Twin Turbo C5 Vette gets EVOWNED

[iloveboost]

LOL, uh huh. Im not going to rehash thatbecause there is no point, but I think people know the real story. And like I posted before, if there is room for doubt, Im game for a rematch. Do you want to back the EVO?

I would from a dig.

Or 20-80mph, LOL!

[d993s]

Am I the only person who thinks its funny that bolt-on, $30k, 4 cyl lancers beat-up on $40+k, 5.7 liter twin-turbo v8's? Oh the shame...
True, the STS kits are typically for mild cars, but its not usually the system of chioce for uber-HP builds.

The STS kits are best left on automatics, since the wasted air volume from the 20 feet of piping is only delayed when you first floor it on an automatic.

What's funny is that the guy with the vette picked the 55-120 run, and he STILL lost. And although he was catching up at about 5 mph, he claims he didn't reach 120.
That's BS, because if he was catching up, he could have reached 120 BEFORE Rudy, and still be behind, and still lost. Hasn't anyone seen the difference in trap speeds at the dragstrip? A 12.9 @ 102mph Civic still beats a 13.1 @ 130 Supra with no traction.

The guy kept saying that he was catching up, which was obvious, but catching up too late is a loss.

Josh ran him on the way back (the vette guy claims he misshifted 3rd) but Josh quickshifted the fuck out of his car (as usual) and pulled a COUPLE cars on him right away, and that's before the misshift........ Rudy shifted slow and still got him.

I still have the video, not the greatest quality (shot with my pic camera in video mode, but it was all we had) if anyone wants it.

full 1/4 mile dig on the street? Get your wallet out...Im game. I should be back out soon...I hope.

I can't bet with someone else's car. If it breaks, I'm not fixing it. I know Charles is extremely consistent with his car and knows how to drive it very, very well. You sure are getting a little worked up over this, don't ya think?

[lightspeed]

Aaah. Wasn't Charles on his old setup? They should rematch once Lightspeed gets his clutch/pp stuff worked out.

Ill have clutch done soon enough. The truck and 240 are also broken right now, so Im a bit inundated with repairs
I have no beef with this evo in question, so this is the last thing Im saying on this subject.... AEM datalogs dont lie But, like I said, Im game for a rematch, if there is still uncertainty.

No, Im not worked-up at all. This horse is long-since dead. But, Im just giving you the opportunity to back-up what you are talking about.

Youre just mad that a little evo beat a turbo 'vette.

All I was implying is it would be interesting to see you guys run with his new setup. It's all in fun, I don't see why Charles wouldn't run you.

Maybe you guys can duke it out at Import Face Off in a few weeks.

It's not my turbo Vette, why would I care?

A little $2,000 honda Civic beat Clark's monster of a Supra. Does it make Clark's car any less of a monster? No. Anyone can beat another person regardless of cylinders, displacement, and power adders. Life will go on.

you care because you turned into a vette fan boy
and yes, its annoying when people spread BS rumors...esp people who werent around.
also, people with "slower" cars beat "faster" cars all the time. anything can happen in any given event.
this is getting way off topic. that evo still spanked a TT 'vette.

I would like to see this civic run a 12.9 @ 102mph..... But you are correct about the supra. The Supra is all the driver, and most of the supra owners are too stupid to even know what to do at the track! They all think you hold the clutch and gas to the floor and let your left foot slide off of the clutch to launch with 19" hard tires..... There are a selective few that know whats going on.
I ran 8.0 @ 94mph in the 1/8 when my car was pretty much stock(BPU) which is like a low 12sec pass in a supra... on 18" continentals tires(hard tire)

I also ran 10.9 @125mph in a 520ish'hp Supra with issues(coil packs started fouling up on that run). and was letting in and out of the gas

Im a different Supra owner.... I will always race from a dig if asked!

You also have an automatic with a big stall and a transbrake. Huge difference between that and trying to launch a 6 speed.
Anyway, your opinion doesnt count anymore after your talk of selling your supra to buy a vette. Blasphemy!
Actually, its been a while since Ive seen you online. I thought you were getting out of the car business

lol....I know, but it was a 6psd when I ran the 8.0, so at least gimmie that!

