out of the 3 runs i lost 1. 1st was a 20 and he got the jump on me. Came back in 4th gear @ 145 and evened up with him
2nd run we did a dig and put 2-3 cars. hit 3rd & 4th and was comming back but it was too late. My 5th is sloooooow so i stopped and he left with a car & 1/2
3rd run was a 40 and i brake boosted. put 3 cars on him around 125 in 4th gear, but we kept going and put around 4-5 cars @ 171

Gnubber, you are refering to the std C6 (not the fixed roof ZO6) that has roof adherence problems.

A dynojet is not sketchy. It's an actual power measurement, not some guy's "guesstimate" of power hitting the pavement. Conditions such air, humidity, etc. will always be present which affect (to a lesser extent) power output but a dyno plot lists these key conditions at the time of test.

i havent taken the car to the track. but i will do this weekend. and please be patient for the videos. Anybody know what i have to do to hook up the camera to the computer. all i have are the av jacks for like the VCR
the numbers are at the wheel! Heres the 478 dyno sheet
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1169413151
NOTICE HOW THE PULL STOPPED AT 478hp BUT THAT PULL WAS ON 22LBS AND I WAS ON 15lbs
the only thing that he had the advantage is his car jumps as if jesus is helping push the car on the 3rd honk

1) I don't see your dyno sheet in your link.
2) Your sig says 478 HP (should be rwhp if it is at the wheels) @ 17.5 lbs
3) You then say your dyno of 478 (lets assume you meant rwhp) was at 22 lbs
Which is it? 17.5 or 22 lbs?
4) Why would you race a ZO6 on a lower boost level (15 lbs) when it's been planned well in advance?
I don't doubt your story....you just seemed confused on power output though?

4) cause on 22lbs with 30more hp on my car than a z06 it wouldnt really be a race. Its then obvious who would win. I was just demostrating how much hp it is need to beat a c6 z06 (read the thread title)
brake boosting is a must. otherwise youll spend half of the time cathing up.
be aware with that power i had i wasent walking him. more like creeping slowly when i was catching him! so if they put a certain distance on you it would take even longer to catch up. and most race to 140mph

I know i'm a little late to the argument, but doesnt the power curve have a lot to do with it? sure power to weight is great, but only at peak power. you'll notice the vette has way more power throughout the power band, shouldn't we use a combination of peak hp to weight, and also the area under the entire power curve?
If you have a peak power to weight ratio of 10 that only lasts 1 second, a power to weight ratio of 8 that lasts for 10 seconds will win.
If you have a peak power to weight ratio of 10 that only lasts 1 second, a power to weight ratio of 8 that lasts for 10 seconds will win.
Thats moreso on a person who cant shift and ends up out of the powerband after the shift. Or a car that has a small range of peak torque and hp. AKA the FD in this case.
With a car like the C6 Z06, that has a torque curve through ALL rpm's so even though you fall out of "peak" range, you're still making a shitload of torque and hp.

this cracks me up! you dont need 500+ hp fd to beat a c6 z. i beat my friends car by 1 1/2 - 2 cars he has a 570whp 2002 trans am. its all about that power to weight ratio and the driver too. dont get it twisted!
No sorry, you DID NOT beat a 570rwhp camaro with the mods listed in your sig.
**** i ment 470whp my bad.. he has a 200 shot of nos and he walks me like nothing when he sprays. and for you viper american cars DO SUCK compare to European and Japanese cars. that is just my opinion dont take it personal.. later
