yeah vettes run 93. I mean you know you could use a less octane fuel, but they tend to sputter, I was the proud owner of a c5, but I sold her and got a supra

 

I got a friend with a TT Mark IV supra. Nice car. Great for drag racing and highway runs, but it's a pig on the road courses/canyons. The motor is damn near indestructible, and loves mods. But a corvette with 200 less hp can keep up once the mods start piling on.

And corvettes were setup to run 91 octane, not 93. Which is why my boosted C5 runs on 91 just fine.

 

just to add onto this nasty thread..... Would i beat a auto c6 with my 310whp FD?


I just want simple non arguable answers.... thnx

 

Lots of factors. Which C6? 05-07 C6? Automatic or 6spd? Or the new LS3 powered 08' C6 with 430hp? From a roll? From a dig? To what speed/gear? Would be a good race I think.

 

Man, that is tough. Having ridden in one, I would say....the C6 will pull you gradually and waste you on the top end. It would be a fun race though, and could go either way...generally speaking.

 

Yeah my supra is a dog on the turns. but HWY mean bye bye! lol Yeah my c5 had heads and cam, I ran 93, plus 110 it was a good mix for her!

 

No a new c6 Vette would beat you. nothing agenst your car. But the vette a a better gear. it is a fare bit lighter and has more HP but it would be a pretty fun race!

 

Actually the FD is lighter. By about 300lbs or so I believe. I'd think it would be a driver's race. I'd love to see it actually.

BTW, I still love Mark IV's. If I could afford it, I'd have a TT 6spd in my garage with my other toys. And I'd be very leery of trying to run one on the highway with my boosted c5. Just because I know the power potential of that 2JZ... I wouldn't be surprised if I got smoked on top end by those suckers.

If I can just convince them to go on a road course or something with some turns.....

 

i believe its a 06 c6. For sure ill record the race when we race. All our friends (who dont know **** about rx7s) say that the vette will just rape me, hopefully ill suprise them...hopefully

 

you should be able to beat him.

Yeah, if its an '06 you should, SHOULD, be able to edge him out. Don't go out there expecting to rape him. In a straight line, the base C6's run as quick if not faster than C5 Z06's. Also, since he's auto, he can run more consistantly off the line, but won't be able to launch very easily without roasting the tires, unless its a TCS equipped model. Anyway, as long as you can run better than low 13's you should be alright. Top end, however...

 

Oh, and how long until the big race between that super badass 'Vette killer 12psi FC and the other dude's FD.

yeah my girl on the HWY is no joke, and guys she's single lol I wanna say around 800hp no new dino slip after tuning.
here she is!

 

since when does the c6 weigh less than 3000 lbs? the c6 z06 weight is 1420 kg / 3130 lbs, nevermind that the regular c6 weight is 1440 kg / 3175 lbs.

An FD with 310 RWHP should be able to take out a stock C6 that weighs 400 LBS heavier and typically dyno @ around 330-350 RWHP (depending if it's a Z51 or not).

 

That is until the C6 starts putting some mods on itself. The new Ls3 powered C6 is pushing over 500rwhp with just cam and headers.

I really need to get an LS7 cam put in my C5 pronto. The blower just isn't the equalizer it once was.

 

just cam and headers it gains more than 100 whp? bull ****!

 

laaaaame

Sorry its got intake and UD pulley too. But they're still experimenting.

426rwhp with just Headers. A cam could very easily give it 70-80rwhp depending on how aggressive you want it. The Ls3 has L92 Heads which flow significantly better than the stock LS1/LS2/LS6 heads. Combine the change in heads, with the .2litres of displacement, and the Ls3 is gaining 50rwhp over the LS2 stock for stock. Guys are averaging between 390-400rwhp on a stock LS3 because they say it's underrated and puts out more like 450bpu.

Might not do a forged LS1 motor after all when it's time for more boost.

 

so what ever happen to the race ? werent they going to go race at the track, darkphantom and who ever else was it

 

No rong, the new C6 weight is as I posted, thats right off of a corvette site. those are the specs! O and your rong about the HP also! it's 400 hp 400tk From factory dino. thats on a 07 my father kinda owns one. maybe your thinking of a diff year.

 

maybe this weekend lets see

 

he said 330-350 rwhp, not flywheel.

 

lol... ok dude I was wrong about the weight. I said that it was 3175 lbs and you say it's 3245 (estimated) so it's 60 lbs heavier than what I originally thought.

the fd weight is about 27xx lbs so that makes the C6 closer to 500 lbs heavier. But to be honest the exact weight of the FD IMO is debatable, some claim a bit less than 2700 lbs others specs claim in the mid 2700's. But either way it's way lighter than a C6 vette.

oh about the HP:

stock RWHP: 339


stock RWHP: 332


both of those dynos are comparing stock C6's VS performance mods done on the same vehicle.

 

You are gonna have to excuse me here but what's your point? the question was about a 310 RWHP FD VS a STOCK C6? this isn't a fd is > than C6 conversation.

 

why does my rx7 read 3210 curb weight?
