Im curious to know if theres a video of smg44 doing that? I know he beat a 550rwhp or so cobra, we all seen those vids but i havent seen the z06 vs smg44 vid yet. Please show me.

All im saying is going by the video, it did not take it. It didnt even come close. Whats the reasons why? Somethign is missing from the puzzle.
so in otherwords you just ignored everything I just posted regarding powerband (i.e. area under the curve). NICE

I mainly defended after that video was posted about a page ago.

Like i said, im only going by that video. You already seen my posts and my opinions earlier in this thread about this topic.

Wait a minute... arent you the guy who posted that we shouldn't take anything that YOU post seriously? So in otherwords you debate "just" to debate, no matter what. Again NICE

Uh, that's where the thread has gone. Read it and try to follow along.
Yeah, and thats why this thread is funny. Thats like bringing a butterknife to a sword fight.

What? "All you need is a an intake, CAM, header, exhaust and tune to make 600 rwhp"? That's all ? All you left out was the kitchen sink.
Yeah, cause on an FD you need a miracle and 3 back up engines to compare the life of a 600rwhp motor on a Z.


That's like saying all you need is a 3 rotor and a single to make 600 rwhp. Hey, but guess what ? For the cost of a Z06 it could be done, cheaper. (Just thought I'd toss that in)
Yeah, and i can take a 500 dollar civic and it will be even cheaper than an FD. Your point?



and the sun comes up every morning . What does that have to do with anything?
Nothing really. Just the fact that someone brought up that the Z "TOPS OUT". LOL like that makes sense.

Not really ignored, just pointing out again TOROUGHLY something you missed. Which proves me right because look where we're at now.

NICE

Sure. You dont have to take me seriously. That doesnt mean i cant be heard. I forgot this is a public forum. If you took my advice, that means i should be on your ignore list. Since you can see my post, im assuming you didnt.

Yeah, i guess you do take me serious then.

Btw, i love debates where the other team has no chance. And its usually with the same people involved lol. God i love this forum.

dude I didn't miss anything. But it seems that this conversation is certainly over your head or you just want to debate.

again you missed the point (does that happen much with you?) These are things that you accused me of so far:

Who said you should not be heard? Who said I should put you in my ignore list? From a couple of pages back) Who put down the ZO6? Who said the Rx7>Z06? see what I mean... YOU MISS the point or again you only do it to debate. Which is it?

All I said was that I remembered that you very clearly stated that you shouldn't be taken seriously. So in otherwords debating with you is pointless because you only do it to debate.

Sure it is, because you have made like 50 posts in this thread trying to explain something that is irrelevant to this thread. Which is why this thread is this long. You're one of the people that contributed to that.



again you missed the point (does that happen much with you?) These are things that you accused me of so far:

Who said you should not be heard?

Who accused anyone? Are you even understanding whats being said? Are you confusing yourself with your own words or are you just here to just "debate", like YOU'RE accusing me of doing?

You brought up what i said back in the day about if you dont like what i post, put me on ignore which is funny you brought it up now (irrelevant post #1).


From a couple of pages back) Who put down the ZO6? Who said the Rx7>Z06? see what I mean... YOU MISS the point or again you only do it to debate. Which is it?
Ehh not really gonna go through the whole thread again but certainly not I that took sides on anything, i think i started again in page 9 or 10 because A VIDEO WAS POSTED, which is why i came back to post. I think i made 1 or 2 posts prior in this thread.

If you're referring to me assuming someone said rx7>z06, then you're blind because its plain to see whats going on here. Thats why people are "debating" here. Because they can see it too. Its not a debate if there is a one sided story. Obviously you're debating from a wrong point of view, that or you're just here TO "debate".

All I said was that I remembered that you very clearly stated that you shouldn't be taken seriously. So in otherwords debating with you is pointless because you only do it to debate.

Yeah and still funny how you bring that up. Like this is the only thing you can default to.

Not taking me seriously does not mean what i have posted is not of logic or reason. It actually doesnt even make sense that you brought it up.

But if you had common sense, you would understand that if i were to criticize a person or downgrade them, THEN you should probably not take me serious.

