It's all about which car is faster right? Hell, you could line 2 IDENTICAL FD's up, one starting in second and one starting in 3rd from 40mph. Which one will pull? Which one is faster?
Hence why i said this

No, in that story, it would have been different so please stop using totally different cars with totally different "scenarios" to compare to this story.
I said that for a reason. You used that example just to prove a point. A point i already know thats irrelevant to this thread.

Im talking about the OP's FD vs the Z06. And in this case, there should be no other sub-discussions about it like matty said. It should have ended where i posted the very first time.

Matt. Respectfully im asking you to put me on ignore.

If all you see is negativity coming out of me, then its just the fact that you're specifically looking for that from my posts.

I said alot of good as well as bad about everything. And i wont even call that bad, its called "keeping it real" as yellowgslse doesnt want to hear.

Sorry, thats the way i am. If i feel the need to voice what i have on my mind, i have the right to do so, doesnt matter if it complies with your feelings (or anyone elses) or not.

And yes i dont believe the OP, you heard why in these 3 pages so yes i will drop it.

It doesn't have to be the OP's FD vs the Z06. We're dealing with principles here. And these principles are valid, no matter where they are applied. YOU said it's about faster car vs slower car. I said this is not always the case and gave the OP the benefit of the doubt. You just keep running from the issue and I keep calling you on it.

Im sticking with one subject and one subject only. This thread, OPs FD and the Z06. Why would i even consider making this discussion harder than it really is?

Thats why i made my original post short and sweet with 2 important factors.

I did say its about faster car vs slower car, for this thread.

You added circumstances, circumstances that were mostly irrelevant to this thread.

Because like i said if you go back to read the OP's original post. Not only do you already know the Z wasnt racing, but his story is beyond reality, you cant but help say its a bullshit story.

So how you come up with these circumstances to make his story valid is beyond me.

If it were anything else, ill be totally agreeing with you cause you're right but im talking about this thread and this thread only.

All boils down to he was bullshitting or the Z wasnt racing.

I vote for bullshitting because the race never took place if he was bullshitting.

1QWIK7 was NOT putting down the FD in this thread. The Z was not racing and, if he was, he was one of the world's worst drivers. It's that simple. Why put so much effort into this? This FD does NOT have the power to face off with a Z06.

If anything, someone has been observing 1QWIK7's recent posts and wants to take his anger out in this thread.

God Bless,

this is cute! So no torque equals no power...and thats why the rotary cant keep up w/ most cars.
I understand, your V8 has to make a ton of torque to get that heavy *** chunk of american muscle off the line!

Oh, yeah, about the kill...I'm with almost everyone on this one. BS, or w/e...I've seen this vette go and its more than a few car lengths ahead of a mildly modded FD.
Dude, If youre gonna lie, at least throw in a single turbo in the setup...save yourself some of this flaming! lol I was buying it untill the sig.

God Bless,
OMG THANK YOU!

The 2nd person in this thread to chime in with a brain.

First bricke, now romancer. Please guys, UNITE WITH ME TO SAVE THIS FORUM!!!

I couldnt have put it in any simpler terms.

Z wasnt racing OR OP bullshitted us. THATS IT.

If you want to be **** about the entire situation. Yeah yeah blah blah the FD won, whoa he won a handicapp race. Lets celebrate.

Even though i dont think this race even happened, ill just say that just so we can end this already.

But for future reference, guys with bolt on FD's. YOU WONT beat a C6 Z06, not even stock so either put a video to shut us (well me) up or type up a REAL STORY. Something realistic.


END THREAD

i ran a 12.0@115 in my FD with PFC/intake/openDP @14psi.

i live in bowling green KY, where the corvette plant happens to be, and there are corvettes everywhere and they're at the track every weekend with us.

the day i ran a 12.0, my first run was a 12.4, and it was against an old man (shitty driver) in an 06 C6 z06. he bogged the launch really bad and i had about 4 carlengths on him. i was chugging along in 4th gear and he pulled past me noticably faster by the end of the 1/4 mile.
that run for me was a 12.4@114, he ran a 12.2@121 with shitty driving.

my car is faster than yours and i got rolled up badly by a C6 z06.
the moral of this story is, this guy was messing with you.


edit: yellowgslse and 1qwik7, your bickering back and forth is annoying so please just shut up. no one wants to read your crap. thanks

Because they have opened their exhaust and no longer see 8 psi at the higher RPMs. On sequential twins, with my streetport and open exhaust my **** would pull all the way to redline.

Maybe the vette downshifted from 6th to 5th.

Hahah this is kinda funny reading all this stuff. I don't really care if anyone believes me because I was out on the highway just having fun with another driver. We were both ecstatic to even have someone to play with. I don't know how it happened but I'll get a video if I see him again. You should really just enjoy the story, instead of arguing that it's impossible.

Edit: I don't really believe it happened most of the time. I just know that on this particular occasion that it happened. Could it have been a base model? It had a lot of the Z paraphernalia though.

Hmm doubt it because from your story it was missing the obvious feature.

POWER.

Sorry, that was prob a non Z C6. Congrats on that kill though.

Even though I think 1QWIK7 is the biggest supra fanboy on the planet, I have to agree with nearly everything he's said in this thread. A Z06 would destroy the OP's car. If the Z driver was just toying around with him, and the FD driver was giving it his all, that's still not a race. Just because you're racing, doesn't mean the other guy is.
