I was driving back from Santa Cruz to Vallejo and about ten minutes intot the drive I noticed a nice black C6 as I passed it around 72mph.

I look back to see if he changed speeds and sure enough he wanted to see whats up with my car. So he is pacing me until we hit a straight away and he comes up next to me and nails it around 70mph, so I do the same and walked him easily and shut down around 115mph.

So he cruises back up and I here him yell out the window, "your car is a POS!" and I just waved and went on my way.

About an hour later I noticed a car trying to catch up to me as I was going about 80mph. I slowed down a little and as soon as he got along side of me he braked and slowed down to pace me. I didn't know what it was at first but it looked huge and slow. So when he had trailed back a bit, I didnt think much of it, until he decided he would do some sort of flyby. I thought it didnt stand a chance even with a 20-30mph head start so I didnt floor it until he was at my side. I quickly walked him and shut down at about 115mph again. What confused me is how well the impala hung with me. I pulled on him with ease but not like a car that is only trapping 100-105, it seemed like his car had to be as powerful as a C5. I dont know but I figure he had some mods done to it. I always heard the 94-96 impalas have good topend, I guess they do.

I trap 118 in my track setup, so with slightly less boost and more weight I probably would lose a couple mph so 115-116ish.

Fun races against those nasty LSX engines.

you beat a c6 vette bs

you beat a c6 vette bs
Uh, his car is about a second faster in the 1/4 than a C6 vette. :screwy:

Holy shit man, didn't know you were so close. I live in Salinas. Maybe we could meet up some time.

I would have to agree.........am I missing something here are vettes supposed to be unbeatable...cause I didnt know that......

by the way nice kill jeff you have one nasty ass gtp...keep up the good work.....oh yeah still racing at sac race way....

Nice runs. People do all kind of things to those old Impalas to make big hp.

I would have to agree.........am I missing something here are vettes supposed to be unbeatable...cause I didnt know that......

For stock SRT-4s they are anyways. :wink:

Nice runs and sweet car you have there.

I'm a little confused myself....the new C6 runs 11.7 stock...I thought that's right about what you were running Jeff?

I'm a little confused myself....the new C6 runs 11.7 stock...I thought that's right about what you were running Jeff?

The new c6 I lined up with went 12.89. The car was brand new though(didn't even have a tag on it). That's the sure way to break them in right, eh? :grinyes:

I'm a little confused myself....the new C6 runs 11.7 stock...

umm... no

I'm a little confused myself....the new C6 runs 11.7 stock...I thought that's right about what you were running Jeff?


That's the C6 Z06.

For stock SRT-4s they are anyways. :wink:

ohhh..... ok.....I get it.....its kinda like the stock SRT is unbeatable to the silverado........ :wink:

Good kill. You have a wicked setup jeff, how much havey ou put into her?

alot

ohhh..... ok.....I get it.....its kinda like the stock SRT is unbeatable to the silverado........ :wink:

You said that to the wrong guy lol.


That's the C6 Z06.

OOHHH duh!

That "puny" little silverado would easily eat an SRT-4, and come back for seconds

Thanks. It was nice to finally get some more street races.


I have put in 5-6K but only 3-4K if you dont include the transmission. I am still on my original built trans. :) The stocker never died completely but nearly wore out at 50K miles.

Luckily I have received a sponsership from ZZperformance so I should be able to add some power this winter.

The current tentative plan is to add a larger cam and do alot of work on the heads. Also Ill be swapping in a better IC core, possibly dropping another 50lbs from the car(rear window/GA front brakes), and maybe getting larger headers.

Right now I have around 350-360whp and with this stuff I should be ~400whp. Or atleast that is the goal. :p

That "puny" little silverado would easily eat an SRT-4, and come back for seconds
Ain't that the truth!!!



Nice races Jeff. Can't wait to get my car back out and see if I can't find me a C6. Not sure it would be all that fair though.
Those Impala SS's had LT1's in them. If they are the bigger late 90's ones I am thinking of. Can be fairly quick with some work.

That "puny" little silverado would easily eat an SRT-4, and come back for seconds

yessss....once again stock to stock.....uhhhhh...not going to happen......modifed to stock.....possible..........cause if a stock silverado could beat a "puny"stock srt I would be driving my 03 silverado stepside vortec v8 instead of my boosted 4.......

Holy frig Jeff, 5-6k and you're running mid 11's?? That is awesome! I am getting married in the Spring and will need a 4 door (getting rid of the VR4 hopefully)...but I want a nice one. I was thinking of either an Altima SE-R or the new turbo Mazda 6. I guess now getting a GTP and modding it will have to be a very strong consideration. Not too many Altimas walking C6's. Nice kill btw. Also, where do you get all of your parts?

[QUOTE=209 SRT]modifed to stock.....possible.........QUOTE]

modified to stock....possible?!?!?! Is this guy for real? Let me know if you ever want to get that srt-4 any good times, then we can load it up on the back of a trailer and I'll tow it down the 1320. I promise you it will be a better time than what you have posted and I'll even let you have the slip to impress all of the ladies. :naughty:

FWIW....you can easily get that 03 truck to run over a second faster than your stock srt-4 and still stay all motor.

:lol: Can you please trailer my Honda down the 1/4? I want to run 12's!!

