You need a transmission in your life . It sucks that the trans is the first to go in the Cobalts when ZFR swapped. I love the ZFR on my Solstice. The torque hits so hard just after 3k, there is so much power under the curve with this turbo. I love hearing stories about how ZFR swapped cars stack up against the world

Like said above a stock Z06 is no joke, then you add some boltons, it's a serious car. You kept up in a turbo econobox, it would still be a win in my book! Good Run!

he also said his tuner had torque turned down in 2nd.. reading>you

if you tune it right it will smack a K04... but it will also blow 3rd gear.

If ur power is turned down cause u on stock tranny, it's not e85 u need its a tranny that can take the power of zfr. Then u can take the handicap off and I'm sure ull be singing a different tune. And only losing by a car to a c5 zo6 bolted, why don't u try doing that with a tuned k04 and u may not complain after u loose by a lot more. Lol

I raced a c5 non zo6 with a different exhaust at least , and he crept past me. Was a year or so ago, had a friend and 4 extra rims and tires in trunk and back seat. 22 psi on k04 pretty sure the zfr would have gotten me the win even with it tuned down as to not bust the trans. Don't need all that torque in second anyway, all u do is spin

Yea, I agree traction is a issue, maybe my next mod should be the 6 speed F40... Or a SKY trade in...

Lol

I love my car to much to get rid of it...

I'll get some E47 and see how i do...

Regardless people are having issues with stock sky trannys blowing up on big turbos, thankfully they make a t56 swap kit for them.

Also give you the passenger and it turns into 5 cars real fast :P

Good race.
