Short video clip of the Z06

[Var]

I got my camshaft and valvesprings in with longtube headers. No cats but running stock Z06 mufflers.

sounds very mean!
I like it!

[WILDACEX187]

now that is a sports car. how much more do u like the z06 than your 240?

[jOeHaCk98]

i thought z06, but all the z06 owners were heavily against having it as a daily. And I cant handle 2 cars right now. But one day...

[ThatGuy]

Sounds good Var. I'm liking the spoiler,too.

Any reasoning?

[jOeHaCk98]

yeah, running costs is mainly what i got. I lurked some 'vette forums. Main concensus was that even though its an afforable 'super car' ( using that very loosely ) the running costs will end up stinging a bit. Most of them told me their trannies had problems (manual, the auto's were good)and Some other stuff I cant remember.

I get a ride in a 06 z06 in a few days!

[wootwoot]

How was it to ride in a street legal race car?

[Var]

Vette's are pretty good DD's.

Good gas mileage. Fairly reliable. And fully insured most of the time..just in case.

Oil changes and tires can get pretty expensive after a while.

The only place i like the 240 better was in the mountains(for ebraking fearlessly into turns) ...and in parking lots cause i didn't care if it acquired dings.

Var. How can you get a ding on a fiberglass bodied car?


Just playin. Sounds mean.

[/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/]

Im glad its the small spoiler you got and not the 6 foot tall one you were talking about getting. Sounds awesome, you get to using the tuner yet?

I used the tuner to scale down the bigger injectors that i got, and i downloaded a timing table from a guy with a very similar cam. Raised timing in the idle region so when the engine decels below 1500rpm it doesn't fall on it's face. Also changed the Primary VE table in the idle region to help the car idle better. Driveability is great so far. Raised the redline by 300rpm. Thinking of getting a baseline run done @ Racetune to check the A/F ratio. Otherwise it's 450 bucks for a dyno tune a@ Synergy Motorsports(right next door to Frank) and he's one of the best Vette tuners in Norcal.

[Marty]

very nice

[wootwoot]

What would that put your redline at currently then and an estimated power you are at?

[Var]

Stock redline is 6400 with stock power peak @ 5900(i think)
Now the redline is 6700 . Power peak should be around 6300.

I'll post the dyno sheet when i get 'er done.

[Var]

i made 409.8whp and 407 torque. Power peak is 6150 but doesn't fall off after redline till after 6500. Rev limit set to 6800. Driveability is way better as well as gas mileage.



The dyno was done on a Dynapak. It says flywheel horsepower at the top because of the software. This dyno is usually + or - 10hp from a dynojet roller dyno depending on how the car is setup.

[Jcb890]

i LOVE the z06s... hate that spoiler though.

[Var]

haha..a lot of people hate it. Which makes me like it even more

[WILDACEX187]

isnt stock hp like 400 hp?

[infinitexsound]

var, when are u gonna take it on the track and do some road racing with it?

[Var]

stock 01's make 385 flywheel, and about 340 at the wheels.

[wootwoot]

ooOooo, so it is not one of the 401hp z06's?
Even if it was a 401hp z06, they would produce 340whp with a 15% drive train loss, his would be producing 69 more whp OR 79 extra flywheel hp. But his results are even more extensive noting he started off with less hp...

[NemeGuero]

Pshhh.. I'll race you.. Hahah j/p! I love the rumbly noise of a domestic.. you just can't get that out of a 4 cyl..

[YakuzaS14]

that sounds like my gti vr6 when i took out my cat and it was open rigth after the headers i only did that for 2 days. cuz i was scared if i was to pull next to a cop i was getting pulled over for sure

Now how could they afford the car but not be able to maintain? My dad has one and the worst part I'd say is tires.
Var: Your car sounds sick as hell, and personaly I like the spoiler. Now arn't you glad you didn't get the S2k? Haha.

My friend got an S2k a couple weeks after i got my Vette. I'm VERY happy i didn't get the S2k. It's a horrible daily driver. Interior noise,no power off the line, shitty drivetrain, etc etc. I didn't want to pay 25k for another 240. Only thing it does well is handle. We traded cars for a day and it was hell for me. You can't even hear the stereo..

Tires on the Vette ARE a bitch. I wore out my fronts in 4 months, and they were brand new when i got the car.
