I was on the highway ... this has nothing to do with 1/4 times.....
obviously my tt is no where near as fast as any bike from a stand still...
I wish I recorded it..

I would take that bet if I could find a vette in europe for a lot of $$$. I have a 540hp 996tt and I dont believe that the Z06 would even be close on a dry or wet road. This has been the case with all cars I ve raced with same or more hp. Reason must be the combination of torque, traction, power range and most importantly the fact that 996 t has the rear engine essentialy hooked on the real wheels= less bhp losses.

Guys, Once someone knows how to launch the z06 well and is not afraid to speed shift it at redline then it might smoke a stage 2 car noticabley. I'm telling you that it took all he had to keep from getting pulled on and I had to watch out off the line so I did not get too close to his back bumper. He is a friend after all and his car was brand new. No doubt the z06 hauls *** and can spin the tires in third gear. When you speak of shear accelration from a stand still I was surprized at how close it was. People have to remember that stage 4 or 600hp cars don't run the quarter that much quicker than stage 2. They will probably run away from a roll at 125 plus though. Most cars on the street are not in the low 12 high 11 range. We take for granted just how quick that is. The rest of you ballers runnin high 10 and low 11, rock on.

Yeah, well, that is the problem with bigger turbos. You can't spin the wheels with those big turbos. You of all people should know that! Hahaha

Seriously, you have to try the PSI Experience at least once. See if Mikey will give you a ride. Ask nicely though.

collin996tt

Do you believe in UFO or Jesus Christ?
Common. You can't expect to have a video for EVERYTHING!
Have faith in your fellow man.

collin996tt

That's right. I should've recorded my wheel spin too. Well, it's too bad we didn't.

collin996tt

Do you think a PSI 480 car is similar to an EVO stage 1 or 2 car because they use similar parts or turbos? Well, stop guessing and actually put your *** in both cars then make an assessment. Maybe you won't feel a difference, but at least try it instead of guessing.

I always liked Mike. Really nice guy and fun customer from the old days.. I'll have to ask him. Right now everything seems slow after the GT800/700s

UFO and JC no. However, the Loch Ness....

Well just doing "physics" after all you can only get so much out of a K16 and/or K24 turbo charger (or a pair of I should say). There are "limits" in terms of flow, CFM and boost but then again I'm sure you already know this. And if the programing is done right then those limits are likely both approached. I'd say look up those hex tables when you get a chance and spot the differences:P

The real delta in power starts occuring on the larger kits from different tuners that use different hardware. If you're using the same hardware you can't really expect these "huge" differences. Even if you're talking 20-30Hp at most I doubt "you" could feel that. If "you" can then we should all try and follow you around hoping for little bits and pieces or shreads of wisdom that get left behind everytime you spin your wheel inside your tire...

sharkster

Also why don't you do some true performance numbers... go to the track. Run the 1/4mile, do some dynos.. show us what it's got. I think otherwise your using "guesswork".

I'm new to the forum and enjoy out of control threads like this.

I own a Porsche and have never owned a Chevy in my life.

But you guys who are comparing two different cars with two different drivers are nuts.

You gain seconds in the driver and tenths with the car.

When making your car vs. car claims you need to have the same driver on multiple runs through a trap.

Two guys pulling while rolling doesn't mean squat as each will vary as to when they really think the other guy is going to go.

And the skill sets and commitment level while on a public street are wildly different between drivers.

I'm considering my second Porsche so have spent a lot of time on various Porsche boards lately and the mentality of Porsche owners is really cult-like.

I've heard so many claims of Porsche cars spanking the C6 Z06 it is really crazy. I realize many of you have modded cars but you better have 500 at the wheels and a lot of torque to spank the Z06.

At least you guys have modded cars, on other boards guys are claiming stock cars can beat it or at least out race it on a road with turns. Of course Porsche does build a car that can beat a new Z06 but that car is called a Carrera GT and none of the cult members I've come across own one.

I think a Z06 is ugly and feels cheap so it's not for me. But its numbers speak for themselves. When you want to bash it you need the same driver in both cars doing multiple runs and a buddy with a stop watch is not accurate enough--take it to a track and run it through the traps.

A heavier 480HP car with much less torque with all wheel drive beating a lighter car with 540 HP (dyno tests have put the Z06's output at about 540 at the engine not the claimed 505) and about 500 ft-lbs of torque and HUGE rubber? I'm calling on this one. I know what you saw, but you saw a match up of driving abilities in those two cars, not a match up of cars. No way.

Rolo

Damn woulda, shoulda, coulda been....


ZO6 Guy is a much more experienced driver of several sports cars on the road and track. TT Driver is new to the sports car world. Not a solo yet on the track.


Next therory/excuse??.....

faterikcartman

Same theory, same explanation.

Did the more experienced driver drive both cars? NO

Did you time them? NO

Was there a starting light (or did they just go by feel as to when the other guy was going to go)? NO

Were they on a closed track so no one--especially an experienced driver--wouldn't subconciously hold back? NO

Same theory here, more SPIN there