But we're talking about cars, and FACTS about it because there is a video involved and you dont wanna take me serious because i said no in the past?

LOLOL

I'm gonna be honest here. Originally I thought you just like to argue, but now you changed my mind. You lack some serious reasoning skills and you jump to conclusions.

Fist of all: I only made 7 posts (this is my 8th) YOU on the other hand have posted 14 times. Contradictory to what you just accused me of right? sign of intelligence? well at least you can type.

yes and we discussed that, but not surprising that the context flew right past your head.

Jumping to conclusions? Hardly. Go back to the earlier pages. How many posts did i make? And how many have you?

How many replied to what you have said? Thats what i meant by you contributing to the long thread.


Fist of all: I only made 7 posts (this is my 8th) YOU on the other hand have posted 14 times. Contradictory to what you just accused me of right? sign of intelligence? well at least you can type.
LOL yeah if you wanna count me commenting on some off topic post and me responding to YOU part of that, ok ill let you take that and make that my mistake.

But like i have said OVER and OVER, this was just because of the video.

Technically i have made ONE post, ok 2 just to make it look good BEFORE THE VIDEO.




really? does this sound familiar




bro you said that just a few months ago, I take it you're a new man right? lol
LOL i really dont know why you even included that in the post, that makes no sense with what you're trying to prove. Do you even know what irrelevant means? lol



yes and we discussed that, but not surprising that the context flew right past your head.
Seems like context of what i said didnt blend in with what you're still arguing. Guess thats why we're STILL here.



now, now you know what happens when you assume...
I dont know, you tell me!!! lol jesus christ




well did you or did you not say it? oh that's right. That's way back in the day ha ha
Yeah, im not sure if you're smart enough to know when you even take someone seriously. With that post, again you prove me right.


oh ok now you want to be taken seriously...
Refer to above post, its not surprising this would be your next quote, another reason why this is amusing. Because i really think you're typing out of your *** now, just for the sake of trying to defend.



tell me what facts have you brought? Cuz I looked at your posts and found nothing...
I didnt have to post, the video was enough proof.

I think ill do this instead since you're are not comprehending whats going on here.

I only posted AFTER the video because people were making excuses of the video posted, with presented proof plus stats.

What? The thread was about how much HP does it take to beat a Z06. Is hp limited to only twins?

Exactly how much experience and knowlege to you have with the longevity of 600 rwhp Z06's?

I guess you aren't familiar with GM's send your car back to the factory to get a new engine program? (Oh, that's STOCK not 600 rwhp).

It's unfortunate but this is becoming all to common. GM has a special program where the car is sent back to the factory to get the new engine. If it was just a few engines why the need for this drastic measure. This is GM, we know its not for customer satisfaction reasons. Sorry for the negativity but I sold my c6 coupe to get a c6z06. I'm upset because the car I want has some issues that I'm not sure I'm willing to gamble on. I track the car and it will be a challenge to get gm to cover it when it lets go. Since selling my c6 coupe last oct I have heard of at least 30+ people with blown motors. I personally know of 10.
Terminal Engine Failure

This is an update to my post last week. It turns out that the knocking noise was not valvetrain related at all but in the bottom end. A GM tech rep has been called and is supposed to tell the dealer what to do about it, ie replace the motor or fix this one. Obviously, I am not to happy with the thought of a rebuilt motor in a car with less than 500 mi. on it
I know some of you have dealt with GM on similar issues, any advise on how do deal with this? I am thinking as a minimum a new motor and extended warranty, I mean come on, I haven't even had a chance to properly Zaino the car yet.

My point was, which obviously was a bit beyond you, was you had a laundry list to make a 600 whp Z06.

Oh your 500 dollar civic won't beat the FD around a racetrack.

I guess after reading stock Z06's are grenading engines I think it makes a lot of sense.


What else you got?

Thus the intelligence level we are dealing with here. Let me help you. Yellow R1 was talking about the effeciency range of the turbo of the car in the video...Do us and yourself a favor, sell the Z and use the money to go back to school.

WHAT are you trying to communicate? The RX7 in the video is an entirely separate car from mine. And respectfully, we don't really care about your Z as it's not germaine to the discussion,
