Just wondering what you guys think.
Some old guy in a 5.0 wants to race me. He says hes got an '86 stock 5.0 and that if he beats me by three lengths or more I give him $300. WTH? why would you ever do this. Well i was w/ my brother and he was driving since i dont want a DUI, and the guy was like allright man Im gonna go get my car. This dude was cracked out seriously. Well he never came back. Im going to go find him today. Dam I want some easy money. If I can pull a '02 stock GT then a 5.0 should be nothing right?

Re: Just wondering what you guys think.
WRONG question to ask....they are gonna eat you alive. Note for future reference do not under any circumstances bench race. You are gonna get flamed hard. BUT just race and find out.

Re: Just wondering what you guys think.
It's all about when your car reaches its peak RPM. That's how a 200 lb/ft car can dust a 400 lb/ft car on the track. We've all seen it before.
Horsepower = [Torque x RPM]/5252 a 200 lb/ft car that shifts at 8500 RPM has 323 HP. a 400 lb/ft car that shifts at 4000 RPM has 304 HP. The car with less torque will trap a high ET. That's an exaggerated example, but you get the point. When you shift, your wheel torque is sliced in half. You want to push your peak torque further along the curve. That's why Formula 1 cars are so insanely quick...they have 1L engine but reach peak torque at 18000 RPM. sorry, you probably didnt need a physics lesson but I just wanted to sound smart for a change I would race him, forget the money for now. Throw in a good launch and you should be fine. |

Re: Just wondering what you guys think.
There are regulations that restrict maximum engine size to 3.0 litres, and all cars must have ten cylinders, with a maximum of 5 valves per cyl. No forced induction is allowed. It is up to the indvidual teams to see what kind of engine/car they can come up with within 3.0 litres. Displacement can vary per car, and we know how bigger isnt always faster...

Re: Just wondering what you guys think.
yeah it just seems like you would use the displacement to your advantage. espiecially when the stakes are so high. i cant understand that if you could have all the same mods on your 1L as the 3.0 that you wouldnt use the larger displacing engine.
thats so crazy that a tiny little 10 cylinder can put out those insane revs. I knew that they redlined in the teens but i had no idea that they were all N/A and that they were 10's. I have always thought they were V6's.

yeah, but those racecars have big bores and very short strokes.
