Got SMOKED by C6Z

[89shoyamaha]

I am on my way to work and the expressway merges in another and behind me is a C6Z coming up kinda slow. Traffic backs up a little and the right lane opens up and he goes around me looking over and smiling. I knew I would lose but wanted to play anyway. So I follow in 3rd and he hits it and so do I. He pulls as hard as I expected, this was from about 70mph to about 90-100 where he shuts down about 1.5 to 2 cars ahead. He did wave by to me as he left. The 2nd run he is waiting for me and I start to pull beside hoping to get the hit and let him run me down but I can't find 3rd and end up in 5th. Well he left real good and then slowed down and smiles again. I give him a grin and a thumbs up and go to work. T56 OWNERS FIND THE LINK ON CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT IT WORKS! I CAN NOW FIND 3RD! The car was beautiful and faster than a mother!

glad to hear you had fun, while getting owned.lol good to hear he was a sport about it too. i'm assuming you have either an 03 or 04? mods? did he sound stock?

 

[89shoyamaha]

I have an 03 with bassani catted x, mac catback, bbk t-body & cold air, and 95mm C&L. I believe it was tuned by the previous owner as it has about 12 to 1 A/F ratio. I think he was stock.

 

[THAITED]

What is your number. That was a nice run, I don't know about 12-1 A/F though, it might be too dangerous for me mine is at 11 range.

Sounds like you had some fun. Thats always the best and fastest way to get to work

There's no shame in losing a race to a C6Z.

Geting a firewall adjuster and metal quadrant makes it even better.....
I had the hardest time with my car before I did this mod, It shifted very inconsistently, now its fun to drive again.:burnout:

 

[89shoyamaha]

I want to get it dynoed and make some quarter passes when the weather breaks. I have never been down the 1320' & need some practice especially getting out of the hole. If I were to guess I would say it is putting down about 400 to the wheels. Does this sound about right with my mods?

Sweet! Sounds like fun and glad to see another local on here. :beer:

 

[Z06]

sounds fun man, i like to hear ppl not whine about their losses! good team player!

Cars are normally only as fast as their drivers! :thumbsup::coolman::beer:

Get up upper, a lower, and a port........might be able to keep up with a stock one for the first few gears. Those things pull hard in the end of the quater mile. 12.0 should be fine my tuner says the 11.7-12.2 range is good. What type of tires are you going to run when you get to the track? I have only made passes on street tires and the best 60 ft I have made has been a 2s flat.

 

[T-Pain808]

I can't stand losing, but atleast you where a good sport about it.

I do not know maybe BFG or Nitto dr's

 

[Quik Z06]

Well BFG's will definitely hook better than the Nitto's
