No one wants to believe this is possible! I've shown a number of people Tom's LS7 build with his corner weights (49.8f/50.2r), and they still think these swaps are killing the car's balance. When we get enough of them out there, I think opinions will begin to change.

Congrats on the registration! Can't wait to see the car finished.


P.S. I read somewhere you bought your car March 13th or 17th of 2007? I bought mine March 13th 2007... and we registered 3 days apart on S2KI... and now this. WEIRD!

nice!! awesome job, now save up and SC!

Whats the weight to power ratio here? are vettes same or heavier weight as the S?

 

if his car is indeed 2800, properly optioned c5 z06 or c6 base are only marginally heavier, 250~300 lbs. i am surprised his car weighs that much, but i am sure wegiht can be trimmed by removing the softop etc.

 

if it gets even lighter then you get even less traction

 

not with the proper wheel/tire combo... xyster, i am very interested in your car, i would very much like to duplicate it, although at ~2400lbs or so. my plan is to build the car for a specific scca class.

i was in georgia a few weeks ago for race, and unfortuneatly i had to get back home, otherwise i was going t look you up xyster. maybe next year....

if you can weigh the car with just the front wheels and then just the back, that would be great. i wish i was local, i would volunteer my corner weighting scales.

 

A buddy of mine has a V8 swapped S2000 and it came in at 49.8 and 50.2 and at 3028 with 200 lbs driver, widebody kit, 19 inch wheels and all fluids with a full tank of gas.

 

Ahh, damn. Eeriness broken.

That's right about when I made my initial deposit with Hinson to grab a place in line, though.

Dunno if you'll see it here or the other forum first, but I got to see Hinson's bracket for the Ford diff, looks good (click):
