Steve: I'm nearly stock if you wanna run some before/afters (mods.)
I have family in Murphy so I venture down that way every now and then.

Steve, I did a V6 swap. Lets roll.

That's some good weight reduction right there.

V6 swap with a special edition Homelite leaf blower. Fast as shit.

You're fine bro. Don't mind the BS. There is always at least one bad apple in a bunch. lol

LS1 stock? lol


Okay. But I want 10 and the wiggle.

Steve if you dont want to waste your gas, Ill run Grabber Matt in the ls1 stock Vette... Im up to dragging another grabber blue 5.0 down the road.:laughing1:

Don't tell that to Chris. 20" wheels. NTO5'R's.

Dude redline is less than a 30 minute drive. :snoopfacepalm:

Still bleh..the track is fuckin boring unless the group is going. I'm not interested in paying $25 bucks to sit in line all night long to maybe get a two or three passes in a slow car.

I wouldnt call it dragging........noone in our cars it would be close. And if hes got any mods hed proly beat you Matt

Coldair with restrictor in place and flows, stock ecu. What am I up against here?

More boring than sitting in a heated suite while watching other people hit golf balls and drink?

My, how times have changed, lmfao.

My math is off I guess... Me with passenger I lose qtr car, you with passenger I win by 4 cars... Half of that would be 2 cars? You're a great driver, I dunno this dude...

Regardless I'm down to give it a go if he's stock(ish).

It wasn't a heated suite really... Just not as cold as the open side.

I think Steve wants to run on the motorspeedways, not that he prefers Top Golf to racing. I agree, going to the track sucks, but everyone knows I don't care about racing from a stop (much). Waiting forever to run half a track(eigth mile) and spin violently from street cars dragging water to the line is annoying. Now racing at an event is fun like a bracket or heads up class event for money (Extreme 7.0 for instance, I'm very interested in this), but test and tune is lame unless you are tuning or testing a new mod out. Racing a slow unchanged combo over and over is pretty unexciting.

Don't read too much into it, I'm just rattling his cage.

Stock C5 hardtop, ls6 intake and mufflers. Runs low 8s in eigth, no sandbagging. Zeek and I ran one night, very close races. He has video somewhere.

:burnout:

:angels25:
What can I say, I'm laid back like that. lol.
Racer math? :facepalm:
Agreed completely. Sitting in line for hours is laaaaaaaaaaaame. At least at Top Golf you can hang out with friends BS'n, good food/drinks and hit a few golf balls for fun. :)

You think after 11 years on DFWM YOU are rattling my cage? lmao. Hardly.
I told you, Zeek can't drive. You should race Danny. He is the King of racing stock cars. He can rip off 7.9's over and over and over and over and over and over again..:signs8:

Were the Zeek runs from a dig or roll? what kinda tires?
I'm game if Steve goes too :favorites13:
it's for fun who cares

I agree, I can do that and you can't.

True, it's kind of hard to do that without going to the track which I have no intentions of doing anytime soon. lol

I didn't say you couldn't go fast. If either of those drivers were running slicks or even a thicker sidewall DR they would have gone faster. Sure, drivers make a huge difference. I cut a 1.6 60' with my NT05's at a prepped track. The nitto's are going to be better than a summer tire but you still can't "hook up" with 400hp on 20's on the street. Unless you have some serious suspension and driving skills. You know what I'm saying, the thicker the sidewall the more grip you're going to get.

He was on stock 235 18s, 40 and 50 rolls neither of us spun at all or missed any gears.

Matt, youtube search "5.0 vs FRC" its the first 3 videos.. When it was close I had passenger, when it wasn't Zeek had passenger.

Cool ill check them out tonight, I have an ls1 goat interested as well but hes only free on weekends
Are you going to InNOut?

Ps FRC helps, what do those weigh again?

My 99 weighed 3265 with me in it on stock wheels... This one is a loaded 2k with large HREs on it. I'm guessing 3335-3360ish.

I cut 1.6's on my 17" MT's and plan on doing the same at some point on my 19" MT's (albeit a different car).... BUT that's at the track with a burnout. On the street, they won't dead hook cold, but they do hook a LOT better than street tires and are quiet when they spin which is a plus. The cost and wear is a negative, but I only run them during the warmer months, so they'll last a couple of years probably.

I was shocked at the difference the passenger swap made on the FRC vs 5.0 vids

we were too... weight makes a huge difference, even at speed... power to weight ratio... makes more change in a slower car obviously since the ptw ratio is effected more.

didn't read the whole thread... read a few comments about people hating on the nitto invo's. The invo's handle and ride amazing. They aren't made for straight line grip. The invo's are the best tire i've had on my car.
