Want to see me abuse a modded Z06??

Mr. Luos · #1 10-13-2006, 09:35 PM

Lightly modded. Exhaust, intake. Makes good power. Close to 380 at the wheels from what I understand.

I didn't do so well on this pass. 1.744 short time and I bogged.
DA was a little high as well...slowing it down a bit.

Out of the hole at 4100 RPM's apparently isn't quite enough.

Good kill Luos. He killed you at the light though.

Mr. Luos · #3 10-13-2006, 10:42 PM

He redlighted.

Haha nice.

You need to get a vid of you and a new Zo6. That would make for an interesting race (from a role assuming they have stock tires).

^^yes it would. u really need to stop being a baby and launch it at 4500!!!
lol. diddnt you say somethin about now having a bird's egg drive shaft, even though your only 20 miles from the track?

Mad_Maxima · #6 10-14-2006, 12:51 AM

Man, when you said you bogged, I didn't think it was gonna be that much, turn up the revs

Mr. Luos · #7 10-14-2006, 12:52 AM

I have the stock driveshaft.
I have heard horror stories about breaking them and stories about them making it through all kinds of hell.

I do drive to and from the track. I take the car, full weight, and hop in. The only difference is the drag wheels.
When I say full weight...I mean it. Back seat, spare, jack, etc. are all in the car.

I must have missed this post.

I have been wanting to run one of those cars since they hit showroom floors.
Probably won't happen unless there is one at next years Track Day.

awesome vid, and great #s.

Man are you sure its bogging because of too little RPMs??

Its hard to tell in the video, but is it "stumbling or fluttering" any? Becuase that almost sounds more to me like its not gettin enough fuel. My car had that problem. Not enough fuel pressure adn it would "bog" after the initial hit. Turned the fuel pressure up and problem solved.

Mr. Luos · #11 10-15-2006, 09:49 AM

Been keeping an eye on it, and it has plenty of fuel. No stubbling.
I think it just comes out of the powerband a little coming out of the hole from 4100.

chevytrucks92 · #12 10-15-2006, 07:15 PM

I see. You'll just have to up the rpms then, lol

I guess you're done for this year though right?

Mr. Luos · #13 10-15-2006, 07:47 PM

Yup.
Changing the exhaust a little for next season. Should have softer rear springs and new struts/shocks all the way around for next season as well.
6 months of waiting though. Unless I make an attempt at the track down in Peublo.

Ewww. Do it! Do it! lol

Ahh, that's about what I set out I guess. 5 to 6 months.

Mr. Luos · #15 10-15-2006, 10:08 PM

2 hour trip...if not more.
Maybe.
