is that to wheels?doesnt the turbo make 200+?
dam
Nah the 87 has lower compression rotors and a different turbo so it makes a little less power. When I had my exhaust on it was putting down 216 to the wheels, not bad for a $300 exhaust on an otherwise stock car.

yea,thats real good..when u putting it back on,lol
Good question, I took it off when I got my motor rebuilt and when we did that I realized that the resonator blew in half. So as soon as I get a test pipe made, it'll go back on.

nice,is this a whole setup or just catback?
full 3" turbo back. No cats. Also results in lots of flames.

im just running a cat,i need a good bit of work to make mine quicker
As a matter of fact, yes. I have compared the 2, and the build quality of a Viper did seem better then a C5. But once again, im not comparing performance of the cars, so dont think i am, im just saying the build quality of the Corvette (as well as pretty much all GM cars) is cheap and toy-like.
Do us a favor, go blow up another motor.
ahhh.. dump the cat and get the RB true-dual header and exhaust like the ITS cars run ...with the dual N1 syyle mufflers on one side of the bumper
im just running a cat,i need a good bit of work to make mine quicker
well, at least a Corvette isn't as much as a waste of money as the "800FWHP" Civic in the other thread......
agree,lol........cat is all i can afford without,making a autozone RX-7
Ok i guess we are slow dick heads
Go find a stock viper that will run high 10's and then come back and run your mouth!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=469NvIOiz7U

Now few post ago you where talking about reading shit and where the hell did you hear that you didn't i guess you read it go fucking figure.^^^^^ that actually wasnt directed towards you, i put the wrong name. But thank you for the information and exact specs.i do know the C6 ZO6 is lighter b/c of the aluminum frame. but they tend to snap...from what ive heard
198plus, being a 50 year old man I would think you would possess some form of maturity and class. You have a nice car, and that's lovely, but all you do is gloat about it on these boards like it's the best thing since sliced bread. Ease up man, it's great that you love your car but you come off as extremely arrogant.
Oh, one more thing. You aren't the only, or even the first C6Z on this site...

ha ha 198plus im in school studying environment engineering right now so give me 30 years and ill see if i can go and buy something some company has already made fast. Come on man I know you had to start out on some pos muscle car that you loved and made as fast as you could with not much money.
Why do you have to bring 350Z's into the conversation?
just joking... I know the Z doesn't cost 70K - but the interior guages are designed after the old ones....
designing something after an older model is fine, but vettes still look like they're using the SAME stuff.
Been there and done that and your right sounds like your headed in right direction but if you are going to be a engineer you want have to wait 30 years before you by one
Well i'am not gloating about my car really could give a shit about my car i didn't start this when you start bashing other cars that you know nothing about then you should take a look at yourself to see if you have any class you haven't heard me say anything about anyone's car and i'am sure which your are proud of your car and thats cool you should be and i assure you i'am not arrogant i'am no better than anyone else.
Wow. That must have been one of the longist sentences ever recorded. You might want to submit that to the Guinness Book of World Records.
most vette owners are assholes which you are turning out to be. u have to admit your car isnt the greatest thing in the world, but vette owners don't understand that yet....
I was looking at Vipers and Z06s when I bought my C5Z.
You will get more bang for the buck with a Corvette.
Sure, look at the bad roof on some of the C6Zs, now look at most ALL Vipers and their front ends not lining up with their headlights. C6Z w/ just drag radials runs 10s and the Viper... ? Not to mention the huge difference in price on the new ones. Test after test came back with the same results. Sure, the Viper isn't too far behind the Z06... but then there's the price factor.
This debate can go on all day long. I looked at both, researched plenty. If it's not your cup of tea, so be it. Don't generalize everyone. I'm sure someone could generalize you (TRYMY4.0) about being a daddy's boy and having everything bought for him. Point is, everyone's different and driving a certain car will not automatically make you a dick. You didn't seem as snotty when I met you in person (bought the Cobalt boost gauge from you a while back).
As for Wal-Mart, go hate on something else. It's all you do in every post. I'd LOVE to see what kind of rocket on wheels you drive. Must be a Ferrari the way you talk about everyone else's cars.
As for kayfuNk, well... he drives a 350Z. I'd be bitter too if I paid $30,000 for a 235whp car.
time out. Vipers are not meant for qtr mile passes. They are meant for the road courses. Back in the day, LeMans had numerous restrictions on the vipers to slow them down b/c GM would bitch about how fast they were. And the Corvettes were running a non production motor. True, now the Zo6s are pretty quick and can handle the tracks a lot more. But, your comparing the C6 and the SRT. The C6 is 70k. The SRT 90k. But, you go back a few years, get a 98 for 45k, spend 5-10k on the motor, you've got 700-1000hp. The SRTs are a little over priced, but the viper over all has the better bang for the buck.
my dad has a '06 SRT-10 Coupe and with a few mods he could have well over 800hp. But the car is meant for corners, not straight lines.

