Good video, the quality, as said above, was much better than most movies.

And sorry to the guy that owns the 470hp 350Z, your non thought out upgrades have ruined you car.

There are some things that we are in process of making right now, that will be in production by christmas.

Havn't even riden in it yet. Kinda scared to, since last time I went for a ride in a Viper the guy driving it totaled it.

Nice vid by the way.
Brandon, you should've taken your car out there. I want to see some videos of some nice FD's doing some runs too. Otherwise, you could always wait a bit and I know Charlie and I are planning on seeing what's up once my cars fully tuned .

I meant Charlie and I were going to do some runs amongst ourselves and that you should join us. I'm not too fond of going all out on the highway with 12 other cars. I personally think its extremelly stupid and it heightens the risk significantly of getting caught and having my car impounded.

^ +1 for highway pulls. Riz I'm down to see some FD's on the highway don't forget to give me a call I'll be down. Too bad I won't be able to keep up with you guys. But hopefully by the end of next year after my next setup is complete I will be doing much much better

I don't know about extremly stupid, but definetly not safe!

I will be down for some runs for sure, come spring time. I wish I could leave this car alone and just drive it. Looks like I will be changing my whole setup be next spring. Motor and all.

[QUOTE=SpdKilz]No, you would not. If you honestly think that...well...wow. I am pretty sure you are going to need a bit more than 30rwhp to make up for your 700 pounds on me. That is just one of the reasons why you will not win.

Well don't get your panties in a bunch. I'm not trying to put you down nor am I stating any facts about YOUR car.
This is a fact though. I have taken a Z06(mods unknown) on the streets where I live in my 2004 GTO. This is running 6.5 psi on a D1-SC ATI Procharger, Dynatech Long Tube Headers, 42lb injectors, AUTO w/stock converter, 42lb injectors with a conservative tune including the rev limiter set at 5,800 rpm. The car has been Dyno proven at 467whp at an elevation of 4,500 FT with these mods only. Not to mention I also have the 10psi pulley, 3,500 stall, Meth Inj. Kit and DR's sitting in my garage. This is my DD.
Now that you mention it, I think I can take you!

i bet i would take you w/ my 360 rwhp fd. i have seen gto;s with your power levels onl;y trapping 114mph at the track.[/QUOTE]

If you know anything about Drag Racing then you know that trapping ain't everything. You tell me if you can beat me then.
11.79 @ 118
60ft: 1.79
1/8th 7.79 @ 92

Also, I am curious to know the trap speed of the GTO. If you are correct in saying that they only trap 114 then he has a bit to go. My best is 122.4 as of now. Granted, next year it should be in the 130's [/QUOTE]

That's good, what was your ET?

trapping of course isnt everythign but its a pretty good indication of what the car can do "X" - the driver.

i said it once and i will say it again u aint touching a 440-rwhop z06 with those numbers. wake up bro..u would get murdered by severl car lengths.
actually i have to take it a step further and ask u again what crack u are smoking? how the hell could a car that traps118mph even think they could beat a modded z06 thats traps 118mph stock!

i am guessing u are one of two things 1) some little brat that doesnt even have a license or 2) some old man (like the rest of the gto owners) that doesnt know crap about todays cars.

I'm 28. And yes I have my licence. I've tried to be respetful and humble when I reply back to your posts and you reply back like..."some little brat that doesnt even have a license". WTF man?
Hard to believe you are 31 years of age.

Did you even read all of my replies? I'm assuming not. If you did you would see that I posted numbers along with Qtr. mile times and have in fact run a Z06 here. Why is this so hard to believe? Some small details you overlooked is that I live at an elevation of 4,500 FT. Chicago is 580 Ft. A 3,920 elevation difference. I don't think I'd have a problem netting enough whp to match or beat this Z06 with my 600 pound pig. Don't make me take out my spare tire too! haha

Get this...The Stock Z06 might trap 118(As you say it will) but it WILL NOT TRAP 118 HERE!!! Even if it were the exagerating MotorTrends or Car and Driver that did the reports!! If I were to dyno or run the car somewhere like Chicago, there would be a good difference in WHP, trap and ET. 122mph to my 118 for this guys Z06...A WHOPPING 4 MPH difference!!Ooooooohhhhh. It will not run that here at it's current power level.

And so ******* what if own a car that you don't like, or something that OLD people drive??? I love it!
Let it be known I own a ST 93 FD and a four door Honda Civic LX too.


All this started because I was surprized to see a 470 hp Z lose to a 440hp Z06? That's all. A guy even registered on the forum just so he could reply back to it because he was as ButtHurt as you are now.WTF??

That's funny! You're probably sitting in front of your screen right now all red in the face thinking out your gonna reply back to my comment HAHA.

no i am not red in the face. i guess i deserve some rude comments back.

Anyways i just find it hard to beleive as do a few other guys that posted here that a car with 600 more lbs would be able to beat a car with just 27rwhp advantage. not to mention how aweesome a z06s power curve is, its aero dynamics and gearing....those things run.

Thank you.
I understand where you're coming from. But as my last post stated(Was removed) there's more HP than just 27 as stated earlier depending how you look at it. And it has been done.
Looks like the Mods Removed my other posts. I wonder if it was cause I was getting gang R***D or because of my wording in the last post. lol
Thanks though cause it was getting pretty hot over here.
