The Geo Metro. Throw in a GNX motor and you destroy everything. Nuff said.

Re: Best Street racing Car Ever?
Nope. My personal opinion is going to be something that can handle well always while at the same time catch traction without a bloody swap of tires. IMO, there are a lot of choices but I would defintately say for street racing it would be something AWD.

Re: Best Street racing Car Ever?
In all fairness the C6 Z06 is very nice, but I would go with the GTR just because I'm more of a import fan and that the GTR is overall a better car even though mod for mod it would get walked by a Z06 at speeds above 120mph+

Re: Best Street racing Car Ever?
i get what u r saying, but remember the corvette zr1 is the fastest production car ever to go around Nurembergring noorcheife, i dont know if u know ehat that is, but its a 20km long circuit with 160+ corners. u r not going to be the fastest around there without good traction and handling. Thats why i wud stil go corvette, killer around corners, massecerer on straights.

This Thread is about street racers. if i took a 599x and a zr1 or zo6 and moddified both of them, the zr1 or zo6 will easily surpass the 599. the ferrari is already the best it can be, hence its a proper ferrari. the zo6 is just a simple block that can take much more power, you can do much things to it. many people have got it to over 1000hp easily and i know of one person who took a 6.0 version to 1986hp. U will never get that from a ferrari. it would break if u tried. the ferrari is amazing, but if u buy the vette and spend the rest of the money that u wud of spent just buying the ferrari on modding the vette, nothing on the road will catch u. Period.

I can, off hand, name about ten or fifteen local guys that have taken modded ZR1s, bent them over their knees, and spanked them like a little bitch. ZR1 is awesome, don't get me wrong, I've been in a handful and got some seat time on one, but it is not the end all be all of cars, ever.

Re: Best Street racing Car Ever?
That cost vs mod argument is very hard to argue since I know I would take the 599 gtb or gto over any corvette modded or not. The stock 599 GTB is no slouch either being able to break 130mph in the 1/4 and all stock and thats not even the gto version. And yes you can mod exotics just ask the folks over at underground racing where they twin turbo the gallardos to break 1000hp regularly. If you want to talk about all out speed there is a twin turbo Ford GT that has been doing the standing mile and it absolutely destroyed the record that was previously held by a supra. The old record was 246mph in the mile, the Ford GT posted 267mph against a strong headwind!! They have broke 270mph during practice runs. If you are going to judge the ultimate street car based on highway rolls than that Ford GT is the king, followed by the Supra.
edit: Cassiesman beat me to it, I had no idea UR had finally beat the supra. So yes the new order is TT ford GT, TT Gallardo, than large single turbo supra.

Re: Best Street racing Car Ever?
So are we talking about production cars now? Or cars that can be modded to be anything? Also, are we talking about straight line performance? Or are we racing in the twisties?
All in all the Vette is an amazing car in it's own right. But, ultimately, if you are talking about "this car being modded for the price of that car, it will beat it and anything else", you pretty much have opened a major gap for almost any car to beat any car out there based on who has the most money. Kinda pointless. Confusing stuff, but I am really enjoying the pace of this thread. Carry on chaps! |

Re: Best Street racing Car Ever?
Yup, SW finally bit the bullet and went all out. Ross from Dynosaur went down to the Texas Mile as well in his "slow" car and he beat everyone except SW.

If you do turbo either car, thats a entirely different story.... the z06 can take a turbo without much trouble, but more prep will have to be done on a 599. also another car that i think is good is an Elise with a bigger engine dropped inside, that could go like a rocket on straights and also around corners. maybe the chevy 572 v8 would do well there :sarcasm1: dont think it will fit.... Keep up the good posting guys

Re: Best Street racing Car Ever?
The elise would be horrible for a top speed run. The car is too small and too light with too short of a wheel base to be stable at those speeds. Also the reason why you get such large gains with light mods with the vette is because they were not optimized from the factory. The argument is kind of lame because it is such a open ended discussion. Also your saying that you put turbos in a vette and it will do 2000hp. Guess what kind of cars comes to the standing mile competitions? Turbo charged 8.4 liter vipers and Turbo charged Vettes. The high powered cars in those competition all average around 1500whp. The thing that is holding the supra back is gearing. The supra at 240mph is redlining 10K in 6th gear, but its aero and stability is superb.

Re: Best Street racing Car Ever?
most street races occur from about 65-135 or so. there is rarely an instance where going over 140 is needed, or used for a race unless its neck and neck. no one really races from a dig anymore. the closest thing to a dig these days are 20mph rolls so people dont just spin at the line, as turbo and high hp fwd cars are common now.
basically your looking at what can accelerate to 135 or so the fastest from 65 give or take.
