Ryan, why are you wasting your time on this thread. We're all big boys and know what racing entails. Thanks for the fast and furious references though. My friends always used to (and still do) crack F&F jokes about me with my "Nawwwwz" and street racing.

ryan0

You should. Since you don't seem to know a whole lot about what makes a car "fast".

I'm here to help.

ryan0

I thought you said so.

ryan0

I hope they keep it up. Cause when it comes right down to it, you're no better than a 17 yr old kid in a Honda.

jrcart

I guess I should ask before I assume, do you have the 6 speed manual or the Auto with paddle shift? What rear end gear are you running, the 2.73, 2.55 or 3.42? This will obviously play a big roll in the outcome. If you are running the standard tranny with the 3.42 I don't think you stand a chance in a 50-160 roll-on.

ItalianStallion

I'm actually a 19 year old kid in a Corvette.

Maybe someday when I grow up I can be like you . Right now...I just live my life one quarter mile at a time.

jrcart

Ok Mr. Road Racer, what do you drive and where do you live? You want to talk road racing? Now you are talking my language, want to put your money where your mouth is? Drag racing is not my forte, never was, never will be. If you want I can bring one of my slower cars, since I doubt you own a car that would be capable of being even slightly competative with my Black Sereis. Want me to bring one of my M3's? Let me know when and where.

ryan0

haha.. why challenge me?

i was just pointing out a roll on street race didnt prove anything.

what happened to Jangy simply coming out and dispatching a Z @ California Speedway 6/13/2008? The race sounds exciting but surely its not fair?? a 3100 lb Z vs a 3800 lb BS with the same HP? If anything mr. Z, you need to have a passenger and the Black series should be a solo driver. Cars should be brought close to equal weight to truly see which is more dynamic. This is how people race , well at least professionals , club racers, etc. The cars are classified based on HP and weight, the two cars represented here on this thread are in different categories. To make the race fair add a 250 lb passemger to the Z and drop 300 lbs from the BS, then we have a race. You must give the heavier car the jump or something? The BS needs more like 580 rwhp to equal the 520 of the Z...In the original POST JANGY had a HP advantage not disadvantage!!

LOL wow

ItalianStallion

Roll on street races happen to be the best (Realistic) way of comparing the speed of 2 cars so I don't have a clue what you are getting at.

transferred

It should be two people v two people. They've agreed to that already Juice. Weight and power etc was always the argument. Look Z and JC will have a great time so no need to stress on the particulars

Zlicious

Okie..we will see..

I will be anxiously waiting for your PM..

jrcart

Why challenge you? Because you keep butting in here on a challenge that has nothing to do with you whatsoever. You keep spewwing stuff like you are the resident expert, so I wan tto see if you know what you are talking about...talk's cheap my friend! Furthermore don't you think we all know the dangers of street racing? It's not like we are going to be racing through some residential area or down mainstreet of some town. We will find a place that is safe for us and will not endanger any innocent people.

ryan0

at this point.. i dont expect you to.

Zlicious

We already agreed on the race, agreed on the MPH (start and finish), and agreed that we will both have passengers. There is no more alterations for the race, just waiting on Jrcart till his car is ready to race.

ryan0

from looking at the arguments about hp/weight and the lack of understanding of transmission gearing.. you might learn something.

like i said.. im here to help.

and im sure you will be able to control the random family in a mini-van on the back road...

Zlicious

3800 lbs? Re read the some of Jrcart's posts...

jrcart

So should I assume you have the standard 6-speed with the 3.42 rear gear? I'm not trying to knock you or talk down, It's just that that's the worst possible scenerio for you if you want to do a 50-160 roll-on race. My close ratio 7 speed auto is going to rip through the gears flawlessly

Zlicious

The Z06 only comes in a manual, 3.42 final drive trans. There is no other option for the Z06.

Like I said, we will see. 50-160 it is..

ryan0

you can add what ever gear sets you want to that car.. but im sure you know that already.

jrcart

When this does go down, make sure your passanger is rolling video, I will have mine do the same. It will be cool whatever the outcome.

ItalianStallion

Awesome! I'm excited for this. Just please make sure the passengers take good videos lol. Props to both of you for setting this up
