it's a R1 that would not change the sticker right?

 

I dunno... are you fat?


seriously though. That's a good question I don't think I've ever read the plaque on my car. I'll check what mine says when I get home tonight.

 

Who pissed on your cheerios? Go back and read the thread. I was asking the one guy what year C6 he thought he was racing or going to race, for a performance comparison. Then I mentioned what the new 08 C6 is capable of.

Just giving these guys a baseline to know what they're going up against. Chill out bro.

Know thy competition. Real simple concept.

 

lol... sorry I meant to quote you on this statement:


(at why you thought someone pissed in my cheerios, cuz I would had thought the same thing) again sorry about that

You quoted me and then said "all they have to do is XXX to vette and it's a XXX HP" which had nothing to do with a 310 RWHP beating a STOCK C6. So that's why I asked you what your point was and what it pertained to the topic at hand. If anything it's a compliment that one has to put some rather extensive mods to beat another car that is STOCK.

Just so you know I'm a vette fan. IMO it's a superior to the FD. 11 years newer, reliable rock solid engine with 150 more ponies (and smog legal), handles extremely well, good looks (yet IMO not better looking than the fd ), has tons of room for improvement and still be smog legal.

 

^Yeah, but have you ever really felt the C6? The interior is reminiscant of a KIA in quality, body panels that can be pushed in with one finger. LEAF SPRINGS!!! I'd switch over to coilovers ASAP if I had one. Anyways, I'm just saying that they are made cheaply... but damn they are quick.

 

Yeah but I'm still a fan of them.

 

Yeah the sticker says 3210, same on a budy of mine's fd I really have never herd that they are 2770 or w/e the last guy said thats alot lighter then I thought, lol my supra ways damn near 4000 pounds!! she's fat.

 

GVWR is NOT the actual weight of the car, it is a rating. Read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVWR

 

Edit: ^^ beat me to it


sooo... I looked at mine: GVWR 3210 lbs???? Humn I had to get to the bottom of this so I made a thread.

here's what came out of it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVWR

"Gross weight is often confused with curb weight, which represents the weight of the vehicle with no passengers or cargo. The difference between gross weight and curb weight is the total passenger and cargo weight capacity of the vehicle"

there you have it 3210 lbs is maximum allowable weight.

 

Then you could see where I was like...WTF lol so that just made ever body talking about weight of c6 to fd all kinda messed up haha I give up cause we where looking at the sticker on my pops 07 c6 and it said 3245 so I guess thats off to!! like I aid I give up!! L8R

 

The Z06 seems to do damn well with leaf springs. Just like Chevy stuck with Pushrod power, vs overhead cam systems, they stick with leaf springs, over the new modern suspensions in other manufacturer's cars. Maybe they know something you don't?

 

^I said I wansn't a fan of it, not that it didn't work. Hence the "... but damn they are quick." statement. However, imagine what you could do with some adjustable coilovers and whatnot. Could be fun.

 

a z06 has leaf springs? i find that hard to beleive. i am not sure either way but can u forward some proof.

Look at #2.

 

yea they deffinately have leaf springs, and they have worked since the 60's, and pretty damn well at that. what do the race cars use?

 

The use of leaf springs in the Corvette is not to be confused with leaf spring suspensions used in trucks and older cars; they are two completely different things. The Corvettes transverse leaf springs serve the same purpose as coil springs in other vehicles, but they are lighter, allow for the vehicles mass to be closer to the ground, and allow for lighter anti-roll bars since they can assume some of that duty. They're main disadvantage is that they are more expensive than coil springs.


the author of that article on that website does a nice job in my opinion.

 

^Aye...

Wait, its Friday... aren't they racing tomorrow???
