Just saying people talk about raping Corvettes, I want to see it. Talk talk talk ... no walk.

I am simply stating that the LS7 is nothing to fack with. And sorry but your 300HP tC ain't cutting it. The C6 Zo6 is a 10 second car with drag radials.

stock z06 vettes have awesome highway pulls but very possible for a 350hp to 400+hp tc to give comp. those hp levels should be a cool stop light to stop light race

I have seen them beat before. Ive driven one and they are badass for sure. Plus i see 1,000,000 kids driving daddy's company vette a day living in detroit. I'm well aware of what they can do. Now I have beaten and non z06 vette from 60. Plus most vette owners suck at driving thier cars.


Back on topic!


Get Turbo and never look back....thats my 2 cents.

Does it matter what I am pushing? Is that relevant to what my argument is?

And sorry if you were racing a C6 z06 ... unless they weren't racing ... you wouldn't have "murdered" ANY stock or modified C6 z06 unless your car has 400+WHP. So when you can show me a video or a dyno sheet that says you are pushing 400whp+ ... save it.

I am a tC driver just like you but I know how to be realistic, and if you ACTUALLY raced one ... and he was racing ... you would be singing a different tune right now.


DID YOU NOT JUST SEE WHAT I WROTE .... 10 SECOND CAR ON DRAGS >>>>> STOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from a roll and from a dig are 2 completely different stories...we can take vettes from a roll no problem...from a dig would be a good race.

Anyway, I'm having some issues now, but I dont' regrett it cause I went with TT and Todd is a stand up guy that is helping me out a great deal.

The only thing I regret is when I took my tC to Todd's tune shop, they had just finished up an Evo X...
...I had to add an entire turbo kit to add 100-150hp and all they did was increase the pipes (intake, IC, exhaust) and gove over 100hp out of the Evo X! talk about potential!

um...java? Me or flnt?

anyway, according to modernracer.com, the C6 is a 12.7 sec car, and their times are usually their best, not the average, so that means a good driver.
I've seen plenty of 12 second tCs, but my point is, if I'm driving a $45K sports car, I dont' want to see a 4banger econobox anywhere close to me, let alone passing me!

Yeah, I figured as much...I just said that to give you a hard time!

Now, I haven't gone up against any vettes, but I have done a few Mustang GTs which I realize are only listed at 300hp, but my whp at the time was 252, and I completely anhilated it from a roll, but my problems with traction from a dig made it a much closer race.

elevation here is 4500 ft and a n/a zo6 usually runs low 13's on good tires with a good driver. my ls teg ran a 12.3 with the wrong size slicks,having to shift into 5th gear( usdm type r trans) and it only had 302whp.so im sure when my tc puts 320 to the wheels,i wont be too worried about vettes....at the track that is.plus turbo tc=20k vs zo6 vette =60k