i am not generalizing everyone. just most, I never said ALL vette owners. I said typically most. Me? i'm a daddy's boy? I bought my own car, I'm still paying it off. I paid for my motors, motor build, s/c, tune, rims, EVERYTHING was paid by me. I work on my own car too, my blood sweat and tears are in my car. Not anyone else.
why the fuck are you bashing on kayfunk? he didn't say shit about you. He said about the interior of the car. He wasn't knocking anyone. that was uncalled for.
The Carbon Fibered R6
Perhaps I should've rephrased it a little. Not sure why the Corvette hate, but I take it back, kayfuNk.
I'll rephrase with: I'll take a cheap interior over an overpriced and underpowered Nissan any day of the week.
Cars are cars. One will take less money to make go faster. One will always be prettier. One will always be cheaper. Who cares...
...still waiting to see what kind of supercar Wal-Mart drives.
lol. since ur name is ILOVEBOOST, is your ZO6 the german name? the one with the TT? its like,...lingerfelter...or something lol.
The Carbon Fibered R6
My name was from my 630whp Integra. I haven't bothered to change it.
It's Lingenfelter, by the way. Think of it as Hennessy is to Vipers, Lingenfelter is to Corvettes.
I kno, i just didn't know how to spell it. lol. My buddy has one. love it.
The Carbon Fibered R6
Yeah. I couldn't justify the price difference between the C5Z and C6Z. My buddy's looking at a Viper GTS. He's torn between the C5Z and GTS.I kno, i just didn't know how to spell it. lol. My buddy has one. love it.
Edit: And the Lingenfelter 427TT package costs almost as much as the car. 750hp, 3yr/36k mile warranty but with a price tag to go with it.
well, if your buddy needs some help seeing the light...cough viper cough.
you going this sunday?
The Carbon Fibered R6
Well,theres a lot of stuff i hate, but im not 'hating', just stating a opinion. But once again, im not comparing performance of these cars at all. I never said they werent fast.. as a matter of fact, i did say they are. I'm just saying that GM could have done a way better job of putting them together for what they charge. But there are a majority of 'Vette owners who think their shit dont stink, as with many groups of car owners. I'm sure the same things could be said about most of these owners of popular cars, just some get more publicised then others....Mustangs,Camaros,Supras,EVos...the list goes on. But the thread started isnt exactly breaking the mold of being a stereotypical owner. When you catch me making BS claims about stuff and personally attacking you, then you can pick on me, because im not picking on you personally by any means.I was looking at Vipers and Z06s when I bought my C5Z.

What i drive is no matter, i dont put my car on any kind of podium and think its god. Yes its a sports car, but i know my niche in the 'food chain' , if you want to call it that.
Yeah, I'll probably make my way down if you're talking about the SELOC meet.well, if your buddy needs some help seeing the light...cough viper cough.
you going this sunday?
Going to order me some 18x11.5 CCWs for the back since my 19s have very little tire options out there. I'm in no rush since my car is basically stock.
I'll see ya Sunday if you're out there.
THANK YOU
intelligent responseTHANK YOU
iloveboost-hopefully i will be able to make it down there. see yah there
The Carbon Fibered R6
if i could buy a GTS or C5Z,id take the GTS in a hearbeat....i really want a ZR-1 though...and the reason corvette gets all this,is because itts been around for 50 years,so maybe if the viper keeps goin, it will be known as an american classic sports car.
Obviously that was banned because they dont want kids to get the idea to get in a car like that and drive off. It's just the mere thought of having kids watching the commercial and getting in there dadies car and ride thru the sky, lol.
