how many hp to kill new Z06????
power through out the rpms LS7>Rotary, of course when the power to weight is close, 2700lbs to 3100lbs. plus having a 7k redline helps too. my car doesn't need short gears because if i had them, it would be useless(spinfest). our gearing isn't too short or too long, its just right
Funny, how they can get 8000 hp dragsters to hook up but your 500 hp Z06 is beyond that?

LOL i like how you keep using the phrase, "doing this since you were in your diapers". I think thats number 3 in this thread alone. Funny, corny but funny.
Fact is im still right because the video is proven, sought out evidence of a 400+rwhp FD getting beat by a z06.
You say just because i saw it on video, it cant be true? Wow, so i guess R&D is based on theory alone with no physical tests.
So if you throw a big turbo and boost, you ESTIMATE "i should be making 500rwhp?" LOL
No, you throw the car on the dyno, because you're physically testing, proving how much power your making.
But yeah, keep throwing out more cars "you beat" in the mix of this thread, even though its irrelevant. If you didnt race an enzo, i didnt know ferraris have the same performance as a c6 z06.
Maybe next time i see a single turbo FD, ill ask what single he has and if he says T78, ill say, "o thats slow".

Kid, don't let your ignorance run away with you. Do some research before posting.
And yes, I've raced many cars that are equivalent or faster than a stock Z (including, GASP, a Ferrari 430 Stradale - that would be a "non Enzo Ferrari" for you Junior). Big deal - they are a point of reference - Z's are no big deal either but you sure do seem anamored with them? Why such the hard-on for Chevy Z cars?
Any other ignorant comments or are you done posting?
Another irrelevant post.
448rwhp T78 turbo rx7 is still a 448rwhp rx7 that got WHIPPED on the highway.
You can blab all you want about turbo efficiency and dyno tuned rx7s and all that mumbo jumbo. If we were talking about theory alone, i would shut up.
The video showed what happened. O NO I said it again!!! The video!!!
Opps, i meant the imaginary cartoon someone posted.

Please, do us a big favor? Go back and read the thread and try (emphasis on "TRY". here I'll help posts=#'s specifically 235 & 236) to grasp the FD in the video had 400 - 420 rwhp & the Z had at least 448 (that would be the Sixth Generation Corvette ZO6, not a Third Generation modified RX-7). We also "learn" that the Z had 480 rwhp so this raises the question if the Z was really stock during the run, or at 480 rwhp). In any case, the FD had a peak power level "somewhere" between 400 - 420 rwhp running 10 - 12 lbs on a T-78 (so we are told which equates to an extremely inefficient power curve).
Dynojets = "mumbo jumbo"? Kid, put down the crack pipe. It's call Physics (they actually apply to you & everyone else on this planet and represent physical laws which can be measured (Dynojet anyone?) and are applied to our everyday lives). As far as personal experience, I'm lightyears ahead of you (as are most of the other thread contributors such as Mr RX-7 TT, Matty, etc). You are an ignorant kid with no practical experience that can't grasp power under the curve & it's proven rather amusing.
It's hilarious how ignorant you are about single turbo rotaries & power output in general, yet.....you actually continue to post. Keep on swingin', you'll be in China soon.
Wow, so i had a typo. I meant to say 478rwhp which is worse because he got whipped badly.
478>hp 403lbs> torque @ 17.5lbs>boost 430hp @ 12psi
Assuming he meant rwhp which is likely since most dyno's calculate hp to the wheels.
So i cant grasp the concept of power under the curve, is that why you're making excuses? lol
You're already well into your 40s, i would HOPE you have more experience than me.
Which brings up the fact that no one is here saying you dont know what you're talking about so i think its sad you have to bring up your "experience" into this thread.
Fact is, high rwhp FD got whipped by a z06 with intake. BADLY.
This is one fact YOU CANT grasp.
One thing is if the FD got beat by a little, maybe a car, i wouldnt even say anything but i think its rather amusing you cant comprehend what you saw.
O wait, i know you have more experience than me, real proof isnt enough evidence, just your theories.

you guys are freakin all nuts........everyone here hush.... i will smoke all of you
BTW: 4th gear on up on that gauge cluster video moved slower than slowsky from 140mph and faster. my speedo goes just as fast from 20mph to 100mph as it does from 100mph to 180mph .... maybe even faster lol

Actually im trying to hit 30 pages here. You shhhhhh
Btw yes that speedo went hella slow after like 130.
I just think the 0-130 is fast as hell. Not many people race past that anyway.

hehe he told you about it huh?? lol
I bought some craftsman nut removers (lol) off ebay. Ill let you know how they work in case you never used them before.
This thread will go down in history. Its like the jimlab part 2 deal.

for 5 yrs now 1qwik7 has been running his mouth about the same ****. I strongly suggest you guys walk away from this troll. All he wants to do is work in a way to bash the 7. Its pretty funny how he manages to do it time and time again. Its pretty scary actually....the dude has no life.

Most Z06’s dyno at around 440 - 460 RWHP.
In other words, you are saying that we need at least the same HP to an additional 50 at THE WHEELS to beat car that is at least 400 LBS HEAVIER??? Ha ha :rolfl:

But seriously these zr1's are going to be slowly showing up around the country! So let's just start the bickering here!
6.3l supercharged v8
630hp
600+lbft tq
3300lb's
Im going to say 530rwhp with a good spooling turbo!
you can't just use power to weight ratio, HP doesnt mean anything unless you look at the entire power curve. what counts is the total area under the curve, not just the peak.
And I'm pretty sure a 400 whp dyno graph on an fd looks completely different than a zo6 dyno graph
and taking that a step further, 400hp on 2 rx7s can have pretty different looking curves depending on the mods and the tune. So one person saying his 400hp rx7 can beat a Z06 may be valid, and someone else with a different set up but same peak power may not be able to beat a z06, you can't just group everything together.

I spent less than half the price of that car for my total project including the car and ill still put 5 car lengths on it on 20psi, and thats still low boost. lol a giant 6.3l with a supercharger only making 630 base hp. what a joke.
BTW: youre not a mazda man lol your dick is up z06 tailpipe
