The modded integra is in no way guaranteed a win over a C6 Z06.
That is so not true....the WHP:weight ratio says otherwise...Sheesh, don't you know anything?




(yes, comical sarcasm folks).

Wait...how much does a C6Z weight?

I guess I should have clarified before I opened my big mouth. I meant from a roll. As was stated already... yes high hp fwd are gay and useless from a dig except at the track. You guys need to give me a break... I only have 6 passes on slicks 13.0 @ 122 12.8 @ 124 12.4 @ 124 11.7 @ 128 11.4 @ 128 11.4 @ 130 then I got the boot. I was constantly improving.

No doubt you built a fast car.
Stock C6Zs can trap 123mph+ stock.Maybe you should call out a local Vette driver and post a vid.

So we line up, he doesnt know what i have going on, no idea what was under the hood. So i said just go, ill catch up. he kept bugging me about 3 honks, i kept insisting that he just go. SO, he finally takes off, spun a bit , i left off idle. I took off he was out about 1.5 cars, broke the 275//50-15 drag radials off about 3500rpm, let off, got into it in 2nd, spun some more and put it in drive and lugged it around 3500rpm. Started pulling him really hard, by about 4500 in drive i was going around pretty fast, took it up to about 5500, around 115mph i suppose. Had about 8 cars on this guy. Anyways he was pretty cool about it and pulled up beside me, "Holy ****, whats in there anyway??" So i told him he was pretty blown away about it.

Lined em up again and he wanted a few spots. I said just go for awhile, ill come later. sure enough, i took out his 5 car lead and put a car on him by 125, Fun night.

Nice run(s).

Try a (correctly) modified one for your next race - the results may just suprise you...

Improving each pass is always good.

I must say though..........Roll racing?...come on....that should only happen if you have no choice. Choosing to roll race is ricey (AND, I say that to the domestic guys too).

I have a vid where I raced a C6 Z06. It was a really good race.... just sucks cuz it was at night. We raced again after he stepped it up with headers and tune 500rwhp. I was making the same and beat him by 4 CLs that time.... which goes to show how much of a factor weight is!!!

That car was clearly getting burned.You got pulled until .05 of a second left in the vid and its not even clear.You barely got even close to the back of that car before it goes off from a crap angle.LAME

First off...I wouldnt' own a FWD car..and try to pass it off as a performance car. Then try to show the world I was cool by spending more money to go just as fast as a RWD car.
Second...No...it wouldn't change really quick..do to my reply in 'First off' and I like Drag racing, not *** racing.

yeah my car was missing you can hear it miss one last time then it cleans up for some reason, and I start pulling on him hard. I barely edged him at the bridge by about a half a car. BTW what is lame?

13 g's for my car 5 years ago. 25 g's under the hood=38gs...... C6 Z06=70g's what rwd car did I spend more money to go the same speed as. I just wanted it to be a fair race. I raced him in low boost. A press of a button and this isn't a race. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make..... or if you're just being mean.

Heres where I call you a homo.No person I have ever met with a turbo car,EVER willingly raced someone in a decent car and didnt get the most out of the PSI.Youre trying to say you knowingly detuned your car to race a fast car?


You are LAME

Straight up.Look....this thread was a Mach1 topic.Now due to an import somehow derailing this,we are way off.A buddy of mine used to have a Mach like in the OPs story.That car sounded good.



It was you that prevented this topic from being viable.You raper of Z06s,crusher of high dollar automobiles.You V8 punisher

nice kill and nice sig!!! at least the mach owner was cool and wasnt crying.

on a seperate note. "gsrhunter" you are on the wrong site to be talking **** about how your FWD Japanese car with god only knows what done to it that runs mid 11's can "rape" a RWD American car stock that runs high 11's bonestock and mid 11's with simply DR's that many people on here including me worship like god.

yes it was cheaper for you to make your car go as fast as a STOCK Z06, but it would also be cheaper for me to make a gokart go as fast as your car. That being said my gokart wouldnt be as nice as your car just as your car is not as nice as a Z06.

sorry if you think we are being jerks but you are deffinitely in the wrong place to talk about your car beating a Z06
