so i caught a zo6 on the highway yesterday. we started about 50 mph. i down shifted, we stayed together for a second then i was gone. nothing else to say but DAMN

 

I godda ask: 1) you were in Stewie, not like an R1 'r somethin'?
2) . . we're talkin' speck-in-the-ZO6s-mirrors gone, right bt?
Be well.

yes I was in my turbo charged S2K. I know what a Z06 looks like. i love the car. i would buy one if insurace wasnt so expensive. It was brand new, still had the paper tag when i came hind it reving my engine

 

If he had a paper tag, his engine probably wasn't broken in yet.

 

I believe what you said happened, but I think only one of you was racing.

 

That was my thought as well.

 

well i believe he was racing when he honked hos horn 3 times. any of you guys ever experience 412hp at the real wheels in you S let me know. you may understand

 

hey 412hp is a lot of horses guys.

 

agreed, 412 is alot of ponies for an S.

 

 

Lets see the dyno sheet? 412 hp should not pull away from a new zo6 considering you have half the tq he has and half the tire. No way were you gone if he was racing. Just because theres a type r thread on this site right now doesnt mean we are all ricers.

 

remember weigh ratios come into play. any body know the weight of a z06>? Oh and lets be seriouse we are all a little guilty of 1 or 2 street races no matter from a dig, roll or just a random dude on the highway..... So please define a ricer???? Thats just dumb on your part that because he has a power packed s2k you gotta call him a ricer? stop sipping the hater-aid and give him the benefit of the doubt. oh here are the specs

2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06--V8 (7.0 Liter) Specs

Curb Weight: 3132 lb


STEERING:

FUEL ECONOMY:
EPA City/Hwy MPG: 16/26

So a z06 has 505hp? thats hopefully at the wheels? right if not i can see the stewie at 412 at the wheels stick with him.

 

I feel the Z06 is faster, even with the weight, i mean you said it your self
ENGINES:
Standard Type/Displacement: 7.0-liter pushrod 16-valve V-8
Power and Torque: 505 hp @ 6300 RPM, 470 lb-ft @ 4800 RPM

big numbers = fast car LOL, I'm interested in his turbo those are some kick *** numbers, how many PSI are you running?
and the numbers are they seat of your pants or are they from a dyno

and keep it civil guys

"Thats just dumb on your part that because he has an s2k FASTER than yours you gotta call him a ricer?"

from being around "ricers" (guys who buy a civic and slaps a big ugly wing on it and really don't know much about cars and think an off the shelf intake and a fart can will give then 15hp and worship the letters "JDM") there is alot of bench racing and tall stories

and by the way s2000isu didn't call him a ricer

so if you want to rip on me now thats cool

 

Naw no ripping intended thats just how i percieved it i guess

 

"Thats just dumb on your part that because he has an s2k FASTER than yours you gotta call him a ricer?"

I didnt call him a ricer I stated that I am not a ricer so you can not lie to me and expect me to believe it. Is that clear?

First of all big deal if his is faster I think I realiazed a long time ago I will never have the fastest car period and guess what I havent lost much sleep over it. Basically my point is he claims to have a fast car with this and that. If you have read all of his posts youd have a better idea of why I am lifting the bs flag nice and high.

I didnt bring hp to weight ratios into it for a few reasons the z06 only weights 300 more has around 60 whp more and double the tq.

 

'At's 'n awful lodda heat considerin' all the ifs, maybe's, could'a/would'a/should'a/might'a beens n' all the rest'a the vagueries involved in a "street race" where ya don't even know who the other feller is, let alone exactly what it is that the other feller'z up to.
If it ain't on a track where you're fairly certain whut everybody'z there for (N' even then there can be all kind'z'a variables) it really is one big crap-shoot'a guesstimatin'.
Given the right set'a circumstances, any (As in any) car can "beat" any other car. But, if it ain't 100% that they're both 'nads-out racin' ya kin beat'cher gums into guava-jelly n' it don't mean diddly.
Now return to your respective corners n' come out swingin' (Aaaay! We all godda have a hobby, right?)
Be well.

It is an amazingly quick transformation from a stock stewie to a 412hp tire boiling monster. More power to ya, btstone, yet I can see Isu's point.

But even at 412hp in the stewie, very few cars leave a Z06 in the dust. Ok, no car I can think of actually leaves the chevy stone cold like that.
I could understand if it was close one way or the other, but if it went down that way, there was no racing going on.

Hey Morg, is that disbelievingly civil?

Best Regards Guys,
jagg

 

Don't know what beats what, but if I paid $66,000 for any performance car and got beat by a Honda I'm either sleeping, stupid, or on my way back to the dealer to bitch about it.

 

NICE LOL

 

Don, izzitt possible ta be all of the above?
'S'good ta have ya back Hell.

 

sure it is, I just don't think its necessary to jump all over someone and start with the name callin' because of a point of view

I like how everyone has different points of views, but when it gets to the point of name callin' and arguing on a forum as great as ours it sucks
this website is the best I've ever been on all our members are great and we all get along, if we start up with all that crap we start to look like all the other forums (which will go un-named) and that would suck. most everyone on here who has been here a while knows what I mean

what a rant LOL

 

you say it like a man H.O.W.

regards,
jagg

 

Aye! It doth suck . . eth.

