This is pretty funny.

Plan on coming up sometime in May, it'll be ready. Lets make a track day of it too. Can get a few of us to rent out Marion County on a Friday morning, and then go up to QS&L later that day.

We have a ton of Sales positions available. If interested, PM Linn.

I also know they say that the LS3's are making more then the 36hp difference they were suppose to get over the LS2's. They said something about the LS2's being slightly over rated. Which seems to be true being that a LS2 has the same power as the LS6's yet are a good bit slower. I got stomped by a LS6 Z in my LS2 06 Vette.

The second day I owned mine I took it to MCIR, which we all know is not exactly the best for traction, and ran a 11.70@123.79 or something like that. That was also with a 2,000 DA day. 3. Not sure

Good point on the we. We are business partners and happen to be building the exact same setups. Afterall, we are so competitive, neither one of us would let the other one build a car faster then the other one. Plus building the cars at the same time saves us a little money because we are purchasing 2x everything. I guess I could detail exactly what's in my car and then Mark could just copy paste my post so that the 'we' can be droped. Also, the 'we' incorporates IPS as well, since they have spent a ton of time in research helping us making the right decisions.

I pulled that up and got a pop up that wouldn't let me close it out.

Last year in the Z06 I dynoed at 500rwhp and ran 127.74mph w/ a estimated race weight of 3500lbs. Here is what it gives me 127.74 mph and a weight of 3400 lbs. rwhp = 481.9 fwhp = 541.46 power to weight (rwhp) = 7.06 power to weight (fwhp) = 6.28 And I did the 127's in DA's around 1200. So it would put that calculator pretty close on my NA car. I would guess it to be a little off if you were talking about a Supercharged/TT/Nitrous car though. Like My Viper Dynos at 666rwhp and only traps 130. So if I use that calculator and use the 130mph and 3750 race weight, it comes in at 560rwhp. There is much more to HP then Peak numbers.

We opted to skip the transbreaks for now as we are planning on running on drag radials only. And I don't think DR's will hold up on the brake. However depending on how well it goes and how well the car is running. Meaning if we do get to the 1200+rwhp range, I plan on adding a transbreak to the car in addition to quick disconnects on the breaks so I can put C5 rear breaks and run a 16" rim with some ET Streets and push for low 8's, maybe even a 7. But that's a long long long way out and I don't even want to begin to say my car is going to do it on something unproven and not even built and running. I can comfortablly say I'll be deep in the 9's this year though.

I was the one that made the statement about more in the 1/8th then everybody else in the 1/4 and clarified in a later post, that it was a joke as obviously I know of a few cars going that will trap higher then I do in the 1/8th. We went with RPM Auto Conversions. Upgraded Torque Tube, Driveshaft, hardened axles, built rear ends, built A4 transmission, and 3800 lockup stall converter. We went with the auto's to get better consistancy at the track in addition to not having to deal with the lack of driveability of a twin disc or tripple disc clutch, and the fact it was only $500 more to convert everything to an automatic then it was to build the current 6 speed setup. As you know Auto's rob a little more HP then a stick shift. I believe it's 15% vs 11%, but IMHO that's a huge benifit. We 'should' be able to turn the boost up a little higher and while we may have the same power to the rear wheels(with more boost vs. the stick), the auto's will launch better and once we hit 3rd gear we'll have the same percentage loss as we do with a stick and we'll see that extra boost on the big end. So basically hoping for the launching ability of the auto but the big end MPH of a stick. The biggest downside to the build is the extra 200#'s of weight we added to the front/middle of the car. I'm worried at how the car is going to handle on a roll situation. Probably a 53/47 split now vs a 50/50 split. Corvettes don't exactly have the best weight transfer. Nothing like my F-bodies. Will probably have to figure out a good shock/spring solution at some point. Jason

Welcome! Gahanna give you shit for no front plate? Pulled me over for it last year once, but they thought I was someone else and let me go. I do everything I can to avoid driving through the town, but it's hard when you live in Blacklick.

May be the same guy. I don't recall the roads I was on, but I saw him driving from Orlando to the Disney World/Sea World area. Just thought it was really strange seeing one car with the crap all over it, then to see another in another state. lol. Sounds like it's fairly common, yet equally as strange.

Next winter will be cage time for me. I would have done it this year, but I decided to do the build so late that there isn't any time left other then cutting into Summer. Look forward to seeing your car run!

You get only your slip. So if you and I were to race, they cut the slip in half. You get yours and I get mine. 110 in the 1/8th is moving out! You get your converter fixed, I'm assuming? Also, are you using a lock up converter? I'm going with a lock up, and I guess they pull hard on the big end. Just going to be annoying having to flip a switch to lock it up. I'll figure something out to make that automatically happen.

To walk a C6Z like that, you've got to be putting down some serious power. Racing all last year, I didn't see a single car get walked like that.

Here are a few more of the same car

This is about how bad my car is going to beat John's TA this year.

So, I have seen this guy driving around Columbus a few times now and just figured it was some freak or something. I mean it is the craziest shit I've ever seen done to a car. He's got like 1,000 doll heads glued onto the cars roof, hood etc.. I never really thought much of it, just thought it was strange. Till I was down in Orlando last week and wouldn't you know, I saw another car with the same shit all over it. I'd say it was the same guy, but the chances that I've seen this guy in Columbus multiple times and the one time I'm in Flordia, he's there, just no way that's even possible. So, is there a story behind this and I'm not aware of it or what? It's just strange.

I'd agree with you to a point, however I wont even be at the event in the Z06 if the tuning and bugs aren't ironed out prior to the event. I'm not going to take a car that is not finished to the track, just to break something. There is a greater chance that our cars wont be there, then there is of us being there and not running a 9 second pass. So yes, if I'm there I plan on running deep into the 9's@145-150 or 118 in the 1/8th I doubt I'll have more mph in the 1/8th then all the cars there in the 1/4, was more playing around with the statement, as I know of a few cars well over 118 in the 1/4.

If all goes well, I plan on being there the entire day through the Friday Night Race NTRW has scheduled. They are not going to use lights, so I'm thinking I may be able to pull off some full passes with out getting harrassed.

Supposed to be low 60's next week, that's a little better. I've found that 70+ is the magic number though.

Sounds good, but I'll still break traction if it's too cold. We'll just have to try it and see.

I'd probably come out next Friday, if you all plan something again. And I'll bring the Viper to tear Linn a new ass, pending it's a little warmer.

I'd come out, but it's still a little too cold outside for me to get traction. Hopefully it will warm up soon.