OMG....another srt-4/neon post

When will it end?! Seriously, almost every post for the past week has either been about a grand am or a neon or an srt-4. Can we move off that topic?

zzperformance.com
and
digitalhorsepowerinc.com
moradpartscompany.com (for low mileage used engines/trans if you need it)

It's beginning to sounds like this 209 SRT guy is another one of them SRT-4 fanboiiiiiis...sigh.

BTW, congrats to you, boosted1. We do some stupid things for women...include getting rid of a VR4 for a 4-door family car...yeesh.

Jeff, you have got one kick ass motherf**king car man. I watched your 11 sec 1/4 vid, how the hell did you NOT get wheel spin with that car having so much torque for a FWD..? I know you had slick on, but damn i thought you'd be spinning through 1st and into second with a supercharger like yours. Ah forget it, you're probably a good driver...i know myself, i'd be spinning through 5th..lol.

Hanging with a vette on the highway, especially a C6 is admirable..period....WALKING a C6 is just kickass all the way. Did that a-hole really say your car was a POS..? What a d*ck. Those GTP's are nice, they are really big though so i bet you can get like over 300lbs off the car with deadening/other things....but honestly i'd keep all that for comfort/stock appeal.

Yeah, I could never get rid of stuff like that either, i like it too much

If you get rid of sound deadening (which acts as insulation also) you'll have MUCH colder winters, and MUCH hotter summers.

If anything i would imagine you want weight for the fwd traction..but that's in the front only.

Hey Jeff, did you ever put (forgot the name of them) those clamp/vice things on your rear coil shocks to keep them solid..so you don't get "ass-squat" on the car...alot of fwd'ers do that just for the 1/4 to get like 2-3 tenths off.

great to know skip and my bike would rape your modded truck at the track who cares..........BUT ONCE AGAIN I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR MODDED SILVERADO VS MY STOCK SRT if in deed your truck runs 11s like it seems then its obvious that 11s is faster than 13s......but modded to modded thats a different story but what I am saying is stock to stock...you would lose......baddly

but what I am saying is stock to stock...you would lose......baddly

No shit it's a truck.

He deserves way more credit for making a truck run 11s than anyone with a car that runs 11s. My hat's off to you Slowprocess!

But on the other hand anyone who can get a neon to run 11s and not break deserves credit too! :lol:

Thanks, it is really easy to break the tires lose with this car even with the slicks, I end up feathering the launches. On the street I can break them loose at 60-70mph.
:eek:

Yeah the car is about 3550lbs w/o driver stock and I have removed quite a bit of weight. Lets just say its a little lighter than a C6 when I race at the track, on the street I add about ~100lbs back. :))
How else can I get this thing moving with only ~350whp. :icon16: :smile:

In some of my vids you can even see the bumper fluttering, LOL.

I did finally lock up the rear suspension the last time I hit the track, wow what a difference. No rear sag and the tires stay planted.


Oh yeah,
11sec trucks are the shiznit. :grinyes:

1...............exactly my point

2...............something more original pleazzzzz :cwm27:

There is nothing more original, Neon's break, that's all there is to it. Can't really spice that up.

you beat a c6 vette bs

wow.....you are stupid

....and good kill jeff...

and trucks are made for pulling stumps and crushin cars....there ain't nuthin like it!! heeeeehawwwww!!! dang on city boys makin there trucks functional and beat summa dem fancy cars....they even take a shower more than once a week!! :licka:

Hey Jeff, what kind of top end speed does your car have? What's the fastest you've had it?

Hey Jeff, what kind of top end speed does your car have? What's the fastest you've had it?
145mph but that was awhile ago. I am trying to live by the age old rule "dont drive faster than your trap speed"

Wow Jeff, nice runs. How old of an Impala was it, because don't the new ones have like 300hp? I'm not saying they will be trapping high in the triple digits, but at least respectibly.
Too bad the guy in teh c6 was a prick though, probably just pissed his first race in his brand new ls2 ended with him getting walked by a sleeper.

And lastly, 209 and everybody else, just drop it, don't argue, don't continue down that line of comments, don't even mention the subject, just drop it and stick to commenting on Jeff's races. This is a perfectly good thread and doesn't need to be locked due to petty BS.

Thanks. the new impala has 303hp 323lbs torque and should run low 14s at 95-100 trap. I know of a couple GPs with the same 5.3L LS4 that have hit 13s stock. But no this was definitely the 94-96 impala with the LT1 in it. It is hard to tell the power of a car when you give it a 30mph headstart though. :lol2:

I have just gained a sponsership from ZZP, and will be adding some goodies including better heads, bigger IC, and a bigger cam. Ill be shooting for low low 11s on passive launches(1.7-1.8s) and 121+ traps.

Watchout trucks of AF! :evillol:

Good kill. Sounds like the C6 owner was a prick. I notice that alot of the corvette community has that entitled attitude about them. That's not to label all of them, but quite a few have been pricks.

Hope your tranny keeps up with all that power that you are making.

Geez man, that car is amazing. What's the closest run you've had? I was looking at 05 GTP's in my area and they are way cheaper than I thought. In Atlantic Canada, you can pick one up with 50k or less km's for like $22,000 CAN. What a great deal those cars are. I had no idea they were so easy to mod for so little cash.

Watchout trucks of AF! :evillol:
Right on, it'll be nice to have some competition :p Congrats on the 11.5, didn't see that, but then again, I've been gone on business for about six weeks. If I can get my fuel issues sorted out, I'll be back at the track in the next couple weeks, should be interesting :iceslolan

Nice race. FWD sleeper, right on.

No shit it's a truck.

Hey now...... :smokin:
