so do you, but my numbers aren't to impressive, there are guys with bigger cams pushing way over 450rwhp, but the thing with bigger cams is, yes you have crazy power up top but lower power is pretty much none existing. thats why i went with a small cam, so i don't sacrifice lower power. that lower power comes in hand when coming out of a corners, now i just gotta have the guts to down shift all the way to 2nd gear to use that power instead of 3rd gear. im not sure if amemiya noticed when he waved me by that it took me a bit to pass him cause i wasn't in my power band. plus i added weight instead of taking out weight

 

Me and Johnson talked about this before... it is isn't it

See above comment

About what rpm and what gear were you in if you remember? BTW, your car sounds mean as hell, the Z's, both C5 and C6, sound really good with an opened up exhaust. I was actually thinking of buying a C5Z as a 3rd car... but that's wishful thinking until I hit the lottery

 

oh, and sorry about your car man. thats the stuff that scares me when im on the track, i dont know what i would do if that happened to me, since my car is a daily driver. glad to hear you walked away with no injuries

 

It was about the most entertaining day at a track I've ever had...

The car finally started working over all comers just like v8-7s are supposed to.

Fastest car I reeled in was a Ford GT but my best duels of the day were all with the red vette convertible... We had a good 6 or 7 lap battle going in two successive rounds. I finally blew a couple corners getting loose after I flat spotted my fronts so I eventually gave him the point by. It was the only time I was passed all day including the session where I stepped up a group.

 

thanks man, the car has long tube headers with high flow cats, and the actual catback is pretty much just straight pipes with resonators. dont get me wrong, i love the way it sounds under wot but for a daily driver its just to loud.

by the end of the straight i was in 5th gear and i would say rpms were around 4500 maybe 5000, i cant remember exactly. i can tell you this, before, my 4th gear redlined at 6500 and speed was 140mph, since then the rev limiter has been bumped to 7000 rpm because of the cam and stronger valve springs.

c5z's are cheap now a days, you can pick one up for around 20 grand, i picked mine up for 25000 3 years ago tomorrow, i bought it as a present to myself for my 21st birthday.

 

Wow, your car must be fun out on the track. I could definitely use something like that out there

I have some old coilovers that more than likely need to be rebuilt, a catback, downpipe, some slightly stiffer bushings and Hankook RS3 tires. Everything else is stock including a full interior. I dont know how much power I'm making but a wild guess would be somewhere around 230 rwhp. This was my 2nd time running the roval so a little more practice should get me better times.

 

damn, looked like you guys had alot of fun in blue group, i kinda regret being in white, but it was still fun!

thats a nice video, cought fris drifting

Red FD - Kensin

I will be running the ROVAL in November for sure. The summer one sounds like a nice spot to have my car overheat, so no thanks.

 

IIt let's me sneak up on people at the track. Its like the stealth bomber: you can't hear it coming but you can hear it pass you up

 

It's like a silent fart, can't hear it, but it sure does make you snarl when it goes by.

 

Got another video of my second run session. This one is part 1 of me chasing Robert around the track. Part 2 should be up later.

As soon as that civic came onto the camera I couldn't stop laughing. Sounded like a dying animal.

 

Part two of the second session: still chasing Robert around until we got stuck behind some NSX's.

I'm impressed that civic held up with you guys as well as he did. Owner could obviously drive (you can hear his heel and toe from a mile away).

 

Robert doesn't seem to pull away from you much.

 

Your guys' cars are fast. Good thing I didn't go. I would have gotten smashed.

Fris, your car is a beast!!

 

Damn Wan car is fast....maybe you can get a good time at Adams track.....LOL.

 

He's one fast paisa

 

Go for the record wan.. lmao
