A few of us met up the other day to try and get a few runs in. Overall it went smoothly and we got some good races.


2000 Z28, 6 speed, Dynatech long tubes, offroad Y-pipe, Corsa catback, lid, tune, Z06 clutch and flywheel, shifter



2005 Corvette, 6-Speed, cai
**THE CORVETTE HAS A Z06 BODY CONVERSION. IT IS NOT A Z06**



The first race was a 1st gear roll with a passenger in both cars. At the start of the race, the Z28 was on the inside lane of a slight curve, fwiw.

We raced once more from 50 mph, and it was closer, but he still got out on me pretty good.

Alot of fun to be had by all and zero drama

 

Dang i didn't think the TC would get that close.

Would be interesting bolted and tuned for the TC.

Good races and nice cars.

 

Thanks!

After alot of the stuff I've heard about the GMS1 cars, I thought he was going to be door to door with me. Fun races, either way

 

I'm now confused, you beat a gms1 cobalt by what looked like 2 to 3 cars but lost to a stock ls2 gto by like 4 cars and pulling? Something just doesn't add up not saying the cobalt should have won I'm more talking about the gto shouldn't have freight trained you so bad are you sure it was stock?

 

Yeah, I've known the car for years, it's currently stock except for the jack and spare tire being out of it, lol. It's a 109-110 mph car in the 1/4.

It was noticeably closer from a 50 mph roll. He probably got out 3 cars.

 

Still a tuned G8 should be a drivers race with a stockish GTO.

 

Great races. Gotta love the G8. Those basic mods did wonders and it definitely cranks out for a 4,000 lb, 4-door sedan.

 

yeah that will be a different race with a tuned cobalt i myself have pulled a g8 that had "bolt ons" from a 40 roll

 

I want to race a base c6. I've raced plenty of bolt on fbodies and beat themof course its bench racing till I do it. .

 

the cobalt needs a REAL tune lol, nice runs, i love the G8s btw

 

I beat a c5, and a ls2 c6, but was neck and neck with a ls3 c6 with him pulling after 115. That was back on the stock turbo and meth. The c5 was an auto with the other two being manual.

 

Sounds like the Cobalt might not have been running 100%, so there will be a rematch

I think my car might be a good race for a stock automatic LS2 GTO, with the GTO edging me out up top. When I was stock I raced a stock 6-speed LS1 GTO from a roll and he was able to edge me out up top.

Doesn't the GM Stage 1 kit keep the factory warrantee? I think that's why he went that route since it's his daily driver (Cobalt and Corvette are owned by the same guy).

I always find it funny when someone posts a race and then everyone starts saying, "well if he had these mods or those mods then it would be different." I'm sure it would, and if he had those mods then I would have raced him and posted up the results, win or lose.

 

Yea I woulda expected a TC with a stage one to do a little better than that. GREAT vids none the less

 

Thanks man! Hopefully the rematch will be more exciting

 

Well if you raced a Cobalt with a 35r on 30psi things woulda been a little different...

 

I think people are still butt hurt over Gm's lackluster stage1 (including myself). Nice races. Great vids and presentation. I liked the pics with supporting mods. very professional

 

Good race.

Personally i think thats exactly where the cobalt should be.

i raced a bolted G8 with a can tune . we were dead even except from a 60 roll i pulled a car on him.

I also had a 30 PSI tune, downpipe and intake.

 

u guys should run my bros g8 gxp its tuned headers and intake a6

 

Good runs.


Welcome back.

 

I agree, I pulled on my buddies G8 a good amount and he has LT's, SLP Mufflers, Intake and tune

Good races OP

 

ive only raced rileys (elite cyborg) corvette and its a h/c ls1 c5. were even till 115-120 then he pulls.

 

You should be close with a LS2 C6. LS3 may pull you.

 

i wouldnt be dissapointed at all if an ls3 pulled me. i think an ls2 would be a good race. rileys c5 should pull a c5z06.

is a c5 z06 faster than a base c6?

 

LS2 C6 is comparable to a C5 Z06. The LS3 has a mean top end. Top end I don't pull away much more from a LS3 Vette then I do a LS7.

 

and if you put a 150 shot on that G8 it'd be vehicular genocide