 

Jus' curiosity bt, ain't doubtin' nothin', okay?
But, did'j'ever line up at a street light n' give the other fella the impression that you were gonna go for all the marbles n' then, jus' ledd'm go hell-bent-fer-Lexington when the light changed while you jus' casually drove away?
Jus' too many maybe's man.
Be well.

The s had 412 at the wheels according to the OP. That mean about what? 450 at the crank? That means he's 50 HP short and about 200 lbs lighter and tons less in torque. If anything the Z06 should walk away on a rolling start because of the torque and then hold that distance based on HP.

My conclusion is 1) either the guy didn't get on it because it is still new 2) doesn't know how to drive it yet because he just got it and it is still new 3) got a great laugh and wanted you to think you had furry ***** by letting you think you beat a Z06 just so he could go to a Corvette forum and laugh at how a Honda thought it beat him.

Whatever the case, congrats on your "kill".

 

Now THAT'S funny, I don't care what anybody sez.......

(my wife just came in the room asking me what I was laughing about)

 

DAMN Vinny LOL

 

Sorry peeps didnt mean to cause a problem, just stating my point of view.

 

I will post pics for you guys of my turbo soon. And a dyno sheet.
No one has accussed anyone of being a ricer and nor was i treating anyone like a ricer. just you guys dont know how fast the car is. it is rediculous. because you dont have you doubt others and that is sad.
412 at the wheels is lik 480 at the flywheel. and i weighed in at a little over 2500 lbs. every 100 lbs in 1/10 of second. and i didnt just leave like he was driving the other direction but i did pull away. remeber we started at 50mph. i have a 67 mm turbo, ported head, 880 cc injectors, my intake is ported, 67mm throttle body, lowered compression to 9:1, plus im runing with AEM...basically "my **** is fast!" Non of you can even attempt to understand how fast your S is unitl you put that power on it. I will takes some pics for you guys and post pics.

and yes it was a really fast transformation. i bought the car for the way it looked. she is very sexy. couldnt stand how slow she was so i fixed that problem. this isnt that bullshit greddy turbo system people buy this is the real deal. plus i can up the boost and go faster if need be

 

Enough said.

 

you should take her on some really nice twisty roads, thats where this car really performs and excels, when you hit a 15mph coner at well over 45 and stick it all the way around thats the stuff dreams are made of(and me myself think this car is fast for a 2.0 4 banger thats just me)

and I have to say WOW 480 at the crank what are you running in tq? should be on you dyno sheet and what are you at with psi how high?

 

torque is low at 323. this is all at 12 psi. I have 10 inch wide tires in the back so when i turn to hard it scrubs. so i dont usually try to go really hard in a turn. I do want to take her to road atlanta or something like that. i kept the factory wheels for that reason. and yes it was fast for a 2.0 4 cyl, but not fast for a sports car in general, very fast in the import world but i want to be on the eropean level of fast

 

lets see a time slip of that horrid 13.0, since we are doing dyno sheets. LOL!
it i pat 5k for a power adder and did 13.0 i would be angry at others who succeed in there set-ups too. much love to you guy, we all cant get it right all the time. no disrespect to anyone, i just hate everyone discarding me when they have no idea of how fats the S can be. Everyone has theories but only a few know

 

Vinny - I am falling off my chair from laughing at your response!

 

when the "S" first came out it was one of the quickest sports car in its class range, most of the other sports car makers pepped up after Honda released it, but not Honda they weren't trying to "keep up with the jones's" so to speak, for what the "S" is and the price it was, people got more bang for the buck

Hey John, are you going to join us saturday?

 

Here is my slip lets see yours. The dyno sheet too. By the way I didnt spend 5k and I am trapping pretty good compared to alot of sc s2000's so why should I be mad? I drive a s2000 if I wanted 11's I would have purchased a mustang. So stop with the talk and start with the proof. By the way what do you recomend taking out of my car to get it to 2500 like yours?

 

A quote from Motor Trend magazine's test between a Viper, GT500 and the Z06............

"The Z06 took top honors at the dragstrip, blitzing from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds and blurring the quarter mile in 11.7 at 125 miles per hour (despite a sometimes balky 2-3 upshift). You must, at least once in your lifetime, experience having your head pinned back by acceleration like this. From the outside, at full throttle the Z06 sounds like an offshore powerboat running through a storm drain."

 

AGREE

 

WOW, that "Bull greddy turbo" system as you put it can do what you have accomplished "12lbs". By the way I'm getting one of those "bull systems." I have now doubt that you have done what you have stated, and your set up is nice. Why is it that when someone has something nice,"we" bag on others stuff? NOt just a question you btstone but in general to everyone.

Oh just for G.P. I raced a 98 Turbo Z28 on the hwy yes, i know some will be up set about that but I DID! Anywho, I got dragged bad. Yes, i lost! And injoyed every min of it.lol.

 

Can't we all just get along?


Let's see if we can move along now folks. You are welcome to take it to PM's if you like.
