What kind of tires and vht?

What is this; a gran turismo video game thread? "If I build this car . . . can these cars (mostly of unknown power output and set-up) beat it?"

The easiest answer to your question is anything with over 600 rwhp will beat your set-up Achieving that number is not very difficult; I have.

You will NEVER have an "unbeatable" car, but if you wanna have one of the fastest rides on the street, you better start with a LOT more then just some simple bolt-ons.

Far from the truth. Againt a 550 rwhp Z06:

A 601 rwhp GT500/Cobra would be toast.
A 601 rwhp SL/CL 65 AMG would be toast.
A 601 rwhp LP640 would be toast.

Want me to keep on going?..

I think you forgot about weight when you posted that statement.

thanx for all the replys, except the one about the space shuttle.
own a cl55 amg and bolt-on 06 vette. both are for sale and i would like to get into something else. about 9 out of the 10 cars are way waaaaayy out of my pice range, and will prob never be able to aquire. i just wanted to see here(since you guys own these things and have real world data) if the cammed z could beat or at least hang with a supercar(s)-john

Zlicious

BTW, the "no" in my post means they won't beat the Z06. Just making sure it is clear what I meant by "no".

12oh

never said the car would be ''unbeatable". i believe nearly unbeatable was used. no, this is not a video game gran turismo thread, as these supercars do exist- stock & modded. i live in vegas where these cars do roam the streets. its just a simple question(i thought). could a cam & bolt-on z beat or at least hang with some stout competition.

A z06 can hang with any of those, to keep it real, who ever has the most mods to a vechicle is most likely going to come out on top, when all these vehicles are so close when stock. I bet you my baby can whip all those! Im thinking a bugatti can be about the only one that can hang with me.

Key word is ANY. I wouldn't say "any" modded tt supra, tt rx7 or even tt 300zx. To my recollection, these were high 13's/ low 14's in the quarter stock. To get them into the 11's takes some effort.

Mercennarius

They were mid 13 second cars from the factory and all respond well to mods. It dosnt take as much as you think to get them into the 11's. But yes 80% on the road won't be a problem for even a stock Z06

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the GT-R as some have. Here's a video from a 11.67 run in Australia with a stock car. If this car responds to mods as well as the earlier cars it will be very competitive.

Not being a drag racer I was puzzled by their comments regarding the rev limiter. Can anyone explain?

Sorry, after reading it again the speed limiter set to 112 for Japan was the problem.

'06 Quicksilver Z06

It was forum member Jamie Furman who ran 10.981 @128.90 MPH, in a showroom stock Z06 on stock Goodyear runflat tires.

There have been 3 different people, 3 different cars, on three seperate days, and at two different tracks, to make it into the 10s in factory stock C6 Z06s but on drag radials. Jamie Furman, Ranger, Dr. Ron.

Ranger was the first to do it running 10.856 @ 129.50.

Take a look...don't cry. The Viper is stock. The C Z is not.
Both Fantastic cars. Both depends on the driver. Real close

Umm no, how bout you try shifting at 7000. Both my brother and I know how to drive extremly well, So i would think either the dyno your buddy was on is tainted or he doesnt know how to drive well.

Just for reference I've never been beat by another stock Z, beat tune and intake cars, only lose to cam, headers, intake, tuning Z by a car and a 1/3.

EDIT: the difference between your buddies car and my brothers car probably is that my brother shifts his car at 8500, Also im pretty sure his power is pretty much flat over 6800 at 530+ whp.

I hear you and basically agree. No argument. I guess I am basing the times I stated to various auto and internet rags I am familiar with. For instance, this is what I based my original reply on. C&D posted the following times in September '93:

RX7 tt........... 255 hp/ 217 ft lb............ 0-60: 5.3 1/4: 14.0
3000GT VR4.... 300/307..................................5.5 / 14.1
300ZX tt.........300 / 283................................5.6 /14.2
Supra tt..........320 / 315................................5.2 / 13.8

I know times vary from mag to mag, driver to driver, etc, and I don't mean to magazine race. These vehicles had large potential and were mod friendly. I don't knock them. I left American muscle in 1980 and turned to imports for the following 25 years. But most of what you see on the roads these days are over-inflated with ego rather than mods.

No one has mentioned 03/04 Cobras. I am telling you don't take them lightly. About 300 lbs lighter than a GT500 and many are making well over 600 rwhp courtesy of a Kenne Bell or Whipple. They have been around long enough that many are very modded. I know this because I have one of those 600+ RWHP Cobras.

SSPerformance

Well i have a friend from jersey who has a 9sec Evo. Don't under estimate the AWD.....An evo with exhaust and intake can pull 12.5. They are fast considering their 2 stage launching. you better be fast with that z06 man....

SSPerformance

hell i just built a 377 for some guys 68 with a 700r4 and it runs 11.2 all day..... without power add ons like NOS,Turbo, or SC...

Hardest part about driving an EVO though is telling your parents that your gay.

TomC

How enlightening. This comment is so carefully thought out and adds so much to this thread. Your parents must be very proud of you.
