lost to an 06 Z06

[robiferretti]

Since my loss to my buddies 06 Z 2 days ago I decided to take the car to a dyno to see what it makes. 499.7 rwhp on a mustang dyno bone stock with 830 miles on the clock.

Z06 that beat me put down 490 rwhp only mods are an intake and a tune.

guess factoring in the weight the results are right where they should be.

Do you really think that your GT (or any performance car) will develop as much hp new as when it is properly broken in? Why didn't you try breaking the engine in before you raced it?

Wow, that car isn't making a whole lot of power (subjectively of course :lol: ) and his is making plenty more than stock with simple mods.

50rwhp from a CAI/Tune? ???

 

[robiferretti]

his baseline stock dyno was 460rwhp he was able to gain 30 rwhp with the filter and tune.

Come on man, details. Can't leave us hanging like this.

This could get good.

 

[rangerob]

did you get it on video?

 

[satx]

your car seems a little down on power.....go get a tune and declare a "do-over" on the race :-D

Being that the dyno pull was on a Mustang dyno, those numbers are probably pretty close, because most MD seem to report 5-10% lower numbers even though Dynojet and MD are supposed to give similar results if setup properly.

Still, we need more details.

Was this on the same Mustang dyno you tested your GT on?

When properly calibrated a MD will always read 5-10% lower than a DJ.

So those numbers are correct? I would think so.

 

[Fourcam330]

The GT #s should be correct on a MD. It would make more sense to me if the vette was on a DJ. From I've seen they're putting down ~440-450rw stock corrected on a DJ.

Driver mod?

 

[Yates...Man]

Driver mod?

Hah, Exactly!

 

[rocknrod]

Say it aint so.
Yes it IS!
Get over it!

I believe most MD's are calibrated to read like a dynojet these days.

I saw an article recently where a Ford GT, new Z06 and a Viper went at it. The Z06's 1/4 mile time was actually 2/10's faster than the GT. I was shocked to see that, especially since the Z is about half the price. I ran a 1.8 mile road course two weeks ago and had both in my group. During the first session when I was getting acustomed to the course, the GT passed me on the final lap. I was WOT in high second to third and he passed me like I was sitting still. I wasn't even close to keeping up. However after the Z passed me I was able to keep fairly close to him in the straights. Now maybe he wasn't giving it full throttle, but the GT sure appeared much faster to me.
