[btstone84]

[Java Junky]

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.

[btstone84]

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

[s2000COP]

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.

[btstone84]

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

[RoCKet]

hey 412hp is a lot of horses guys.

[jagg]

agreed, 412 is alot of ponies for an S.

[s2000isu]

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.

[RoCKet]

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

BASE PRICE: $66,465

VEHICLE TYPE: front-engine, rear-drive; 2-door, 2-passenger hatchback

DIMENSIONS:
Total Interior Volume: 52 cu ft Cargo: 22 cu ft
Wheelbase: 105.7 in Length: 175.6 in Width: 75.9 in Height: 49.1 in
Curb Weight: 3132 lb


STEERING:
Turning Circle: 39.0 ft

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

Power and Torque: 505 hp @ 6300 RPM, 470 lb-ft @ 4800 RPM

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.

[HELL_ON_WHEELS]

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 ass 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

[RoCKet]

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

[s2000isu]

"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?

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.

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

[jagg]

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

[Java Junky]

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.

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 balls 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".

[DJJSR]

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)
