LG Motorsports C5R Drag Race Corvette

[FallenRipper94]

damnn those tires jusst spinn x)

[6V92TA]

Imagine if those tires hooked up right. 13 seconds and he was fishtailing like mad. Corvette Forever!!

[88monte2005]

Too much power for the strip

[TTMoparV8]

wtf?! that's what I call overpowerd! corvette<3

[purasperronasaqui]

Buy new fn tires dude lol

[peladetoparati]

no no no no no we invite u for the 1/4 mile race not for straight drifting god dammit do it again

[TheSexex]

not bad ^^

[Xjetao]

filmed with a potato

[5spd5thgen]

He was so far outta the groove it wasn't even funny

[TheShadowStalker07]

didn’t turn on TSC

[originaldriver]

@TheShadowStalker07 That car doesnt have TC. Hell, it doesn't even have ABS.

[musvlehead]

so much power but no control...that thing needs a pro driving it..

[PsychoLegoMan]

@musvlehead No, it needs a circuit to run on...it aint made for a strip or any standing start. Watch a video with a car like this at Le Mans and see how fast it is..

[ZR1Terror]

Damn, did this car some out of hell??

[Wildkkat1]

Put a gear in it say a 4:30 x 1 ratio...and try again...

[tweakiepop]

Sounds ace! cheers

[tweakiepop]

Sounds ace! cheers

[TheXxtim7xx]

this is a stupid question but can someone tell me why the car is jerking when it shifts gears. is it the rear end??? thanks.

[5219sg]

@TheXxtim7xx

loss of traction due to the chassis being unloaded when the car is shifted.

[TheXxtim7xx]

@5219sg thanks bro.

[midknightshade]

@TheXxtim7xx The hard shifting is caused by excessive line pressure in your transmission. There's different causes, but this is the beginning of the end for your tranny. A shop will tell you that it will need to be overhauled. I'd recommend purchasing a remanufactured one and swapping it out.

[yupitsfast]

real driver that car run 8.90

[faster1k]

@yupitsfast "real driver that car run 8.90"

the car was not made to go 8.90s. the correct reply would be, "with proper setup, thats an 8.90 car".. (correct suspension, correct gearing, etc.) ....... in your defense, its definately an 8.90 car, supposedly this cars been 152 mph after some tweaking.. lol but listen to how tall 1st gear is (at WOT) its like launching in 3rd with a lock-up clutch

[trr2051]

the car would have ran in mid to low 9's if he had traction and didnt take off so easy.

[zr1zora]

hahaha i dont know if know it but this fing car was so fast at lemans yrs ago like late 1990s that porscxhe and ferarrai wanted it kicked up out their classes

[ZX10RWSB]

OH! MY! GOD!  Grin factor of 10....

[originaldriver]

I think this car hates traction.

[Dominator5515]

@originaldriver

it's gt1 race car made for endurance races like le mans , no traction control and slick tires do you imagine how difficult is to start with full throttle ?

[originaldriver]

@Dominator5515 ha ha! I can only imagine. Im sure that cam has some freakishly "peaked out" powerband (probably doesnt start making power untill 5-6000rpms)

That car doesnt like this track at all. He'd have an easier time trying to train a cat to walk on a leash.

[DJHIXXYISH]

nigga

[TVRnGTR]

c5 definately is the best looking corvette

[ZR1Terror]

@TVRnGTR Hell no, it's the C6

[TVRnGTR]

@ZR1Terror bleagh that thing is uuuuuugly no offence but the ZR1 i hear people bag on about imports with gay looking spoilers rims and bodykits and say they look gay then i look at the zr1, if imports with that stuff look gay the zr1 is the fricken mardi gras, $120K us its something like $390k over here and the zo6 is half of that just -100hp no logic in why the zr1 is better what so ever.

[Shadow301177]

hahaha too muche power this car no control^^

[800hennessy]

@Shadow301177 No control? It's a road course car. It's pretty controlled when it needs to be.

[gomezpiro]

A lot power , need slicks tires more biggers !

[rompn4x]

The sound of that engine gives me goosebumps.

[TheLTXCamaro]

its not a drag car dumbasses so stop bashing it, its built for cutting corners at high speeds.

[sonicstep]

@TheLTXCamaro Like this you mean:

1/8 nitro rc crash at crystal palace

w w w.youtube.com/watch?v=El9VlsgQ­Fas

[redtesta]

road course car probably just having fun on the short strip. Not set up for quarter. The response on that thing is insane.

