Plug in the numbers. And it does it mathmaticly so it'd have to be a 100% perfect run. At 3900 pounds with 393 WHP it comes up with a 12.51. M/T tires or not I can't see it happening. Yes its a damn nice car, I'm not disputing that. But something doesn't add up.

Ahhhh that makes better sence now. You gut it to go to the track to get it to 3300 pounds. Ok, that I'll buy.

 

lol where did u go to check that?

EDIT: i'm retarded

 

if the weather holds up. every time i want to go.. never fails... rain.

 

ha sounds good man. i'll be out there in a black ss balt. so if ya see me come on over

 

Don't even bother arguing if you actually think that junk is accurate. You obviously don't have much track experience so i'm not going to even keep this goin. My car ran 12.60's on street tires and bolt ons, full weight, 352rwhp. meet me at 66 next tuesday and then argue after.

 

No your not, its easy to miss things on-line. BTW at 3700 pounds it has you at 12.29's. Still not bad for such a nice car.

 

Well.. see, the D1 sounds like a good idea when i start thinking about it.. but then I think about my ring gear shearing into a million pieces, and my shortblock popping... and the $5-8k I'll spend there.. i'll be $35-40k into this thing... that's when I start thinking about how nice them c6's are maybe a used c5 and a procharger would make me happy...

 

hahahah it says 13.3 for our cars with 240whp if only

 

Ummm..... I'm not giving you any grief dude relax. As for track experence I've only been racing for 20 years now thats why I said it didn't sound right. You explained yourself, we've moved on. Chill.

 

didn't see last post..

 

TRACTION my friend, TRACTION.

 

you're still welcome to come to 66 if you're local

 

Lets Trade car's

 

Again man relax whats with the hate? Seriously? Like I said you explained yourself and said you were getting your #'s from a car thats not yours but a friends. I honestly don't understand the issue.

 

not interested in trading for a 'balt.. sorry if you have a stock c5.. maybe otherwise cash will do!

edited that post, didn't see your first response.. we're cool dude, come to the track tuesday

 

I wish but I'd have to leave now to meet you this weekend! That and at only 12.8 as my best time so far it would be a waste for us both in the gas department.

 

ah.. oh well, If I go i'll get some video! Say a prayer for my 10-bolt diff please

 

Don't they make a rear end cover for your 10 bolt that has the girdle built on like they did for the older 10 bolts? I know it held mine together for YEARS without any problems.

 

I've got one on there.. i still don't trust it though the smaller cross sectional area of the ring gear doesn't change so all i've got goin for me is that the automatic is easier on it with less shock load

 

Nice Clean LS1 man. Wish I had the money to buy it. Still wouldn't beat my buddy's built LT1 but I could take his 01 Z28 in a race if I had that car HA!

 

DUDE! You'll be fine. I was putting down 550+HP and 600+TQ at the wheels at dynoed by HOT ROD mag on the power tours and mine held up fine. Wait do you have a 7.5 rear? Cause yeah that coould be an issue.

 

thanks man!

indeed... i don't have a "real" 10 bolt. mine has a 7 1/2" ring....

 

Ok that could be an issue then. Your NOT planning to run slicks or DR's I hope cause your begging for problems if you do. Especialy with those HP figures.

 

well, behind the 4l60e slushbox i should be okay down into the 1.6x shorts... guess this track day may determine if i keep the car
