His car ran good. Barely got eliminated in the semi's. Fast lil rotary car. First time I've ever seen a rotary car make that many passes and not break. :ROFLJest:

It broke BTW. He was leaking coolant all over the runway. But kept in the race. Vic said it was spraying on his rear tire.

Doh!! Crazy fucker. 155-158mph with wet tires. That's nuts! haha.

Kind of goes to show you the advantage the vette has. Jshoot's car makes what mid 800 hp and the vette Sean was driving was around 720hp. Jshoot's car I believe went a best of 155mph and the vette with 100 less rwhp ran a best of 157mph. So if nobody believe the 100hp difference it was proved yesterday at RR.

Vic ran a best of 163.xx both vettes at the end broke out

I routinely trapped 133-134 with mine, running 3.55 gears. We set the rev limiter to 7400 and I crossed the line at 7200 in 4th. I personally think the 3.15 gears are going to hurt the 1/4 mile trap speed a bit, and I'm guessing it will be in the mid to high 120's. With the right tires though, it will be a LOT of fun on the autobahn.

That's what I said! Haha

3.15 gears, my tire size, transmission gearing, 7000 rpm will allow me to spin 4th gear up to 139 MPH. That's perfect for the trap speeds that this car will see. Although my car has not been weighed, it is not the average pig of a Mustang and has almost all of the light weight parts in the right areas. Steve, I believe your theory is flawed and I will prove it wrong. If for some reason I don't beat Zeek, which I highly doubt, I will stand corrected.

Why do you believe it to be flawed? Have you expierenced something different racing it? Ive spent a lot of time out and believe to be a pretty solid formula.

Maybe I missed it, what is Steves theory?

Zeek is going to drag that ass.

You say that a mustang needs to have 150 HP than a corvette to win. How is it that I've beat almost every corvette I've raced? I was NA and put a car and a half on a C6Z...I know several people that beat corvettes all day. I'm done going back and forth. Him and I are going to work through getting this arranged.

Doubtful

C6Z owner couldn't drive his way out of a wet paper sack, clearly. My bone stock 04 Z06 drug every single 5.0 at coit one night. Including full bolt on cars. Z didn't even have a tune

Good luck

You clearly have more experience than most guys. I know you can drive whatever it is your in. That being said, lack of driving on someone else's behalf, isn't my problem. Hence why some guys with less power can beat guys with more power. I think the race between him and I will be a good one. I don't think anyone is going to run away from the other. Time will tell though.

Was the c6z guy really old? Maybe he had artharites and couldn't grip the shifter very hard??



And I'll be more than happy to bet some money on this race if it ever happens. I'm a degenerate :/

You are right, drivers do make a big difference. The faster car doesnt always win due to driver error or lack of skill. That being said, even a monkey in a C6 Z06 should be able to drive around a NA 5.0. Hell, my car bone stock weighing a BUNCH more than a C6 Z06 will fuck up a bolt on 5.0 and a Z will beat me. Lol.

A stock c6 Z06 with a good driver can run 10.90s STOCK.

If you're talking about Rangers car, stock is a relative term. He did go 10.98 on the run flats, at MIR, on a 40 degree day, but that car is tuned within an inch of it's life. Stock? I guess you can call it LS stock. He did 10.70s with DR's by the way. Damn impressive run. But I wouldn't call it stock, and I certainly wouldn't capitalize the word.

What parts on the car weren't stock?

The part that counts the most, the ECM. I ran 11.60's with a "stock" 2012 GT. Stock air box, paper filter, stock exhaust. Only mod it had was a tune, so yeah, it was as stock as Rangers Vette.

Sounds pretty stock to me. A tune isn't changing parts, what hard parts are changed from factory?

So now stock doesn't mean stock? Good to know.

TMK Ranger posted times with the car untuned and tuned. I guess I don't understand all the confusion.

Maybe I'm weird, but I don't consider a tune a crazy mod, same with plugs and oil lol. Does water wetter count?!

Plugs and oil do absolutely nothing for performance, a tune is one of the biggest power adding "bolt on"...plug in mods

My car would probaly knock if i had the wrong plugs in it.....so your wrong imo

Typical LS think. Of course I'm pretty sure you consider anything short of changing heads to be stock lol

Modular motors make some people so bitter and angry..

Lucille's dyno numbers
 

Try throwing the wrong plugs in a little 2.0t Volkswagen and see how that works out. Lol. It's like running on two cylinders.

My definition of stock: driving the car off the assembly line, filling it up with gas and then going to the track.

So does stupidity

And stating that putting another tune on a car besides the one that comes from the factory and still calling it stock is pretty dumb.

Double post. Yay internets

:buttkick:

It's an inside joke between Bert and I you overly sensitive clowns. lol

Clown = owns a Caddy, LS nutswinger, makes fun of Mustangs, but still is an admin of a 5.0 forum lol

I prefer car nutswinger thank you cuz I like anything with lots of horsepower. lol I've had 15 Mustangs, still have one and will most likely at some point have another one. Not my fault you want to limit yourself. :)

For the record, I make fun of ALL my cars, including the Caddy. Don't be so sensitive.

I think all the "LS stock" stuff is hilarious. Some of those LS guys really believe that shit! haha.

"It's only H/C/I. Here's my receipt to prove it. All those engine parts are for my buddy's car."

It's the "cam only" guys that really make me laugh. The car can have a bunch of other shit done to it, but since the heads are untouched, it's "cam only".

"There was one?"

My 08 was cam and exhaust only.. nitrous of course when I used it. Dont count air filters anymore. Lol

If by "a bunch of other shit" you mean supporting mods for the cam, then it's pretty ridiculous to assume someone would only install a cam WITHOUT supporting mods lol.

I mean seriously, who would install an LG G5X3 cam and not upgrade to longtubes, better intake, IM, plugs, tune, full exhaust to take full advantage of the cam? Of course better heads would be optimal but, everything else is pretty necessary to use the cam without it being a monumental waste of money.