[Scootermagoo]

come on man drop the hammer ... wicked car of that there is no doubt

[jmoney321123]

Facts: 1. no n/a v8 engine sounds better or has better throttle response than the c5r motor(except pro stock in NHRA)  2. c5r heads are some of the sickest heads ever

[IronwolfWS6]

Haha the ET and trap speed look totally mismatched. Awesome car

[designer1240]

Nasty

[mk1kieran]

Nice Sound, Should get some heat into those tyres though!

[Christos79]

What a monster!! And he had to hold back or he couldn't handle the car... such power is just amazing!!!

[SlickRaccoon]

13.5 with style. sounds sick ! that car would be blast to drive down on i95 near south beach on a saturday morning , car fans from A to Z and superbikes would hate your ass ! lol breaking necks.

[vfIskullangel]

This car was goofing off and still ran a mid 13.5. Not many Ricers can do that. lol

[cali240sr20det]

@vfIskullangel 13.5 is child's play....look at that f**king trap speed!!!

[AndyWillow1989]

@vfIskullangel poor enough money into a car and just about anything can do it

[72GreenGoblin]

Gotta Love that sound it's music to my ears!!

[TheEnragedHawk]

Hahaha, I wish I could go goof off at a track and run a 13.5.

[Racerjoey1]

@TheEnragedHawk No kidding. Running a 13.5 with a lightweight road race flywheel/clutch combo is pretty impressive. The whole rotating assembly/driveline is so light it barely has the inertia to get the car off the line.

It sure sounds sweet though.

[saiintsliick]

Torque monster. 

[articberryvodka]

messiest 13 sec car! love it,,,, wonder how much power it makes

[mortemdrummer]

fake

[frappementdeaoko]

Fuck them bitchass Cars

[srvbluesrip]

Okay everyone, my guess at motor comes from the description. C5R! That would imply GM Racing block. 427 cu in, hipped aluminum, steel billet mains etc. $7,000 for JUST the block.

[autobodysteve]

if this corvette could grip the road man it would of been 8 seconds man

[2825call]

Guy cant drive lol

[Eyeolus]

@2825call God you're fucking stupid.

[BMX4LIFE733]

so much motha fuckin torque

[KevinSaale]

a mid 12 eating the tires off the whole way, thats pretty sick

[kahoalii95]

lol too much torque and horsies to start with... but its still pretty badass

[derek94gt]

jesus

[jellyjamacain]

Woah check out that thing get sideways!

[NamingTheMonster]

Damn... that car just drift the 1/4 mile in 13secs.

[SuperBrandango]

he still went 125........

[666Superbeast666]

this is soo jeremy clarkson driving. POWER!!!!!

[h22adohcvtec]

lol a 13.5 pass with no traction what so ever.... would love to see what it could do with traction

[ProgramXable]

Fucking american cars suck.

[mrrodneyalong]

@ProgramXable then why are you looking at clips of them? I don't cruise around on here looking at cars made by daihatsu. I look at the cars I am interested in. So why are you so interested in Corvettes if you think American car are not good cars.

[MrPowersA5]

@ProgramXable ... Uhm... did you notice the trap speed? With that traction it would eat most cars lunch in the 10's easy.

[originaldriver]

@ProgramXable Holy shit, your stupid as hell.

[thepaddonman]

@ProgramXable as usual you let moron's on the net and this is what happens



[bobkin611]

too much power to handle for you bud ?

[paull00600]

nem tem controle de estabilidade :?

[nativebrother]

I thought they were going to do the burn out but he kept going! lmao!

[vinnydee2010]

wow a 13 second burnout

[OReactor]

That is one heck of a car. I would love to drive it on the street for fun, just like they did down the track for fun.

[ChevroletCorvetteC5R]

watch and learn cock sucker

[d00mofhumanity]

God damn with 125mph pass (it obviously has more in it) thats easily a high ten second pass with some seat time, not bad for a car not setup for straight line power!

[wlsheehan]

freaking mal hey

[SuperInline6]

It's not a drag car, it's a road race car

[johnpagecontraband]

that car aint meant 2 drive in any gear bellow 3rd

[ManOfDaCentury]

well u know the person didnt know how to drive it when he runs a 13 at 125 miles an hour

[iPROFITDON]

@ManOfDaCentury What you see here is how slick cold slicks are. watch?v=reyflUcgusA&feature=re­lated same vette.

