Default 951 2.8L vs H/C/I Camaro vs TT Camaro

I suppose it is time to show you what the little 2.8L can do, in Mexico of course.

951 2.8L (14lbs) vs Camaro SS 355ci (Heads, Cam, Intake, Full Exhaust, Shift Kit, Etc)

951 2.8L (14lbs) vs Camaro LS1 Twin Turbo (10lbs)

Nice runs. I figured the TT camaro would win. Might need a few more mods to keep up with that guy.

The tt camero took a while to spin up those turbos though, you would have him on a road course with short straights.

Well, I am betting the Camaro was only built for straight line speed, so really any turns would be bad for that car.

Unfortunately he built that car to handle, we are pretty even at Gingerman Raceway. He has two 60-1 Turbochargers, I only have one K series turbo

Yeah, that loss really hurt. It would really inflate my ego seeing that thing try to take a corner. I suppose its time to remove the cycling valve and autothority banjo bolt, time to fit a dual port wastegate and crank the boost up a bit. I have also been tooling with the idea of installing a large turbocharger.

Well I will have to give you a call. I am pretty happy with the cars performance so far but I would really like to get into the 11s and trap closer to 130mph in the 1/4 mile. My goal has always been to beat 95one.
