So my buddy just purchased a stock 2002 6-speed blue Z06 Corvette. I called him up to check it out. When I saw it I was very happy with his choice, the car only has 10,000miles on it and was owned by an older gentleman in his 50s. My friend purchased the car for $33,000. So he got a good deal I think. He also got to check out my car as well. It was funny because we both worked our way up to where we are now, starting with inline 4 n/a cars then boosted inline 4s and finally the big inline turbo 6’s and v8 monsters lol.

So after talking a while, we decided to get some runs in. all runs were done off high way 3rd gear roll on. The first couple of runs, I felt that my car was pulling harder, not sure if my stock intercooler got heat soaked and slowed me down on the later runs. But we got about four runs in. but I will just share the last run since we thinks it was the most fair.

Supra modification:
HKS 4inch Titanium Exhaust
3.5inch Downpipe
Manual Boost Controller set at 17-18psi

Z06: Stock

We started off a 3rd gear roll, matched speeds, then on the 3rd beep we were off. It was even from the start, then I shift to 4th and we are still very close, but I am slightly ahead. In the middle of 4th gear my rear bumper is at his passenger side mirror. Shift to 5th and it is about the same, my rear at his front bumper. We then shut off.

I was shocked on how strong the Z06 was up top. I thought I would pull much harder at high end, but it was damn close, very fun race. Anyways, I am not sure what the Z06 does in the 1/4mile but that’s how it went down, not sure where my car is in the 1/4 mile either. Thanks for reading.

 

Z06 has about 365 at the wheels....I'm guessing you're right there, with only a slight weight disadvantage

nice run

 

Thanks man. I was thinking I had a little more whp then him becuase he told me his car only weights 3,100lbs or so, my Supra I think is about 3,500lbs

 

at higher speeds the difference in weight won't matter that much, aerodynamics (and hp of course) is actually more important as you near 100

 

and i would assume a c5 vette is just as aerodynamic as a supra, im figuring your doing a better hp to weight ratio then the vette....

 

What are stock 02 Z06's doing in the 1/4mile with good drivers?

 

Actually, I beleive the 2002 Z06 has less power than the 03+'s.

I believe 385 as opposed to 400 at the crank.

 

No, the '01 ZO6 had 385, the '02 & later models have 405 Hp. With a good driver, they are 11.9x quarter mile cars trapping about 115 mph. They are very fast indeed.

wow, that is damn fast for stock. i didnt know the 02's had more power. nice to know

 

Nice, I see you're enjoying that Supra more and more every day

 

Twin turbo Z06, lol. Better watch out!!!

 

Nice kill...Go out and find a new c6. Its about the same as an 02 zo6...

 

Close, but the C6 is slower. Now, the C6 Z06...that's a beast. They're dynoing 480-490 rwhp with a filter and headers WITHOUT tuning.

 

yes

i still cant believe how those c6 z06's are sooo beastly..lol

i mean i get goosebumps reading the stats and reviews to that car..it seems like it gets better and better each day as we learn more good things about it..

and to the poster, great race, 2 of my favorite cars going head to head..gotta love it..

 

thanks guys, i am going to run him again sometime this week, but this time get it on tape for your viewing pleasure.

 

That's f!cking sick for an NA vehicle. It's not going to be pretty being picked on by one of those.. Oh well. Can't win em all I guess..HAHA

 

Next time run him through your 5th gear. It's the supra sweet spot has it is 1/1 ratio.

427 twin turbo vette check out the 0-60 =) he shoulda bought that=-p

 

I want a supra!!

 

agreed....awesome bang for the buck

but still no Koenigsegg

there is ALWAYS something bigger and badder....it never ends

 

nice kill. If you ever come up across a C6 Z06 make sure you tape it. So far no one has come up across those. If i do run a z06 ill need some space

 

Nice kill. Still, the vette would have taken you from a roll. With good tires, those cars get off the line insanely quick.

 

I don't see what's the big deal. Of course they're fast. v8s have something that smaller motors don't have as much. It's called a power band. It's all about getting up there and staying up there, it's not just about getting to your peak at the end and holding it for just a few hundred rpms. that's why a 500 hp v8 isn't the same as a 500 hp rotary.

I can't wait til I get turbos... 800hp on 91 octane!
