wow that's a badass vette
That it is... looks retarded with big and littles though
Not to me it doesn't
Must agree with Speed Racer on that one.
So they make it.. it's stronger than a C6z diff case you just don't want to spend the money...
you don't just "insert hick voice" toss dem geerz in like an ole mufftang. the rear ends have to be professional setup it even takes the pros 4-5 tries on the bench to get them right.
the bottom line is "nobody makes gears for my car" is bullshit. also an upgraded LSD will be needed if you plan to do much drag racing at the 600 rwhp power level. and if you want to add a 200 shot. you might as well get a dedicated drag car to drag race because your going to blow the clutch, rear end or trans in the c6z now if it's a few passes here and there, that's one thing, but if your chasing a time slip that's another.
Speedracer, do you ahve flashbacks every time you see a yellow C6z of that poor guy that about died on route 50?
If by "they make gears for the C6Z" you mean "you can take a different rearend and have custom machining done to it to work with the Z after a few thousand dollars" then I guess I agree with you.....they do make gears for it....lol
Either way the car is a street car that wears many different hats...I cruise it on the streets with my son, take it to the drags, take it to autocross, take it to cruis -ins and I think it does each of these pretty well so im not going to sacrifice its tameness on the street for a few tenths in the 1/4 or anything else.
Car should go bottom 10's without a ton of work, probably gonna need a good bit of seat time to pull off a 9.....time will tell!

I was going to go further in detail about that "look" but Ill reserve my thoughts.
I do... Levi wasn't even leaning on him that hard, I'm sure he needed a change of unergutchies
Because retard?

You guys arent fans of the big & little look on the Vettes? I'll admit im not a fan of the look of the one posted in the video above but with certain wheels it looks good like the one I posted above.

Eh... only slightly better
They dont believe that cars that have good handling should also be enjoyed in a quarter mile drag race, because somehow thats a waste of the car. Bat shit crazy if you ask me
That's crazy...a vette is built for the turns but can make a lot of noise at the strip as well...we change tires for every aspect of driving...I'm getting a terminator and will enjoy it on strip,roadcourse,and the street...
I completely understand having them on at the drag strip (driving to and from also) but driving around all the time on them all the time... and my opinion on how they look hasn't changed.
Not bigs/littles but still silly, mainly because its a 28" tire (swapping to a 26 this year)

Steve had huge rear tires like that on his C5... he can chime in on how bad the handling was
Oh it's not good. I drove to the Waynesburg FLD's on them once... hated it. After that I figured out how to stuff all this shit in the hatch.
Should be a bit easier this year with the smaller tires.

I hate hauling that much crap around... So I just deal with the sucky handling when I decide to go drag racing. I about crashed on Rt30 trying to keep up with my friends GTR last fall.
would you pick up e.t. if you went to a 26??
Depends. I ran an 11.92 on my 28's last year followed by a 11.88 the next pass on a borrowed set of 26's. The 26's were Z06 fitment and too big for what I need they were 3xx wide, I think 305. I am going to run a 275/40/17 this year. They should be a bit better due to less mass.
The 28's bought me enough gear that I didn't have to hit 4th at the end of the track, I can do it on the 26's as well but then I'm pulling to damn near 7k just to avoid that shift. I will play around with it at a track rental at Quaker in June and see what nets me the best ET's... either letting it shift to 4th or winding out 3rd.

I haven't been to Quaker since 1999 in my 93 gt...nice track...you might as well just tub your vette...lol
