because it can however doesn't mean its better than my two choice "turds" as you would refer them to be.

 

That you don't need 500 rwhp to beat one at the strip

 

My f-boby 3100lb car puts down 360 rwhp and goes 11.30's at the track and leaves harder on the streeet so yes a 400 rwhp f-body would would beat a stock c6

 

not stock c6,

a stock c6 zo6

 

that would make it a 500rwhp fbody,

question is about a 400rwhp fbody,

please stay on topic or make ur own thread
