i was on my way home from a night out when i pull up next to a blue c5 zo6 with aftermarket wheels and a younger guy driving. i was actually going to switch to another road but i figured he might want to play so i changed my route a little.....

after we travel a few miles he pulls up and says " let get on the interstate". so im like, "yea, lets". so we get on the interstate and do 2 runs, both 2nd gear starts around 30 mph. the first run i get him by about 2-3 cars, most of the pull coming from my 3rd gear. the second run he stuck in a little better and i only got him by about 1-2 cars.

we pull off and start discussing... turns out he had intake, exhaust and a tune. he said the only reason he wanted to run was because he smelled race fuel in my exhaust.... i guess i have some residual because i have gone through probably 2 tanks of 93 since i ran the 110...

 

great kill..
what is your set-up?

 

yup, RWP?

 

Nice kill, in for specs on the s2k.

 

I did some research he is around 400RWHP+

 

i have an inlinepro setup and 3mm hg... the 400 h.p. is actually at 1 bar, and i run around 8-9 #'s on the street.. i havent dyno'd it myself yet but im pretty satisfied

 

nice kill. 1 bar is pretty high for sc

 

Inline Pro = Turbo. Not SC.

Good kill Non the less.

 

1 bar is also 14.7lbs of boost. Any s/c besides the kraftwerks can make that much power

 

...so the race clearly started at 30mph, but at what mph did you guys shut down? or were you implying that you shut down at the top of 3rd gear? if so, what mph is that?

depending on the model year, the C5 Z06 made either 385bhp (~330whp) or 405bhp (~345whp). intake, exhaust, and a tune will put them around the 400whp mark easily. so the fact that you pulled like you did on a car that's making very similar power and only weighs 200-lbs more than you is amazing - especially since you went from a roll not a dig. since you started both races the same exact way and got different outcomes, i suspect that, with a little more practice, the Vette owner would be neck-n-neck with you.


nevertheless, nice kill. and way to represent the turbo S2K crowd.
