Who wins this race? Discuss, and then find out this Saturday. Yours truly, sans operable car, will be playing the part of super squirrel and videoman.

 

Also, another thing:

Sam will win

 

1.) not real positive but lighter car

2.) lighter driver

3.) ccw

4.) big jets /sam

5.) linn will blow his car up trying to spray that much to it if he dosnt do it racing sam ............he will with me :p

 

1.) Z28 (3574 lbs) - Z06 (3130 lbs) = 444 lb difference = 50+ hp to make up

2.) Add a few more lbs for Linn to make up for.

3.) Traction will be an huge issue. Who's got better hooking tires/equipment?

4.) Linn will pull out the jets and run open hose.

5.) Lean is death. Hopefully everyone's got their shit tuned.

 

It's gonna come down to traction and driver. True story!

4. my car has much better traction than sams car.

5. im making the same power as sam with a smaller shot. therefore i run a much smaller risk of blowing my car up.

What speed are they running or is this from a stop?

 

My guess is Linn will jump out a car or two and then the faster you go, Sam will slowly real him back-in. They will be close around 140 and then Linn will ever so slowly drop back at 160+.

 

On spray I bet on whoever gets traction first.... :)

ZO6 is a 50/50 weight distribution. Z28 is more like 65(front) and 35(rear).

 

I'ts who preps their tires better.

 

I can concur.

 

58/42 for the 4th gen Z28, or 2073/1501

 

53/47 for the Z06, or 1659/1471

 

I wonder how much the weight transfer, as they squat, plays into this as well?
