AMS rates their horsepower at the crank. They actually make 1150-1200 at the wheels. A buddy of mine has one. His makes 1160 on C16 and the acceleration is pretty brutal.

@chaddub871 Like I said in my other post, the 2jz is not a "freak" motor. It has a fully forged rotating assembly and was designed for boost from the factory. I happen to know a guy that has a 540 BB running a Procharger F1R @15 lbs of boost in a '69 Camaro. His car made over 1800 rwhp and it was...

How many people noticed the '69 Camaro convertible? ;-)

I didn't read all the comments so this may be a repeat. That car is made by a company called Trans American Muscle or TAM, in Coral Springs, Florida. (transamericanmuscledotcom)

You drive a vette and you think that a Z06 roof is made of aluminum? The roof itself is made of fiberglass and is the part that delaminates and comes off (not just the Z06, all C6s had this problem until they updated to a better epoxy). The frame for the Z06 roof is made of titanium and is bolted...

Like some others said, It's a 6 cylinder. : )

HiTechOilCo my ass. You don't know the difference in the SL and SM ratings. For those that don't know the SM rating was bestowed upon us by the car manufacturers. The Big Three claimed the main lubricant in oil, ZDDP was causing damage to catalytic converters during warranty periods. Cats are ex...

The CTS does have a forged crank. LS7, LSA, and LS9 all have forged cranks, with the LS7 having a 4.00" stroke compared to 3.62" for the LS3 based LSA and LS9.

The orange one is not even a Z06. It is just a base corvette.

This is for the "yea, but the vette still got smoked" morons. The ZR1 @ 3350 lbs and 638 hp, has a PTW ratio of 5.24 lbs/hp.

The Cobra, with a iron block/head motor weighs just over 2000 lbs. Subtract ~150 lbs for the aluminum LS2. Let's just say 1900 lbs. The LS2 crate motors dyno higher than t...

The Bugatti Super Sport did 268 mph.

yea, no kidding. I'd rather watch paint dry than listen to him.

Good job Leroy.

@rootypootooty Here ya go Rooty. I guess the owner didn't like false claims either. It's for sale at dupontregistry for 120K with only 200 miles on it. It had 150 miles in the video. The for sale ad says 700 hp and this is after turning the boost up to 10 lbs from 7 lbs. The claimed 700 would be...

It isn't a rule, drivers choice. The track is only 1 1/2 miles long. Considering you hold it wide open for 1 second after crossing the finish line, this leaves you only 6 1/2 seconds before you run off the end of the runway. With nearly 2000 rwhp, this same guy went over 250 mph at the last Texa...

Most of you don't even know what you are looking at. 1963 is the only year they made the split window. That alone makes this car rare, but it is also a Z06. 1963 was the only year that GM made a Z06 until they resurrected the name in 2001. The 1963 Z06 was a factory race car and only 199 were bui...

I used to race motorcycles at Road A, back when it had the "gravity cavity".That trip down the back straight brought back memories.

Yea, but at the end of the day, you're still driving a Talon.

You need to adjust your DFCO and it won't do that.

That's like 124 mph.
