Great observation...

Exactly :)

I have the place to do it. Bever Run, PA :) i will host it. you all can stay at my house. it will prove the ride of the car and ease of driving over the trip up here then road course and drag strip them both. :mrgreen:

I say run for Pinks!

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Yeah I double that.

You wrote too much I did not read it, to be perfectly honest.

Haha, Im sure I would certainly not do that. Because then I'd have to go through the hassle of selling it just to buy more parts for my car :)

OK since i came back to this thread for a bit i took the time to read what you said, I figure I'd at least give you that for the book you wrote.
Just one thing to say, I dont care about what you think. ill take my $30,000 plasticky car which can go fast both straight and around bends, and you can have your $45,000 straight line American car, ok?

Its just a matter of preference in the end, but you should really go test drive one, hell you can use the extra money to mod it and make it faster that your vette. be adviced though, you need about 5 times more money to make power on the STI than you do on the vette. Hell if I spent as much money on your car as on mine I'd probably have a nice 600RWHP+ beater.

I quote the main points of what it is you were trying to speak so you can read them again and observe how absurd they appear.

still nitrous with a motor that can handle it will win every time. IMO. there are kits out there to run 500 shot of nitrous and you would need about a motor making around 400hp (just building it to take that much) so you looking at 900hp easily and way under what it would take to do that any other way on any other car.

but back on subject, a 600hp STI would be a handful. a 600hp vette would not be. BECAUSE.......the chassis and suspension were DESIGNED to handle the high power. 300 and 600 hp is a big difference.

that really makes no sense RC, I know what I said and you know what I meant.. Would you like me to explain in simpler terms what I meant? I hope not..

I was really considering a Z06 as my next car, but after seeing the kinda people that drive vettes I think I'd rather buy something else...

Anyway, since I feel like a big boy now after telling you how bad your car is today, I can continue on my way. Who do I sound like? :fist:

G35 > Vette

SWT: Are you trying to tell me that a regular vette has a better Chassi than a car that is intended handle well enough to be tracked out of the factory? Not to mention 600hp with variable AWD is one thing and 600HP with a rwd car is completely different. An STI with 600WHP will be far more stable than a Vette with the same amount of power. Look at it this way, would you rather power out of a turn in a vette with 600hp or in an AWD STI with 600HP....the answer is rather simple in my book.

^^^ i am saying that a vette is able to handle power easier, a high high levels, better then a four cyclinder. plan and simple. HANDLING is another topic.

I thought you considered a Corvette an ill handling car,why would you even consider a Corvette anyways? And a C5 or C6 is not just a 'straight-line machine anyways.



Even back in the 1980's when the C4 was being produced, these cars were being driven both on the road courses and autocrosses, straight from the factory. Corvettes were a hit with their owners back then in SCCA events, as they are now with the current cars. That's why back in the day the SCCA banned them from their racing series- they dominated it. A year later Chevy came up with the Corvette Challenge Championship.
Different strokes for different folks. Personally, I am a big fan of both cars with their unique drivetrain configurations, but you are assuming that a 'Vette would be a major hand full with 600 HP with the stock suspension- yes, just like an STi would be with a stock suspension as well as the drivetrain. With the 'Vette, the mods that would need to be given I would think would be larger wheels and tires, some smart choices in suspension parts. The Getrag 6 speed would be able to handle the power, but I guess with any car that puts out such power, a stock gearbox in any car would be living on borrowed time, but the 'Vette 6 speed is a stout piece.
In the end, what I'm trying to say is that a little mods done to the 'Vette, with 600 HP could be a fun, rewarding car on the track. A car that you could power out of a turn with 600 hp with confidence.

Chap - you are just being a complete knob - you have chosen to continue some absurd argument and continue it, long after it was resolved that YOU had taken everything out of context and got all pissy.

Yet you continue to be angry for some reason.

Again - the entire original "confrontation" was a non-issue - you got all pissy because I told it like the world saw it - you bragged that the STI is bullet proof at the same time you posted about 3 engine failures - thats IRONY, as in IRONINC - just because you failed to see the orginial valid HUMOUR in the response you got all pissed - I have moved on a long time ago, yet you continue to be a juvenile 19 year old about it. Kind of expected I guess.

Are you reading what you type?

Are you even aware that the very same chassis that the C5 rides on - the very same chassis -s the base for the C5-R - that's right - not a similar design, or a copy design but the same actual chassis - that is how "stable" and rigid the hydroformed frame is... unlike a flimsy uni-body. You did know the Corvette is a true body on frame didn't you?

Again - are you even reading what you typed?

Wow - I am amazed at just how much bad information the intardnet generates.

This is as absurd as saying Nissan 350Z is an inhernetly better platfrom than the 575 Maranello because it does well in drifting... the comments have no bearing on each other.

One car is a uni-body that in racing from needs a rollcage/bracing to stop it ripping itself apart.. the other is a rigid chassis - in the case of the Corvette a hydroformed welded steel frame, and the F550/575 a box-section welded steel frame.

Again - the comments are comical in their incorrectness :)

Not to mentin the 505hp stock car that in Tiffs words, is better on the track than a 599 - I guess Tiff forgot to tell us that the STi is even better than the 599 and the Z... ;)

LMAO