[gitrdonedavid]

Why would you not only put yourself but your car in danger of some major damage by not having the proper equipment for this there are specialty made tires for drag racing doesn't take long or much money to get them awesome car no brains.

[ofnarcr]

holy slower than my car..

[Curveball]

@ofnarcr

watch?v=reyflUcgusA&feature=re­lated

[ofnarcr]

@Curveball okay

[frostbytey]

@ofnarcr it was sideways the whole way down the track. i didnt hardly hear him open it up. Those tires weren't hot and that car has wayyy too much power. I bet it runs low 10s with traction. maybe even mid 9s

[wc3john]

@hollowhead9 your thinking ALMS and the le mans series, Grand am is smaller, more technical tracks with smaller engines.

[MrPatbull]

Is the car side pipe ?

[MrClarityWorks]

It's got the MPH for 9's.. freaking awesome.

[derrickfromsomerset]

Love road racing .... love the c5r's go watch some mike skeen videos he's a hell of a driver

[leakedfromtv]

you jewbags gotta remember... that's still 125+ mph with a car configuration!!!  try a config that's built for drag =)

[pfcrobinson]

is this thing runnning on crack?

[crownvic330]

Damn!  It was so hard to keep it straight on those hard tires. I wonder what it would do with a set of drag slicks? No traction + letting off the gas and still trapping 125? Very impressive.

[legendarylt1]

c5r is a monster over 40 wins in the lemans daytona and american lemans together maaking the standard and making the c6 zo6 platform what it is today go gm!!

[SuperBrandango]

wow, still went 125 while spinning halfways down the track, and it has all that down force as well

[nallen100]

isnt this the same car that rolled out a mid 9 with no launch. and some of these posts are just wow. you guys ever watch idiocracy, were almost there

[SICKJ0KER]

Ya. Too bad there's no racing that exist that's just about power. All the power in the world + no traction = fail. This is a FAIL.

[tuugfo]

@SICKJ0KER its a lemans racer dumbass, you have to get heat into the tires, this thing won lemans 40+ times, i think it has plenty of grip, its not meant for drag racing u dumbass

[papaown]

@SICKJ0KER

You're a fucking idiot, stick to Hondas

[designer1240]

Jesus that thing revs quick.

[V8powerusa]

nice man,

[ABUS3DON]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[gabrielebin]

very nice

[SICKJ0KER]

Don't stock corvettes run better times lol. Alotta speed and acceleration is impressive. Useless power, even on the track! .....ya not so impressive.

[antipeacemilitias]

@SICKJ0KER i think this car can run high 9's given a proper setup and launch. And don't forget this was just playing around with a road racer not a strip ripper. According to the driver's comment on the other video of this car which BTW did a 10.xx @140MPH with a bone stock tranny and ET streets while he was slipping the clutch. This motor is a normally aspirated 346CID that made 535RWHP. So... i Don't think any Honda in the same class would pull those numbers :p

[dbpR32]

garbage

[n9athan]

LOL they did a 10.7 or something with a z06 stock engine no drags, just headers, intake and a sequential manual transmission... which cost 25k, either way their cars are insane and you know you wouldn't care what the 1/4 mile time is if you had this you would be taking it to a track

[antipeacemilitias]

@n9athan Mmmm will to be more exact the record holder for a BONE stock 2006 C6 Z06 with no mods whatsoever not even a muffler is as i recall jamie furman that did 10.98@129MPH on the Factory issued "crappy" Run Flat tires back in 2007 but yet again someone must got a lower time since than.

And also there is another guy Ranger, i think he still holds the record for BONE stock Z06 on Drag Radials only no other upgrades but the DR's 10.74@129.50 and a 60ft in 1.59 seconds

Still this C5.R \m/

[Williamakashadow]

He juss got really fukin pissed that he didnt get grip and was like FUCK IT.

[sippincoladas]

cold tires maybe?

[hallis1]

Once again stupid people all over the internet. This was just taking their, i believe Grand Am Series, car to the strip for some fun. And if i also remember correctly that motor was only 314 cubic inches. It's not designed to shoot down a 1/4 mile. Put this thing on a track like Mosport or Seabring, get some heat into those tires, and look out! Again, they did this just because they felt like it! It's a bitchin' video.

