I am in Grand Blanc, 10 mins South of Flint.

 

Your tuner is wrong. The Vette is not designed for high speed runs. The stock gearing is what limits it from becoming one. Yes it can reach 195+mph, but it takes forever for it to reach there. 1:1 in 4th is not ideal for high speed racing.

 

Let us know if you ever make it out to the lakeshore.

 

Good thread. Keep it cool and keep the vids coming. Nice rides btw.

 

Giving you props for posting this. That's a big *** turbo he has on that. Anyways, put some boost on that Vette and reshoot the vid, hehehehe.

Or slap a big ole lumpy cam in there.

 

The Vet does indeed run stronger at high speeds. What you are talking about is ULTRA high speeds, and you are 100% correct. Past 162, the Z06 doesn't accelerate. 5th and 6th gears are over-drive meant to save gas. But in 4th gear (125-162), the car pulls harder than any other gear.

 

Hey bud. Oh OK, I see. So what was your recorded boost when we raced? 26-27?

Your tuner is right. Like I said before, the Z06 really shines at higher speeds. But, when it gets too high of speeds, like anything past 162, that's when it starts to fall short because 5th gear is overdrive. 4th gear is my favorite gear (125-162 mph)..

You are more than welcome to drive my car anytime you want. It might feel a little slow compared to your beast, but will give you an idea what it is about. It's a of fun in the twisties and getting on the brakes as hard as you can from a 60 roll is a rush, LOL.

I am looking forward to meeting up with you again, brutha (Is it Tony or Toni?)

 

For sure man. You do the same if you are in this area.

 

Man! over 60 mph in first and 162 in 4th? thats pretty f'n sweet.

<Note to self...buy C6 Z06>

 

Its Toni..but 3rd gear i was at 27.4, 4th i was at 28.2, and 5th i was 28.8 peak...thats y i said 27-28...the higher gear more boost it will build.

I found out where it saved itself after u took off lol...i can run more but my tune is conservative and I don't wanna blow it up..this car gets expensive once u start breaking things n im very happy with it so far..


The turbo honestly isnt that big..well then again thats my opinion but compared to other supras its small lol...big is a gt45 or gt47


But hopefully ill be able to make it out tomorrow night to hang out with you guys in GB and see the race between u and the 350...

 

Got ya.

Ya man, you're more than welcome to come out. Talk to Dil and he will tell you all about it. I hope to see you out with us..

 

Hey man, thanks for the nice words.

So, what's your status with cars nowadays? Anything exciting going on with you?

 

Hey thanks for asking....Their is somthing somewhat exciting going on for me..

But Ill tell you in a PM about that car..

With my NSX I went out and did some personal testing with my FX2 timer..The first day I was trapping around 114...Then a few nights later I was trapping around 111 mph..Then a few nights later 109 and then 107 and 102 on other nights..

I was getting very underwhelmed so to speak...Afterall the first nights 114 mph trapps was pretty close to the 116 mph trapps I was able to pull in my then stock 99 Viper..But it kept getting slower and slower..

Sure enough my clutch completely went out...And I had to spend 1500$ just for the clutch...Then I still need to spend another 300$ for bearings and another 1000-1500$ to have it all installed...

So 3000$ just for a clutch job in the nsx...But I havent installed it yet because I may have a buyer who is redoing the hole car anyways and told me they'll put it in their self..

And then theirs the other car that I will PM you about

 

Cool, let me know.

 

GM should have given the c6z the same fifth as the c5z.

 

I went to school with Toni. He use to have a wicked fast stealth and a fox body before the supra. I see him a few times a week around town here. He is a really cool kid.

 

This is what I posted before!

He ran the car at the track and this is what he ran!