The only reason I was looking into the vette is because I can set the vette out for sale here in my town and if it sells to someone local I could careless... cause I didnt have anytime in it, plus someone would snatch it up pretty quickly here.

Im gonna sell it and prolly end up with a sleeper(some off the wall car) with a 2J in it. I will hit the next Varsity meet so I can see the very few people I like that are on here. I havent been in a while cause it sux most of the time, but its cool to hit it ever so often!

Hit me up if you head down this way. PM me if you dont still have my #
Ive got a 240z for sale...that would be a great car for a 2jz Actually, it has an old-school nissan-version of a 2jz in it already anyway LOL
I looked at Jeremy's z06... It seemed like a really nice car for the money. I think maybe the blue with red interior is hard for some people to take. Im not sure he ever got it fully tuned either. I need to ask him where it went.

True. Ive always been seriously impressed at how your car ran for the power it made...esp with the auto.

[RUSH]

Well the stall and the TH take so much away on the dyno, but I dont care as long as it runs good on the track. I dyno'd it at AAP one time and it made 416hp and the next day I ran a 11.1 at the suprashootout...haha, Chris at AAP said if it was a 6spd right now it should be around 850rwhp, but I dont care just as long as it runs good.

I was looking at something like your Z, but Im still browsing for something crazy. We'll see... Have you priced your Z yet?

I have your # so I will let you know.

This thread was somewhat civil until you came in here.

I'd expect no less from you.

Oh look...hydro-dousche with a useless comment in response... Very surprising.

I was mainly fucking with Daniel, who knows that.... but I guess I should have expected a comment from the ultimate z06 cheerleader.

OH SNAP!.... ouch.

LOL, Umm yeah.

[hydroshutter]

My comment wasn't regarding Z06's at all, it was about YOU....and how you're a piece of shit.

I'm a big cheerleader because I always talk about my car, LOL. No one even knew I had a vette until they saw me with it in person, or knew some of my closer friends.

[2.3 Evo 8]

Nice kill Rudy!

I'll be out again soon. I fried a coil pack last weekend and I'm just waiting for the new one to show up.

The next drag event is just around the corner.

[Nyteryder]

This thread took a left turn

[SpoolBus]

Wow im old and lame and not reading through all the shit..but where's the video..why was it removed
...ahh "plates"...that takes hummm 32.68 seconds to fix...errr
Oh and I finally got the plate for the hatch from the DMV..its offical "RICER"

[FAHHQUE700]

maybe you guys should race it out instead of "internet fights" no wait... why don't you guys just duke it out... I haven't seen a fight in a long time.

[Fast Shadow]

also the vette weighs alot more than a EVO,and ones AWD and the other is RWD

No, an FRC weighs about 3000lbs even. An Evo GSR or MR weighs 3200-3300 depending on options. An RS weighs less but still more than a Vette. And what difference does AWD or RWD make if they race from a roll?

[Lankhoss]

Welp, I wasn't here for the race but I do know the driver and the TT Vette.

It's not making much power because it's a completely stock LS1 with a TT on it, so they can't boost it much. I might be a little off on these numbers, but he was making 479rwhp at either 4 or 5psi, and says it can be turned up to "high boost" at about 8psi I think. He thought the car would make 520 on that setting, yet I've NEVER known him to run it at that setting.

The FRC's do weigh less than 3100lbs, but the TT setup is going to add weight to the car. How much? I have no idea....but it's probably heavier than 3100lbs unloaded. Also, I know this guy doesn't brake boost.

That being said, I'm still amazed he lost....but I've also never seen the car run. I've seen guys claim they made whatever horsepower numbers, then get out on the highway and not run anywhere near how they should.

I'm pretty sure he's not on this site, kinda sucks not to get his side of the story.

Well in a nutshell, his side of the story is that he was ahead of the evo by less than a fender when they shut down and he never reached 120mph

[Maniaç]

Also, I know this guy doesn't brake boost.

he did that night.

[koffebean00]

My Evo weighs 3150

With me it's 3270


RS FTW!!!!:idb:

This guy has never been in a fast car.
