Seems like a lot of power to put to the ground in a IRS car. Good luck with that, the power should be the easy part!

SW will still beat a 1500-1600 rwhp Corvette, even on regular Z-rated non-drag tires. You don't have all-wheel-drive. You already had traction issues at your current power level, with an automatic trans to absorb some of the shock loading.

Time for an AWD car with that power goal. Power isn't the problem, getting it to the ground is.

RCC

Damn Tony dont pee in my cheerios yet. We are going to work on the power delivery also, probably a boost by gear and program the eboost to bring boost in gradually. The last few outings with the car we didint use a controller so it just made all the boost from the get go.

This round of upgrades is not being purpose built to race one car/person, I have the foundation already installed and I hate to start over without seeing what it is actually capable of.

I know what you are talking about with the awd setup, but I have decided to push my vette and see what it can do before I move on to the next project.

Damn, that automatic set up in the ZR1 would put me in the low 9's....im just saying

RCC

I have what you need, you have what I need...

ProStreet_632

I know, but man I couldn't do that to the ZR1, even though I would I like to have that auto in it just to take it to the track...

RCC

I know dude, I was kidding with you, wouldnt think anyone would cut up a ZR1.

Then I take it that you will be willing to make a nice sized friendly wager on that. We can get it done at the mile or in mexico

**** I would cut that bitch up.

ProStreet_632

You are killing me Josh, I know you would cut it up just so we can run low 9's with it. Now if they ever make a C7 ZR1 and I get 1, then the 09 will get the auto put in it

I wouldn't bet against RC's or SW's cars, since I consider them both to be friends. C6 Corvette isn't a drag car Josh, you guys are adding more power and a more efficient transmission that bangs gears instead of having a converter slip...to a car that already has traction issues.

Might have to start roll racing at 150 mph

Convert your corvette to a dually and run 4 slicks in the rear. DOUBLE TRACTION!!!

Stop making so much sense Tony. It's making too much sense.

Josh are you listening?

RCC

Well all I can say on that logic, is whats the use in modding a car at all then.

based on Tonys logic, howd that FGT run what it ran at the mile in Miami? 1600whp in a rwd car, and if you watch the vid closely you can see the massive traction problems it had and yet it still pulled a 253 mph pass. Tony im not saying your wrong but it can be done, just not easily.

RC go for it with all youve got, just think of every way there is to get more traction with standard w rated rubber lol

A lot of things "can" be done. But can those things be done safely? Since you referenced that FGT video, there is NO way I'd consider that car putting the power to the ground safely. Neither was the Gallardo that went 250. Both basically skated down the track with hardly any traction, lifting to shift at very early RPM to keep the cars straight.

So tell me, was it lack of traction or lack of power that kept those two cars from going faster? Both had far more power than they could use effectively. At some point, adding more power doesn't improve things - when you don't have the traction to utilize the power.

Would the 1600 rwhp FGT have ran quicker with 1500 rwhp and full traction? Hmmm....

rc do ur damn thing haha!! cant wait to see it prove some nay sayers!!

2 SLOW

fixed

I don't know how much faster the car can really get. The money spent goes up exponentially but can the same be said for the speed?
