716 at the wheels.....

I know I know I'd need to be Schumacher to make use of it. Just always wanted a S/C car, for a street/ track toy I'm happy.

As someone earlier said though the guys that have spent there money on seat time, seat time, seat time are waaaaayy faster than me.

Mine should be around 350 hp, perhaps 400 tq. Dyno on Wednesday!!! I have been doing my own tune and it is not to close yet. I did get out to the drag track and ran 12.31 at 112 mph. The rev limit was set to low though. The car weighs around 2800 now. The p/w ratio is fun and I don't feel the need to go further so more driving!!!

Specs in sig and I made a build thread too.

P.S. If you would like feel free to put the specs of your setup
260 HP at the rear wheels.

Stock LS1 with 110,000 miles.

I am the ballast for the car. If I get close to min. weight just a few more donuts fixes the problem.

What are the rules now?
Anything you do to mod the car adds points, once you exceed 19 points you are moved up a class. A z06 starts out with 7pts before any mods so not much you can do to the car.

Between 365-375, depending on which dyno you believe. It weighs 3276 with me in it. LG longtubes, halltech CAI, no cats are the only mods to the powertrain. It won the Texas regional time trials last year, A division, on R6 tires.

I'm a little late into this conversation, but using A6's adds 13 points. That alone puts you it TTS!

388rwhp means a minimum weight of 3376 lbs. (8.7 x 388hp)

If you want to stay in TTA, you need a "Plan B".

Check with your local TT Director.

I don't know, but I can stay on Scooter's bumper on the Grattan straight...which is fast enough for me.

You noticed how I was right side on the straight, to let you by? I wanted to study your lines, see how much air you got over the jump and such. Tryin' to put together a good video means I have to let people in front of me from time to time...
Srysly, your new track toy can motervate! Still watching the video's from that day, it was one of the best 3balls track days in a while. Even with the rain on Saturday.

Not if you run 275s in TTA. You gotta read ALL the rules.

543rwhp stock '10 ZR1. Feels about right. Needs more tire and driver mod.

Can you provide insight into this suggestion(removing the Vararam)? I'm curious what the reason is. Thanks!

aerodynamics. for the C5 closing off the fog light area or putting duct tape over the screens to decrease the aero drag of the car will increase the speed of the car a few mph, vs the so called the ram air effect of the v-ram.

I have 513rwhp and 492rwtq on a fully modded LS2. It is my cheat code to dominate intermediate hpde. With another driver, it would probably dominate advanced intermediate or even advanced. Just got Harry's lap timer to start working on driver mod.

If you have the cheat code for fresh 335/315 Hoosiers, you'll be all set.
