How to blow the doors off a C6 Z06!

A 300HP Mustang with a Griggs Racing GR40 suspension runs down two 550HP track prepared C6 Z06 Corvettes.

Had to make this one for all the nay-sayers... All the cars have track wheels, tires and brakes. Watch it, its gooood!

very good driving!
damn, mustangs when track modified and driven right are really good track cars for there decent weight and decent power.

how do blower add/modified mustangs do on the track after 5+ laps? do they get pretty heat soaked?

Pics are here:

My car is obviously N/A but yes a supercharged or turbocharged can survive track days as long as the cooling systems are built for the task. The Revan Racing cooling packages for example can keep supercharged cars that use water-to-air cooling in check on the track.

The Vortech/Paxton kits that are inter-cooled also work well on the track.

Damn, C, you beat me to it...

What everyone here needs to realize is that Colin's car is slow for a Griggs car, which makes this video and his driving skill that much more impressive.

Rock on, C

Thanks Jay, the fact that I was down by 250HP only makes it that much sweeter. I'd love to drive your monster sometime. Looking forward to seeing you at the track.

Jay is right, I do have the slowest car in the Griggs stable, think about that. Imagine what it would be like if it had 550HP... Truthfully having only 300HP has been a really good experience by forcing me to be a better driver. After all if I make a mistake, I can't just put my foot down and make up the distance.

Colin

Sick driving!

Man makes me think the 2011 track pack GTs with a few griggs goodies is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Well that speaks volumes about the Griggs Racing GR40 suspension and the driver behind the wheel! Who says SRA's can't be made to handle!?

You are one Hell of a driver!!! Its the guys like you that keep the Corvette owners with the penis extensions in check.

On the local forums there is a guy that belongs to the local Porsche club. He invites his buddy with a early 90's Swift GTi (basically stock engine but heavily modified suspension) to keep every ones egos in check at their track days.

surely case of driver beating driver. I one time you did get loose, it was in the marbles. Other then that, your decent, or above average not doubt. Should've took out the Z's out for a lap or 2, would've found out that your 15+ seconds faster with them then the Stanger. Good Shit!!!
