Default Mach1 vs. Z06 & TA

I got into a run with a buddy of mine in his 03 Z06 vette. It is pretty much stock except for a cold air kit. My car has built motor set up for a turbo so it is at 8.6:1 compression, It has custom comp cams for a turbo, LT headers, full exhaust, and 3.73 gears, and also a T-56 6spd trans. The car is N/A as of right now and is putting down about 340rwhp or so. We took off from a 50 hit to about 120. Neither one of us could pull on the other we were dead even the whole time. We raced a couple of other times and he slightly got the jump on me and was out by a car or less on me. Very close race.

The other night I raced PatriotT/A on here. He has a full exhaust, lid, small cam, 4.10 gear 6spd TA. It's putting down about 385rwhp. We hit it about 55 and I was out by about a fender on him at the top of 4th, the next race we hit it about 50 and by the top of 4th he had a fender on me. So I had two pretty good runs in with some nice cars this week.

sounds fun. just curious but im guessing his gears were hurting him from thos roll races. he should have steadily pulled with the better weight to power ratio over you. but then again 4.10s arent for rolls.

Something doesn't seem right, you have a heavier car with less HP and you kept up. HHHMMMM. Anything can happen on the street though.

Damn man, good runs and you must be a hell of a driver. Your car is sure to kill when your setup is dialed in.

Gotta raise the flag on this one. You aint keeping up with a c5 z06 unless he was a terrible driver that started a gear too high

No he is not a bad driver at all, and I am a very good driver. Plus my car isn't that heavy. It weighs about 3350lbs. Here is a vid of the z06 an me. He picked the roll not me. I wanted to go at a lower speed about 35mph.

My car weighs less then the TA does and it rolls out hard. Weight vs HP it is right on.

This doesn't make any sense if they (Corvette and TA) had any driving ability.
Congrats on beating shitty drivers.

The guy driving the Z0 has a Camaro that run bottom 6's He can drive. I wish I had the vid of the ta because both it was def. a drivers race. So don't hate, it's all good... BTW I saw those vids of your 11.95 sec. pass, Yeah I ran that fast with a bone stock motor with just bolt ons, gears, big and littles, and the car weighing 3400lbs with driver.

I'm not hating at all.

Do you not see how this doesn't make any sense?

How does your brick outrun a corvette from 50 to 120 with your amount of power and weight?

And then the TA which also has way more power than you and 4.10's.

You're a great driver because you told me you've driven your car into the 10's with 340rwhp/NA, full weight...

...me pulling on a 600+rwhp viper and the other is just at the local 1/8th mile track. It was a slower time for that day from blowing the tires off at the line.
You also pulled 600+rwhp Viper with your car with "about 340rwhp" and full weight...


Maybe I misread something somewhere, if so, then I stand corrected. But from your previous posts, **** just doesn't add up.

He has 340rwhp N/A or so he said in the OP.
He had a spray setup before this if I remember correctly.

I never said it had 340rwhp at that time. It had 520rwhp when it went 10's. The TA only makes about 40 or so more rwhp then I do and weighs about 200+ lbs more so it adds up. Plus my car runs alot stronger then one that had the same power. I don't really know why but it does.

Gotcha.

I do know your cars love Nitrous, even more than the LS1.

Yup and that was on the stock heads and cams... I have a totally different set up now. Like I said the car is set up for boost now. Not N/A or N20...

Looks like I do want some of your car since it doesn't run 10's anymore.

It'd be a great race. N/A of course.

It won't be N/A very much longer. the Turbo is going on in a few weeks.

Yeah but something isnt right here. A c5 Z06 weighs ~3100lbs and puts down the same or slightly more hp to the ground than you do. Im still thinking he started a gear too high.
