You know the Z06 guy won't race you unless its a 70 mph roll. :lol:
I can make up stupid race rules to...
I'll race both the Z's... but 3 passenger's in each car. :lol:

Tell him to meet you at the strip.:read:
i'm not talking about your crew. i'm talking about you and your Shelby. like i said before let me or Chris know whenever you want to come down, and get some runs in.

all i want to know is if you got pulled by a stock silver C6 Z06?:-D
You seem to be speaking for you buddy so dont preach to the choir.
I dont think so but I'm not certain, do your have a name of this Silver vette? If I did I'm not scared to say. GT500's stock vs. a ZO6 is far from a close race. Power to weight the ZO6 has the GT500 out matched. My car with it's current setup on the other hand is a different story. I could go on with this shit all night.....I need to prove nothing to you as I could care less of you or your buddy. I extended a race to you, the door is open.........
Chris, as people have already stated, a lighter and more aerodynamic car on a roll like that pulling on a brick like a GT500 is kind of a no-brainer.
With that gigglegas, he brought his own atmosphere in a bottle. His intake charge temps were cold all the way to the valves man, look at that bottle pressure he sprayed at! The process of sublimation is huge when there's that much differential and the resulting drop in his intake charge had to be gigantic. You on the other hand, regardless of how good of a heat exchanger you have, had to have quite a disadvantage there. Just having a little 50-shot would really drop your charge temps dramatically.
"horsepower is not horsepower"
Also, people may not agree but I'd bet if you had the stock 3.31 gears you would pull harder at those speeds than you would with the 3.73's. If you are racing from a dig, the 3.73's will get you out of the hole faster with such a heavy car, but on a roll at 65 MPH, I dunno, I think the higher numerical gears are not the ticket for that kind of race. I've been racing a LONG time and back in the day when there were almost no imports on the road, and people ran around with 4.11's or 4.56's and topped out at 112 MPH (!) guys who had "highway gears" knew you could pull it out at the top end on a "1/4 mile-type" car if you ran them from a roll. You'd pull HARD and pass them up as they are getting to the top of 4th and running out of gear. Highway gears rule in these roll races.
Also wondering what RPM you are at and what gear you were in when you were racing the Vette? Some guys who "roll race" start too low in the powerband and get pulled on. And that's not contradictory to the "highway gears" comment.
Anyway, run it from a dig at the dragstrip man. Real races start at zero.

Made some progress today, the new kooks headers are installed!
lookin good...........
yea me also... sorry...
Looks good..........now you know we need some videos with good sound!!!!!
Wasnt you.. the video comments probably would have lasted a coupla of posts...the Vette guy must have figured the 2 post about the video already werent enough so he needed to come into the GT500 forum and flap his gums.

Just landed in California, so no more work on the car till next Monday.
Well guys she's almost done. I just have the electronics for the Zex left and to re-install the K-member. I hope to get here tuned on the dyno first thing next week. I can't wait to see the results.
