Thanks ya'll

How scary is this thing going down the track?

 

Unbelievable man.

It drives dead straight really. As far as speed- its like anything else. You get used to it.

Braking is a little sketchy. I am ALL IN as soon as I see the last cone and I still come into the last exit HOT lol

That is insane. Clearly sounds like getting off the line smoothly - on a more consistent basis - is the major concern as it rips on throttle with traction down the big end of the track.

 

Well done and it’s great to keep seeing you tear new holes in the space-time continuum.

Thanks. I'm managing the power now to keep traction and the drivetrain together. Gate pressure in first, 35psi in second, 45+ in 3rd and 4th

DSM Shootout Prep. Leaving easy, checking the tune. Looks like its makin' some Powa. They actually kicked me out since I didn't have a Chute LOL.

The hope is to cut even a 1.60 60 foot-and 8's are a possibility. Still on a stock trans/Tcase/Rear/Axes + 200 zip ties. Trans was refreshed with the help of R & D Motorsports in Amherst, Ohio and it is by far the BEST shifting trans I have had in the car.

Wish me luck! Hope to see some of you guys there.

Great daily- I miss mine!

Not surprising, especially once they launched the 10 speed auto. Everyone cries about wanting a manual, but no one buys them, which makes it hard to make a business case.

Im a manual guy till I die, but it is undeniable that the Autos are the best they have ever been. Fun, fast, and hold power. Even going back to the 09+ CTS-Vs. Look at the Hellcats and even new Mustangs, both with clutch packs can see 1000+ WHP

Looking at the comments here and general online sentiment, I would say Corvette hit their mark.

"Corvette guys" and a bit divided, but in general like it. At the end if the day- the 55+ Corvette community would have embraced anything they came out with.

The majority of comments I see is "I never liked Corvettes, but I like this" which is what I think they were going for. So, its a win for GM.

I cant wait to but a bus on one in my Z0SICK while bangin' gears and maintaining my manhood.

Saw this on Stangbangerz:

Can you link me to that one if its till available?

jp do you have any videos to post of the dyno or roll racing? I literally almost went even though I was slammed at home just to meet you..

Ha! I'd have a beer with ya.

I have a few Dyno videos but my GoPro was not charged so I didn't get any of the roll racing besides

This was thew 998whp pull. Funny how monumentally disappointing 998 whp out fo a 123 ci motor you tossed together in your garage can be lol

Im here at 2:00 with some funny commentary. Thanks to Lucore for the video. I turned it down to qual for the 150mph roll racing class. 32psi was good for 150 traps, so I am pretty excited to see what I can do on kill this year!

White LT1 turbo Z28 went 8.3x@176 a couple of times. Jon with the 2JZ 240 was going 8 0h's, but went red in the 2nd round. It was a really ridiculously quick and fast field. Fun to watch for sure.

It was as fast or faster last year with a few 8 sec Honda and 3 cars capable of 7s. Nuts! Thats why I did 9.5 index last year. Competition was thick

Wanna see a real old face? Build a fast Tercel. I'll come watch ya then.

There was one there with a JDM turbo on it!

He went 9.01@167 in the semis. Car that won ran 8.06 the one pass and 8.13@184 in the final.

HOT Dam!!

Once again our resident racer Mike, aka 86GT, did some work at the track. He finished runner up in the stick shift class. .

Nice to see a bunch of old faces, and some new ones!

What kind of times was mike running? I dropped out of the stick shift class after I shredded 4th in the roll racing finals.

The 60' won't get any better on a slick. Last time I put a 255 Drag radial on the back I shredded the differential at Killkare last year.

Even if it does not 6 any better- I have seen 11 sec cars lose .2 with a skinny up front

- what can he do to avoid oil starvation during an event? He was just overfilling the oil pan and it was working but he wasn't watching his oil level at this event and it cost him.

.

I mean.........

Your options are- baffle the pickup and over fill+accusump

Or, drysump.

Thats it lol

Semi-Related, but was this one unplanned? If not, were you trying for a long time? I've seen couples try for 1 month, some for 8 years. It changes the dynamic of the conversation.

The cliff notes version of this, shes a hormonal trainwreck. Take it all with a grain of salt-unless this has been a topic for a month and not just a fleeting statement she made as this thread suggest.

But, in either circumstance, the best way to make it work long term is WIFE above all else. Family, Kids, Cars, all of it. After all, you literally made that legal commitment to it. May as well follow though lol.

But for a more practical reason, if the marriage sucks-the rest of it will suck anyways.

Mexico will be open Friday evening for those interested.

I would be pretty bummed if roll racing was cancelled again this year.

 

Did I price this thing wrong? I know I might be a bit on the high end, but it is very clean and shows well in the pictures and in person.

Hard to say without seeing the add? LOL

It has to be better than Godzilla.....

It was a bit over the top-

But my Son and I still liked it

Post it in the Corral on CR - Free

Post it on Facebook Marketplace - Free

Post it on Craigslist - $5

 

That will get most people i'd think. also take it to carmax and see what they offer you and see if its what you'd want?

C list charges now?

As much as I hate to say it, I have had the best luck later with FBM and offer up for selling.

I'll be at both again this year. Last year I may hav ebeen the last to Dyno since they had to switch to AWD. Hope you stayed, cause it was worth the wait! Unfortuanly I did go to a smaller turbo for this event, but I will still try to crack 4 Digit WHP for the paporatzi.

I'd like to do roll racing, maybe TnT. I am NOT doing that Street racer class- only because the organizing-mapping, and street drive (Easily 40+ miles) took out 2 hours of my day. What a waste!! Especially after the Roll racing was rained out.

I avoided the stick shift class because there was 2 7 second cars, and a pile of 8 second cars. The stick shift class was the fastest class that day! No joke- but I may do it just to avoid the long street drive BS

I wont be there this year, they didnt announce the dates until a few weeks back. \.

Dates have been out since beginning of the year, but their web site does suck. The Friday dyno day is LEGIT and goes late. Come out when your done hanging out with the old folk.

 

Minivan is the ultimate lifestyle vehicle.

This is accurate.

i also agree with the 2 car strategy here. Get something you don't mind tearing up for CO back country stuff.

wait a sec, it's a 5 speed but has PRNDD32 in the tach?

 

wat du hek?

Wow, good catch

I dig it.

Now I really wont be able to afford a Ford GT

And its a 5 speed.

Worth mention in the add. If you were closer I'd scoop it up!

From a scientific curiosity, that is cool.

I would absolutely buy it again. Its been a fantastic car. My next one will be a dual motor version with autopilot. Those are the only 2 things I wish it had

So, is it only FWD (or RWD)?

And what are you missing for Auto Pilot? Sensors?
