Can a 4 cylinder beat a ZO6, you be the judge

[mustangnixon351]

With enough boost, anything can be quick...

[luciffer420]

yes a 4 cylinder can just look Here : "Brian Slowe 2 Dodge Shadow BSX" check out this vid i think you will have a different idea about 4 cylinders

[utubrjunke]

Pretty sad....Guy wasted lots of Money on that Vette

[ermcgrat]

Breaking news: A modified car can be made faster

More at 11

[LS1Heli]

I don't care if that toliet ran 9's. I'd be embarassed to even know some one who owns that piece.

[12salem]

11.1 against a 12.8 what was the question ?

[jeepmanification]

but when you have ALL those additions, modifications, it is no longer "mustang v. corvette".  If you talk add-ons to an engine, heck, a honda civic can beat a lambo with add-ons.

Look at a stock lotus 4 cylinder. a 4 cylinder lotus esprit will do 170 mph because it has a stock chargecooler and a stock turbo. Look at "lotus fast and furious" on youtube

[wkeil1981]

if the z06 dropped 2500$ into the his car ti wouldnt even be close

[12salem]

@wkeil1981 It already wasnt close 1.7 sec is huge

[KrazyKuul111]

they should do a lancia delta s4 against the zo6

[Sasunarulove]

I don't get it. 4 cyl cars can beat high end exotics if built right. Why does it always seem to be the Corvette they aim for though. OMG I beat a Corvette!! Achievement unlock? or brownie points. I am missing something here.

[rockstar6901]

funny thing is a z06 came factory with 505hp...thats not tuned.thats STOCK

[soonerman94]

@rockstar6901 funny thing is the corvette is 75g's vs the dodge shadow maybe 20g's, depending on mods. stfu dumbass.

[JIBMotorsport]

That trans setup is awesome. How did you build it? I would like to Build something like that for my Daytona.

[CarpathianCarl]

@JIBMotorsport I *think* there was a kit that replaced the brass 5th gear or something like that. You can pull your front drive wheel, and the remove the cover and all the workings are pretty much right there. Also, try and find a Shelby trans as I think they had 3.42 final drive or something similar.

[JIBMotorsport]

@CarpathianCarl I picked up a few shelby trans' and i love em

[turbofreakdotcom]

@JIBMotorsport It was a sales guys personal trans that used to work at Hughes Performance (They do not work on these old FWD trans anymore). Bought it from him with 3800 stall converter. Alto clutch packs, extra friction plate, manual valve body, governors removed. LOVE this trans!

[JIBMotorsport]

@turbofreakdotcom How much do you think it would cost to have one built? an average price from anywhere.

[BowtieLS6]

first off a z06 is a highway car. not a quarter mile machine. second you can work any car to be as fast as you want. lets see that 4 cyl stock against that z06. and if you put as much money into that vette as you did that peice of shit dodge or watever it was. then show me results.

[RicerEater1978]

@BowtieLS6 if he would have put the same amount into that shelby as the corvette owner spent to buy the car, the shelby would have run even faster. theres a spot in my heart for v8 american cars, just not for ignorance

[jesjie]

z06 

[87lancerguy]

I used to love pulling up to assholes in my 87 Lancer turbo 1 and stomping them before I sold it....Old turbo dodges might look like 20+ year old beaters but DAMN they pull hard when you get on it. 14 pounds of boost and some good tires is EASILY enough to pull on most of the 6 cylinder vehicles from the last few years.

[Archone128]

To clarify why ethanol may cause knocking its because alcohol requires air fuel ratio is different for alcohol than it is for gas. So computer calibrated for gas can get thrown off slightly with the mix. Not a problem unless you're a turbo car running high boost.

[rokmongo]

Missing the point, that car was like, $15,995? Add $2,000, got $18,000 into a vehicle and you have a car with more launch than the, well, I know nothing on Corvette prices, but in 2000 I think the Z06 was like $66,000, and has been tuned, so, more launch than the $66,000 car and only 1 second slower, which could even been fixed in a day without spending another dime (excluding fuel), so, my point is the 20yr older car is about as fast, 0-60wise, as the car that's another $48,000 more.

