Daytime run video from the drive down to SDR this weekend.

[iloveboost]

Please note; none of the other cars I raced had a passenger. Retro is actually running a 125 shot.

Good runs, guys.

[03CobraAV8R]

Damn I knew there was something I forgot to add to it (noting no passengers in all other cars) - that's usually a 1 to ~1.5 car difference

[Stol3n]

Rep'd, good stuff Rick! too bad we didn't have a camera for our races .

[198plus]

Nice video Rick

True- sure I am not far off from you +1 in the Z vs my base model and my 225lbs.


Might as well take the nitrous off my list of mods as that was not a nitrous run for me. Bottle has been closed for almost 2 weeks now.

Daniel,
2 things.........

Your $hit is loud as hell.......cant even hear mine revving really.
Lets swap nx press guages; I like yours better for some reason.

Nice vid Rick.........it was some fun times for sure.

It's funny how you can keep up with a car making over 150rwhp and 150ft lbs of torque more than you while you're off the bottle. Please forgive me for not believing you.

This is why I called you out first. Get your car tuned and we'll line them up again.

I would bet he wasn't spraying, I have run a few C5ZO6's with spray with my old car and they where always close runs. When I run Marshall it's dead even with him off the bottle. He has a pretty fast C6 and if you ever what to run him for a little cash my money would be on him

Looks like you guys had a blast. Wish I could have made it

Cool. I'd definitely love to run him on the bottle if he wasn't already. I (and a few others from that day) found it a little hard to believe he wasn't spraying. Hence the callout, I want to see what he's got when he's running at 100%. Something's always going on with his car. I don't care how strong a cam-only C6 coupe runs, there's no way he'll keep up with me while I'm on the bottle and he's running on motor.

55mph until whenever works for me, Marshall. Again, if I get my wheels and tires by the time we run, I'll run whatever roll you'd like.

[iloveboost]

Come to think of it, he raced Boris on motor and he lost by 1-1.5 cars (if I remember the thread correctly). I raced Boris on motor and lost by .5-1 car also. Unless he found 100rwhp more on his NA retune since then I seriously doubt he was running me on motor.

Again, it doesn't matter. We can run tonight to settle this if you want.

[198plus]

1 to 1.5 cars is about 25 hp not a 100 hp and he found a few more hp before the spray, here is an example of 25 hp difference

you dont remember correctly........it was a fender I lost by. Didnt find 100hp but did find some more power on my NA tune.

Well.. the night i ran marshel my car was running like **** !! I still pulled on him...
the day i was running you my car was running GREAT .. well not that great but much better then v.s marshel.... and plus i had passanger when i was racing u and v.s marshael i didnt have a passanger.... so i dont understand how is marshel keeping up with u ALL MOTOR hehehe... lol

Marshel got ? hahaha

bottle on bottle run is highly anticipated.


Whomever thinks I was on bottle is sadly mistaken. If I hit the bottle on "that" run it would have been one ugly result.:idb:


Again I dont believe your car was spraying the whole run. Low bottle pressure or something else was happening. With the power I suspect your car to be making you couldnt tell the difference of loss in power?

I can tell a lost in power in my car on a hot day and thats nothing compared to what you had to be down that day.

[03CobraAV8R]

Now that I think about it I was actually behind you and Daniel when you guys did that run - and you all weren't pulling away much - granted you all got the jump but it certainly didn't look like either of you were on spray.

So Daniel, you may not have been making as much HP as you thought?

[LEAVINU]

I would bet he wasn't spraying

You know I dont BS old man..........all motor baby!

I dont think its funny because I dont believe you were at full potential. Did you check your bottle pressure prior to our run? As you said and as I believe, I am NOT stupid, there is no way I should stay with you like that with me on motor. My guess would be low bottle pressure or your kit was in and out during the run.

I dont BS..........remember I was the first vette on here to say i had a bottle unlike some.



Now I have a question about your integrity though......you told me via PM you were spraying a 75 shot but yet claim you make over 150rwhp more on the bottle..........

[iloveboost]

When was that PM? My original intentions were a 75 shot. As fate would have it, I feel a little frisky sometimes and can't help but to listen to the little devil on my shoulder. If the motor goes, oh well, it was time for a stroker.

And yes, if your numbers are in your sig are accurate, I make well over 150rwhp than you right now. It might be a little more once I up the jets.

When do you get it retuned? There's only one way to really settle it. I'm ready when you are but I want a day run so the video is clear.

[LEAVINU]

When was that PM?

I was advised to keep it with a 75 shot to try to keep the bottom end together



......your very words from a PM in my inbox.

[LEAVINU]

Will make the call in a few and let you know but remember its a holiday week. People with real jobs dont work.

Daniel what did your car run at the track sunday ???????????

Please note; none of the other cars I raced had a passenger. Retro is actually running a 125 shot.

Good runs, guys.

[iloveboost]

Daniel what did your car run at the track sunday ???????????

It ran a 0.00 @ 0mph. I didn't run it at the track due to lack of tires. I should say, lack of tread on tires. Picking up the new wheels on Saturday.

[198plus]

That et doesn't sound right for the mph you ran
