Re: C6 with some mods
hmmm....droping the clutch to make it chirp.... i guarontee you i could run the same time or faster in that same car without squaling 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.... it can be avoided and the same times can be ran and you dont put extra ware on your tires, clutch, drivline.... im not saying feahter the clutch out when going into 4th....im saying you dont have to drop it like a hot potato and keep the thottle on as much as that guy was to run the same times...

Re: C6 with some mods
The C6 is the sh!t. Down talking it only proves how bad you wish you weren't a broke ass bitch. Every design aspect of the C6 is competitive genius.
Show me a car that has the curb weight to handle turns at speed like a C6, around the same price range. I would go as far as to compare the C6 to a skyline of equal value on a road coarse, and would see a damn good race. Its not a super car but I garuntee $100,000 dumped into it and you would rival an F50. PS: Give the tire chirp a rest, the owner is probably just happy to have bought a car of uncommon quality and doesn't submit thought to whether or not it should grab each gear. The car was perfectly driven, say you can do better? Show us a vid. Does your car grab 4th? Oh my bad i geuss it doesn't because you don't want it to, faster times that way huh? Even if your car could im sure you would jump right on it, with hopes of eliminating the "problem". wtfever Last edited by 7M > V8; 03-03-2005 at 10:28 AM. |

Re: C6 with some mods
Elise has better handleing than the c6....the c6 handles great but the elise is one of the top handleing cars in the world. the only way a vett would beat an elise on a road course is if the course was largely straights but when there was a corner it was very tight and you ahve to accelerate hard out of the corner.
the vett has better acceleration abd a higher top speed but the elise has better handling.... The vett is still nothing to mess with (and for the price if i wanted comfort/daily driver i would go with the vett, for the track i would go with the elise and add some type of FI) as far as dumping 100,000 into a vett to make it rival an F50.... it will never happen. in the 1/4 mile yes but the ammount of engineering that went into the F50 it would take rebuilding the vett from the ground up. and even still i would rather have the F50 because i may stand a change in an F50 going 180MPH+....plan on dieing in a vett. remember that the F50 has a carbonfiber capsule that surrounds the driver/passenger in the eenof a crash...just like F1 cars...the F50 is a formula one car with streetable tires and legal emmisions.... |

Re: C6 with some mods
i've seen a video where an elise chases a C5 around a track for 45 mins and never has a chance in hell of getting around him

Re: C6 with some mods
driver plays a large part in road racing. Elise will usualy pull faster track times on the more curvey tracks than C5's and C6's with the same driver. but im not bashing the vett...if you look in a previous post of mine on this thread i made an anology of the vett to the elise. like i said...if i was looking for a daily driver that could hit the track on weekends the vett would be a good choice. if i just wanted a track car and cruise when i feel like driving fast in my little 150hp go kart. the elise would be my choice.

Re: C6 with some mods
I know that was a bold statement about the F50 since it is the closest thing to an indy car you will ever see on the streets in the US, unless you see a mclaren f1.
180 isnt too much for a c6. if your worried about death, get an 8 point cage. |

Atop the sports-car mountain!!! OMG, do they realize that the cars they tested do not begin to scratch the surface of the "sports car mountain"!! Cars Tested: 9th: Merc SLK 350 8th: Nissan 350Z 7th: BMW Z4 *he he* 6th: Viper SRT-10 5th: S-2000 *ROFLOL* 4th: Elise *ahem, underrated!* 3rd: Carrera S coupe 2nd: Boxer 1st.......wait for it C6 vette I would think that there are more than a few cars missing from this testing line-up for the and I quote "Best All-Around Sports Car" compitition. Now that I read your link you have to watch my video. Here's what an Elise really can do... http://www.gti18t.com/files/leluc.mpeg BTW turn 3 on this video has serious pucker factor.