[bad65stang]

@rokmongo but if i was going to put 18k in a car i would make it a 5.0 foxbody or sn95 stang something that looks good you know

[rokmongo]

@bad65stang I think the point is for the ultimate sleeper. You see little granny's ride pulling up and then it's off like a bullet. Always been a cool concept for me. Have some guy laugh at your shit box, and the shit box just dusts their Camaro or w/e they think they have that's "badass" you know? :D

[87lancerguy]

@rokmongo Agreed. It's awesome pulling up to people in their "muscle cars" and "rice burners" and just stomping the shit out of them when they think they can take out the ol' turbo dodge. Might look like a two tone, decrepit, rust box...until all you see is taillights and my straight pipe. Still pissed I sold mine...but I like my bike =P

[MoparCzy]

@bad65stang That only works if you happen to think a 5.0 foxbody or sn95 stang looks good. Never cared for the looks of either one.

[wtfusaypunk]

you may wona look for a diffrent capp.... the zo6 is like 2 seconds fasster haws

[shadow22t]

Oh, and low octane fuels are more prone to have ethanol added, whereas higher octane fuels are generally pure gasoline.

[shadow22t]

Umm, running a lower octane gas doesn't have you go lean. Not enough fuel does.

Higher octane gas takes more energy to ignite meaning you need a stronger ignition system and meaning that said fuel is less prone to detonation (premature ignition) because it needs the high energy of the spark to ignite.

Low octane gas is easier to ignite and under high boost will prematurely ignite.

I didn't go to college and i know that...

[jakayoh]

what was your time? pretty impressive considering, almost had him till the last 1/3 he out accellerated you,maybe the vettes got better high end...

[turbofreakdotcom]

@jakayoh That run was 12.8 at 84mph. The modified Z06 definately ran great in the upper end. CSX engine was detonating from not enough race fuel mixed with pump gas so I had to lift out of the throttle around half track. CSX has run low 11's at 120mph. See turbofreakdotcom channel for the 88 Dodge Omni I tune. You'll like it.

[420witchdoctor]

Yes, a retardedly built, money-dumped-into 4 cylinder can beat a stock ZO6.

[turbofreakdotcom]

@420witchdoctor

Stock block,stock rods,stock crank $200

Forged pistons $450

Built trans $1000

Larger turbo $750

Head work $800

Slicks $350

The Z06 guy stopping by to shake my hand in the pits $priceless

[420witchdoctor]

So there WAS work done on the car, over 2,000 dollars worth. Corvette was stock. My point is proven again. Thank you. $750 bucks for a larger turbo?! HA! Rip off. Go pull a Holset from a turbo diesel truck in a wrecking yard for a hundred dollars Canadian.

[turbofreakdotcom]

@420witchdoctor LOL, You are absolutely right...... all "stock" Z06 Vettes run 11.1 in the quarter, $2,000 is a "retarded" amount of money to build a reliable engine at 100hp per cylinder, and everyone should spend 100 Canadian dollars on a unknowingly good Holset from the salvage yard. Thank you for showing me the guiding light. Please excuse me while I rethink my many years of research and development on engine configuration and tuning.

[420witchdoctor]

@turbofreakdotcom Yeah buddy, my granddad has a 14-acre boneyard of old to new diesel trucks sitting out there in Toronto area. I want a new FC convertible this summer :D

[HeimlichkeitKJ]

I don't get it did someone that doesn't know shit about cars put in the text in the video? Quality of fuel has nothing to do with going lean. Gross faggots on youtube talking about shit they don't understand.

[deathrehab]

wow do you think you know that much? quality of fuel means alot. cheaper gas has more water in it, makes it lean, secondly, with a turbo runnign so much boost you gotta have higher octane boost, or you so run lean. go to college like i did so you dont look like an idiot in front of everyone that reads your comment

[HeimlichkeitKJ]

@deathrehab "higher octane boost" what college did you go to that doesn't have english classes?

[mateuscapuera]

go to this 1 on you tube Sosa Performance street Talon Vs. SuperMex Procharged Z06 what i real 4 cylinder do with a zo6 heheh

[mateuscapuera]

Sosa Performance street Talon Vs. SuperMex Procharged Z06

go to this 1 on youtube and you see if the corvette can beat a 4 cylinder hehehehe

[cliffjumper1984]

So a professional Team who has money to throw in a car is better then an average guy building this up?

[CountingMagpies]

The fact that it even kept up with it and was ahead of it for most of the race should be embarrassing enough for that Z06 owner.

[vipeme1]

@CountingMagpies Why? The Z06 owner has a hell of a car and it ran 11.1 @ 126... I wouldn't be upset about anything.

[Adubz7777777]

too bad it was runnnnning lean! BIGGER FUEL INJECTORS!!!!!!!!

[MoPar7055]

Sure they can

[n45h0]

es automatico, por eso corre bien lento

[nitrousboy0311]

nope....
