"I BEAT A SS CAMARO . Big Fucking Deal."

good for u thats great

have i already not mentioned twice that i skimmed the thread and made a quick comment out of context?

:lol:


Wow, this is what happens when I'm away for a few days?

Ok, lets do some Automotive Math.

My car:
1972 Datsun 240z
Stock weight: 2300lbs
Modified weight: About 2100lbs with my 120lbs ass in it. (I'm a small guy :p)

I lost about 200lbs off the car by going with the SR20DET seeing as it's an all aluminum motor as opposed to my iron block/aluminum head Inline 6 L24 (Motor and Transmission, ECU, All wiring and all accessories only weighed 400lbs on the palet when it was delivered). I've also taken out the heater/fans and heater core, full size spare tire, all the spare tire jacks (I had two of them in the car, not sure why), stripped the rear interior. All that alone was about 50lbs. Removing the Fan, A/C Pump, Power Steering Pump and smog devices off of the SR20 lost me another 40lbs.

That's an approximate weight loss of 290lbs.

Still with me? The SR20 makes 205hp stock @ 7psi. I've got after market intake manifold, exhaust manifold, full 3" exhaust from the turbo back, Front mount intercooler, Electronic boost controller, electric fan, overly large radiator.

These motors are known to make 230-250 rear wheel horsepower on max boost, 15psi. With bolt ons. Which I have, And soon I'll be adding in a better clutch that actually grips and a lightweight flywheel.

Ok, you're still paying attention right?

We'll be pestimistic with the power gains, and just say it's 230whp. Add 18% for drivetrain loss (again being pestimistic).

230 + 18% = 271.4 net horsepower

Ok, so now we've established my 2100lb 240z. Has 271 horsepower at the crank.

Moving on.

2003 Cheverolet Corvette Z06
Stock Weight: 3200lbs
Stock Power: 405 horsepower
Average 1/4 time: Mid 12s... let's 12.6

Z06 power to weight ratio: 3200 \ 405 = 7.9:1
240z power to weight ratio: 2100 \ 270 = 7.7:1

Let's not forget that my 2100lbs is my race weight. Haven't even added in the weight of a driver for the Corvette.

Ok, I'm having fun... how about you? Raise your hand! w00t! Awesome.

Each month, the first saturday to be exact, we have a car meet at a local Pizza place. Consists mostly of Z's, but anything is welcome.

My buddy Terry's 240z with a 400ci Chevy Small block ran a 11.5 (spinning the first 100ft) in the 1/4 with Slicks, Open headers, and race gas. For the meet he was just running race gas. He said the car feels slower with full exhaust (which is obvious) and said it probably slowed him down .3-.4 tenths of a second. Which would put him at 11.8-11.9 seconds.

But we'll just say in street trim he's 12.5. We raced that night, and by 3rd gear I was slowly inching ahead. 4th gear I was ahead half a car and we shut down at about 110mph. The distance from which we raced was easily 1/4.. and it was slighlty up hill. And with my slipping clutch.


Thus... In closing.




I BEAT A SS CAMARO . Big Fucking Deal.


:1: :boink: :thumbsup:

i beleive allthrottle needs to say :sorry:

surpsised he ddint call BS... :bs:

i love these little smiley things...

actually fryman ur a shithead hahahhahahahahhahahahahah

u wont beleive how satisfying that was

i made a quick uniformed comment and i had like 10 diff people jump all over me so yall are the ones being immature instead of giving me a chance to read the facts at first yall decided it would be a better policy to call me stupid which i sgreat i dont care but seriously i think this thread should of been over a long time ago the issue is resolved : i made a mistake admitted it and thats that

[looking in the mirror] nooo i look like i always have. 140lbs of tristed steel and sex appeal.... :lol:

im done with this thread i will make no more comments in here besides that it is cool of how such an old car can be so fast

:thumbsup:

...i made a quick uniformed comment and i had like 10 diff people jump all over me so yall are the ones being immature instead of giving me a chance to read the facts ....

Well the experience you've had with this thread should teach you to not make any more ignorant statements around here. Making those ignorant statements is actually what's immature, not the act of having us "jump all over" you.

yea ur right i should go and read everyword on this forum before posting ok i will be back in 400 years when i finish

response to gritmaster post below

i know about power to weight ratios as good as anyone

thought you said you weren't going to post again?
And you should have at least read up on his car a bit before posting. Or at least read the whole topic.

Most people in here have done at least something to their car (I think :P) So don't go around calling people liars, and also, learn about power to weight ratios please.

i never called him a liar i just said the guy in the ss must of missed a shift, but now i know he beat him fair and square

Alright good stuff.
Guess this discussions all over :)

Yeah, I think we've beaten this topic into the ground...


Thanks for participating guys. I appreciate all the feed back. :thumbsup:
