As far as Hennessey, they use to own the record but had to use a TT & NOS. Now, it's no longer their record.

Now when did Nitrious become illegal? Also my arugment is not pointless, the C4 Tranny in the LPE Vette is extremely strong, they are reliable while the henneseys are not. You cannot argue with fact man.
Also DG when you gonna give me a ride in your beast? Do you have a cam in it, because ive heard some Cammed LS1s and 5.0s and jebus christ. Talk about the sound of 20 OCC choppers idling.

What exactly does "its okay mbamgpwr is just a girly *****" mean? Are you trying to talk to me, or to everyone else? The "shift" button isn't very far away, try it sometime.
If you put a bunch of words together and end it with a period, that's not a sentence. You actually have to make sense (or cents?
). I'm not all too sure about your family life, but I don't think MBWorld is a place to discuss your nightly caps with "pops" or "grams". I think it's best if you just keep it to yourself... O'Doyle Rules!

I'm happy that you think the tranny in the LPE car is strong and the Hennessey car isn't. I think people live deep underground in the moon and dance on the top every 3rd Sunday.
You're just replying with your opinion. If you really want to make an impact on this thread, stop posting the first thing that you can think up that sounds true -- I want facts. Why don't you show me how crappy the tranny is on the Hennessey car? Let's see something, someone...just prove my facts wrong. Come on, you can even make up an article or something. Just give it a try...I wasn't even talking about Hennessey in the previous posts, didn't you get that memo? So, just give Jason Heffner an email and tell him how his tranny is gonna give out soon. I'm sure he'd really want to hear from such an expert on the subject.

thats just their 750 HP package which nets you 9.5, to get the same time ina viper you would need 800-1000 horses. Look at all the parts that say Forged. The Crankshaft, FORGED, the Pistons, FORGED. Not to mention its on the Corvette C5-R Block. So i guess now the viper motor which is based of a truck, is now stronger and more reliable than this LPE C5R motor which is based of a Racecar. Not to mention the new Z06 will be based of the C6R.

Jut to get back to the subject...I think the Z06 looks HOT. I was looking for a track car but was not really set on which car to go with. I've chosen to go with the new Z06 since I just bought my wife an Escalade with 0% financing and GM has this crazy thing where your next GM will be at the same rate so I put a deposit down on the Z06. I was told 2nd in line, but I don't really know what that means in terms of actual wait.

I'm happy for LPE, they're a great company. I'm asking you to show me how a Viper engine will blow before a Corvette engine. I want PROOF, not some blah blah crap about FORGED this and that. Let's see your facts...you say the Viper engine isn't as reliable as the C5R block. I know many tuners who'd say you're on crack. Your statments are just ingorant crap that you see as the truth.
Do you tune cars for a living? No, I didn't think so. So I suggest that you stop making stupid comments on topics which you have no idea about.

Not everyone can be BMW.
Also 7.0 Liters will give you a very very nice torque powerband.

Z06 sounds like it will be a b****in' track car. Light, plenty of power and maybe even good brakes (finally). I'm curious, will you order the Active Magnetic suspension or the Z51 package? Which one and why?
0 -> 60 in 3.8 sec.
Top Speed 200 MPH
2,900 #'s
Chassis & Suspension development by Pratt & Miller,
Aluminum Hydroformed frame produced by DANA
- 345/30x19 Rears
- 6 piston Front, 4 piston Rear Brake Calipers
- Cross Drilled (cast and camfered) Rotors (possibly Brembo)

DancingBenzos: I dont understand your question? Z06 is a seperate Performance and Mod Package.
Right, I knew that! My questions came from looking at the options available on the standard '05 Corvette.
ricky.agrawal: I find it to be more fun than hustling a 4000lb car around the track. Besides I used to have a dedicated Porsche 911 Carrera Cup race car and I'm spolied as a result of that experience.
