a convertible vette weighs a lot more than 3200lbs. It's believable.

 

yup convertables weight a good amount more. so its believable. and whats with all this gearing talk, they are not mustangs. special gears dont make your car that much faster. they will slightly help your acceleration while hurting your top end.

 

Convertibles weigh less than 50lbs more thank coupes. They weigh less than one hundred pounds more than a Z06. (That's holding all other accessories constant)

I'm not kidding, look it up. They don't make convertible frames like they used to.

 

why is it so hard to believe that a nsx can beat a zo6 whats the big deal i mean i seen a 85 ford escort beat a viper ive seen a honda civic hatch back beat a vett ive even seen a prowler beat a veat so why is it hard that a nsx beat a vett there not all that really the nsx is a very fast car even for it to be a v6 its fast because its a light car its not impossible to beat a corvette its really not

 

your right its only like at 35 lbs difference in curb weight. that pretty impressive for a convertable.

 

but my questions is why is it so hard to believe that he beat a zo6 regardles of the fact that hes in a nsx

 

He didnt' race a z06, it was a C6 convertible we already figured that out. I would call bs if he said it was a C6 Z06 and was running less than ~200 shot of nitrous.

I didn't say I don't believe him. I'm just trying to flush out why he won. That's why I asked how much nitrous he had. I'm willing to bet the "driver mod" had a lot to do with it, which is actually a compliment to him when you think about it.

Yeah, the convertibles dont weigh as much because chevy made the subframe so rigid for handling, that they weren't required to add much to make the convertible safe. Plus all the convertible top components have become much lighter over the years.

 

ok people crazier things have happened and check what it says that all kills are welcome on the forum even if the vette driver sucked, it was his fault anyways.
so stop wining
and nice kill man

 

NO PISTONS i agree regardless if its a c or a z06 i remember when i had my merkur xr4ti and i use to smoke mustangs with my stock 2.3 l turbo and people didnt believe me until they saw me doing it man i loved that car

 

I want an XR4Ti

 

Who should really stop whining? This is a kill section on an internet car forum. The kind of place that is notorious for sceptisism.

Seriously, just look at the numbers. Most C6s run around a mid to high 12 bone stock (C6 Z06s run 11s). Most NSXs, depending on the year (which he never specified) run anywhere between a low 13 to a low 14. An 80 shot of nitrous could very well make up that difference, but it more than warrants some questioning.

Once again, not calling him a liar, but god forbid he should be asked to substantiate his claim on a car forum.

 

You're still looking at it as car vs car and not car AND driver vs car AND driver vs environmental factors. If the track was cool some of that LSx torque would go straight into wheel spin. 30hp and 100lbs isn't that big of a difference between two street cars. He got the jump and was being reeled back in. Why is THAT so hard to believe?

lol... if it was a torqueless rx-7 down 30hp its expected to always win though huh, guys?

 

ME too i miss my car

 

XR4Tis are cool. It's not really surprising you beat a few mustangs in it. Doesn't it have the same turbo 2.3liter that the Turbo SVO fox-bodies had?

 

yeah, but the 2.3L SVO had more power and an intercooler.

 

YEA that was the only thing but right before it was taking from me i was going to drop a 5.0 rebuilt motor with a big huge turbo and intercooler with the t4 tranny it was going to give me 400 whp man i was going to love it and it was rwd now i really want to cry i miss that car that is the only ford i would drive reason is, because its german made

 

Not hard to believe that the vette was reeling him in, and I mentioned the driver. The one in the vette must have sucked and spun the hell out of his tires in first. He probably hooked up halfway through, or even as far as second gear.

Im just saying, with that weight difference, the power difference, and the amount of torque that both have, the vette (with a decent driver) WILL win.

30 hp, about 100 ftlbs of torque, and 100 lbs of weight. Thats a slightly BIG difference in a street car. I played with an NSX one time in my 01 Z06, he never stood a chance.

I would still have to see this to believe it. I know how much wheelspin a vette can have if you dump too much torque to the wheels from a dig. 2k and up and youll spin at least halfway, if you feather the gas. 2.5 and up, you might as well just roll down your windows and wave.

 

I'm not gettin on your case at all or anything though, but you're still thinking in "ideal" situations. The street/street cars/street environment/driver abilities are far from ideal.

 

errr...if you were going to put a 5.0 in an XR4Ti, it's a good thing it was taken from you..

as well if you could only squeeze 400rwhp out of a turbo 5.0...that's just sad, I've seen guys get 385 N/A hp

 

about the wining
well rotary noob is doing a good job of that.
not to be mean and disrespect rotary noob because i know you have a corvette
but you seem mad that he beat a corvette and try to say everything you know to make it seem like the best.
if i were you i would forget it and congradulate the guy
give him some credit

 

i did to and my brother talked me into doing that and now that i think about it im glad i didnt because i dont like those engines now and i would have been mad if i would have did it but i seen on the internet one day this guy took his engine and fixed it up and got about 400 rwhp and was selling it for about 12000 i was shocked but im glad its gone too that car gave me so many problems and it was hard to find parts for it but it was a fun car to have no doubt

 

For the record convertible C6 M6 weights 3199 lbs.. Dumb "kill" not a kill whatsoever..but a ricer let out and turn blinkers on. Nice death.

 

Why bash the guy mabe he really dont know much about these cars.

 

Because he said it's a kill and let off right before C6 was about to walk him. And, turned blinkers on!

 

as i said in his other thread and i mean this this sounds like something i would write for one3 of my INital D fanfictions of Street racing fictons that i write.
