C6 z06 vette whit 800 rwhp
This could be the perfect all round setup street road course and dragstrip all whit one engine.

Impressive beast !! :-) I wonder what it is on the road :huh:

That's all well and good, but now I need to see how it puts that power to the ground. Building a Dyno Queen is the relatively easy part. It becomes an entirely different challenge making all of that power work outside of the garage setting.

I agree whit you. Making the 800 whp real world hp is the challange. 8-):-D |
Those types of cars are literally a dime a dozen out here - just yesterday 2 super charged C6 Z06s where at MTI - this is nothing special - honestly - great to see and hear, but so unbelievably easy to achieve.
The supercharged V8 is wellperfected, these are almost to the point o fbeing "easy bolt together" systems when tackled by knowledgable shops. The problem as Minacious points out is - "Where do you want to be able to use the power?" All these supercharged/turbo charged street cars suffer from dreaded heat-soak on a road course, and that results in pulled timing which ends up with less power to the ground. This car will make an awesome street car, and woul dbe ok for 3 or 4 laps at a time on a road course before needingto be parked to cool off (same is true fo rall the high HP super/turbo cars). Now an 800rwhp NA setup would be neat ;) |
Why super charge it when you can go NA
Very leanlier power curve btw. |

A 800 whp na setup is something for you. |

Now remember, just because you run lower boost does not mean you get rid if all heat soak issues - it just means you can run a little harder for the few laps you do run. I did a lot of soul searching before I settled on a NA setup- and in the end, I prefered to pay more for an NA setup that makes less power than a cheaper blower setup. Street running is one thing, but road race course stuff is much tougher on equipment. I would love to have a 1000 street car, but I know it won't be "all that" on a road course after 5 minutes of thrashing - he'll even the almighty Veyron has to come in to cool down after few laps ;) (Message posted via iPhone) |
Proper cooling can fix allot of problem's on forced induction car.
But you have to run lower boost. :-)8-) |

The very point of "running lower bost" defeats the purpose of having a super/turbo charged car to begin with. To put things into perspective, in 2002 Lingenfelter had a 660bhp Twin Turbo C5 Z06... peple bought them, people loved them - LPE built them - but in a road race situation heat is an issue. Fast forward 5 years to 2007. A number of people have 660bhp NA C5 and C6 Z06's - without heatsoak issues. Guess which cars are prefered to be used on road race courses? You see, it doesnt really matter how little boost you runn (for a turbo) or how big of a pulley you put on the supercharger, compressed air heats up - this heat soaks the engine, the heat soaked engine sufferes from pre-ignition with regular fuels and wold self destruct if the cmpoter never senses the knocking and pulled timing - resulting in the car being hot and slow ;) Didn't you ever figure out why Best Motoring only ever run 3 laps for the their tests? It's because none of those modded turbo cars can run more than 5 laps before they get hot and slow down :) |

But in those 5 laps the turbo cars will smoke as shown most of times in best motoring. And that best motoring run allways a small numer of laps something i did notice before. Speaking of best motoring you schould enter your car the american touge event i love see if your corvette can hold it's against the forced inducted competion. 8-):-) |

The main thing is turbo lag on a road course. Race cars have anti lag systems, but a street car doesn't. even on low boost with awesome heat dispersion.
|
Na, I haven't seent he guys staying on track long enough for the lag to make a difference ;)
