ReddyZ06 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sounds like a good forum for current Columbus automobile related information. My interests include all types of racing - including NASCAR. I have been a spectator at Watkin's Glen for the Formula 1 race, Indy for the 500 and the Brickyard. I have run (HPDE) at Mid-Ohio, Putnam Park, VIR, Watkin's Glen and some others. Drag raced at National Trail, MCIR, KilKare, etc. Some years ago I did some BMX racing too. I am a huge GM fan, but like all types of performance vehicles. Mike 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReddyZ06 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) The Corvette is stock other than occasionally have a set of Hoosiers on it. It tracks well and has much more torque than my previous Corvettes. http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp66/ReddyZ06/30c4bfed.jpg Mike p.s. I should have said thanks for the tip. -Welcome.

bm3m5 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 you should put an exhaust system in that z06 so if you ever come across a zr1 you can smoke it and laugh at the moron who paid 40grand more for his vette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that hard to believe. Is there a turbo attached to the mentioned exhaust kit? What happens if the ZR1 puts an exhaust on or even better, changes his pulley?

bm3m5 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 the zr1 is barely faster than a zo6, that is if you compare the fastest times clocked for the z06, 1/4 in mid 11s, the zr1 from what i have read, isnt much faster even with the supercharger and 120 more hp. if you put a full header and exhaust system in a z06, i'll bet it would make up for the difference easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also doubt your getting 120 hp from headers and an exhaust on an N/A engine. OT: Welcome noob, badass setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReddyZ06 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for the comments everyone. I do like horsepower and while there are many ways to enjoy a car, seeing what you can do with it as a machine is the most fun for me. Oh, as far as the original ZR1 comments, I appreciate the thought and support you posted. The ZR1 is an amazing car with improved handling (mainly shocks) over every other Corvette and in the right hands is a thing of beauty to see. I am very happy with my N/A engine but when you see a ZR1 making very angry noises it does make a believer out of you. What a collection of great automobiles you guys have in your photos above - way cool! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