[BLACKLACDTS]

@hallis1 pretty sure the c5r is 427ci

[scrfce123]

@hallis1 I don't think this beast even needs defending! It ran a mid 13 without traction, FFS. With proper grip, it could probably get into the mid to high 9's! Best of all, it can do this whilst maintaining driveability around the twisty stuff. Amazing machine.

[mrmactknife]

Beast of car! But 13 seconds! WTF I could drive that car faster than 13 lol

[antipeacemilitias]

@mrmactknife That thing was allover the place with wheel spin tell 4th gear and yet did a silly 13.5 @ 125

[neurocytohemotoxic]

What the fuck is the driver doing!?

[monsterhonda13]

@neurocytohemotoxic thats fucking hard to drive

[antipeacemilitias]

@monsterhonda13 it's no Vtec Civic :p

[antipeacemilitias]

@neurocytohemotoxic these guys just pulled the car from road racing and were having a feel for it on a 1/4 not really going for a record or anything. To be honest i'm happy they displayed such a delightful pass

[drewnashty]

Man that thing sounds badass, too bad the driver can't keep it under control

[djtentwenty]

@vnamvet. That is hilarious and true. Great post.

[Helldorado2008]

What use is there to all the power in the world when you lack any kind of control?

[joeyisaapimp]

@Helldorado2008 couldnt of said it better if i tried

[lovesara850]

holy shit that thing spun the whole quarter

[oldironmike]

serious eargasam

[bigrobbie1972]

I can only imagine what that time would've been like if he had some serious grip on those rear tires. I'm thinking high 8s.

[DerrickLouie]

@bigrobbie1972

hahaha what?! You're joking right? High 8's lol. Stop playing Need For Speed and get realistic. The car trapped 125 with a shit launch and would at best be maybe 135-138 on a clean run. Thats a low 10 with suspension setup for drag racing not road racing. It'd be lucky to run a high 10.

[Cenon2007]

@DerrickLouie The other dude said it;s ran in the 9s

[vnamvet]

At least he knows WHEN to lift..............

[the3rdeye88]

no way that thing can hook with that extreme of a road race suspension...ever seen the nascar on the salt flats?...

[antipeacemilitias]

that thing according to the owner is a transAm road race car with about 530horses and it did a 9.4 @ 138 in another run

so hell'ya this run is my favorite

[bigrobbie1972]

@antipeacemilitias OMG! Only 530hp! It sounds and performs more like 750-800hp! That driver is amazing. Most guys would've been off the track on that first hit.

[spannerpro]

@bigrobbie1972 There are average drivers all over the world that can drive a 600hp car down the quarter without looking like there having a fit behind the wheel.that was a terrible run and that driver sux badly.Its a drag race not a drift comp

[antipeacemilitias]

@spannerpro it's just fooling around with a road racing platform no big deal enjoy the asphalt ripping sight

[35057]

LMAO! NOT a drag car!!! lol Wrong track, dummy!

[masterz28]

oh my god.

[rt2000pilot]

DAmn I miss these cars

[c32amgftw]

haha! Fought to the death, and won... sort of.

[praetorian2150]

holyshit, i would never get in that thing

[sixty9fordkiller]

corvette's should all come that way from the factory!

[sergioskatendless]

fuck music to my ears shit sounds beautiful

[mazafuka]

that is amazing sound

[vette00009]

man do you think you need some suspension work done on that car or something, never have I seen a car fishtail down the track as bad as this car,

LG motorsport coilovers ?

Bon

[simpleman68]

Hey Lou! Just browsing drag runs and saw this one.

Sorry about the Michelin issue. Keep us posted!

[LGMotorsportsLouis]

This car is a "Trans Am" car, full tube chassis, 302 cubic inches, hewland 5 speed dog box, fab 9. Its a road race car. That year, 2001, was a memphis for the annual F body gathering.

Engine specs are 830cfm 4 barrel, 302 cubes, SB2.2 heads, tri Y headers to 3.5"-5" Y pipe. This car in this trim made 560 rwhp/420 rwtq. It ended up going 9.4x@ 138 with a short 1st gear and a good launch.

Louis

[scarface115]

that thing is out of control! even after all that wheel spin it still passed at 125 mph!

[jhor86]

13.5@125. damn that thing must be scary up top

[zunetrav4]

wow
