Is it possible? 775 hp corvette?

[rmorse]

Lol, I was just looking at it too. Saw at least 3 Lambos, plus a ton of Ferraris.

If done right it should look sweet, don't know bout the gold though.

Mind if I see the stats on Z06 owner's preference?

LOLZ
BTW he said it was 12k rpm sorry for my mistake!

with only 775hp it doesn't need a large spoiler. not many cars do and just come with them for looks, no mater how bad that may be. sounds like someone with some $$ but no taste. 775hp from a LS6 isnt very hard, if it even is still the LS6 block. heads, cam, and supercharger or nitrous would get that easily.

260mph is most likely not gonna happen. they have the standing mile in Texas where some supped up cars (TT gallardo with 1200hp) that top out at 230mph. maybe 260kph

the only way he is spinning 12000rpm(assuming 1200rpm is a typo) is with a solid roller motor setup

Thanks Sean, THAT'S what I meant to say regarding wings. Love the pics at Laguna Seca. Dang Jose! It seems you're somewhere cool every month! Quit posting pictures! You're making me feel like such a loser!!!

Here are some pics... please dont flame... i know y'all wont think its pretty cuz of the spoiler but to me it still looks nice.
I am sorry the guy never said it was 260, he said 236 sorry for the confusion I caused! is there anything else i should ask him?

 

[rmorse]

He is jerking your chain.


Decent ride though.

Not true. Nascar motors have around that horsepower and they are hitting 200 on the superspeedways. At that speed (regardless of horsepower) rear downforce is a requirement, not a cosmetic option. On a nascar vehicle, the car is almost uncontrollable at that speed if they knock a spoiler end-cap off... let alone the whole thing. I race in circle track division that hits about 75 on a 1/3 mile track. The whole field is G bodies. I'm not allowed to run the stock spoiler on a Monte SS (you know the rubber one that is about 2 inches tall?) because it gives me an unfair advantage over the regals and cutlas's that don't come with them. While most people buy spoilers for cosmetics, when used correctly, they are a very functional piece of equipment. Spoke wheels on a vette, however, that is another story...

Agreed

Agreed, and with the gearing required to get to that speed, the car is going to be totally useless for anything under 200.

It's just not gonna happen with that motor. The ls6 is still a pushrod motor, and they are well known for bending rods over 6250 rpm (missed shift, etc). They just aren't going to hold up to double that rpm. I've never personally seen a pushrod motor that could get above 10000 without floating the valves. And even at 10k, it is WELL past the torque curve, anyway.

edit: 236 still aint happenin
2nd edit:
1. His speedo only goes to 200.
2. ZO6's have round tailpipes, regular vettes have oval
3. Thats just a stock vette with a bodykit. It is probably still governed at 160.

 

[Tom500]

I really dont like it. I quite like vettes but the light surrounds and the gold, oh and that wood, body kit and wing. I think the standard car looks far better. I think there are very few cars that look better after being "upgraded"

 

[Mr. Grumpy Gills]

agree on that he is jerking your chain. he has a stock intake on the motor, which is only tuned for stock hp levels. it wont flow much more air to support that hp levels.
maybe its on his wish list to have a motor with 700+ hp


BTW the plastic wood trim is way out of place in that car

i do think the wing looks ok, it isnt gauty and doesnt stick out.
the rims work with it, they dont look out of place

 

[fatcat]

frnchjeep, have you ever ran your Monte with the stock spoiler? Did u think the car handled different?
