Boys- be nice!

This was a stock block with forged bottom end. It had stock floppy rubber mounts, -hence the bad shifts because the engine would not stay in the same place with over 1000 ft pounds of torque. tires were used race tires, never got to tepm so they spun easily even over 100 mph. I know this was easy, and anyone could have done it LOL In fact it was so easy that no one has done it there without NOS BUt hey, what do i know??

Later,

LG

sorry if i came off poorly , i didnt know all the info 9 and honestly i didnt look into the info on the car . vettes just arent my thing though i have plenty of hands on with them. have you all tried drag bags in the rear suspension. and for an oem block with internals, you all actually did do pretty damn well . now i like it a lot better knwoing all of that .

No problem. It is our business so we work them hard.

this car was a customer's car who wanted to drive it on the street but he wanted to see what it would do in the Standing mile. So we did what he wanted and it was a blast :)

so not to worry. All racing is a blast, and who knows,"WHEN GOVERNMENT WILL END ALL RACING" to save some snail or something.

The sledgehammer had a Cd of 0.29 - the Z06 is 0.31. This was modified and should be a little better. The sledgehammer also hit top speed on a 7.5 mile long oval...the Z06 did it in just one mile from stand still. I'd say this Z06 would top out around 250 mph...but it's still not a production Corvette like the Callaway.

The Colani Corvette, based on the C4, has a Cd of 0.19, and went 254 mph with a 770 hp big block! It'd go 275+ mph with the Z06's 1000 hp engine :)

@hollerbacktyler the ls6 is a upgraded ls1 from the factory like the ls9 is a blown reinforced ls3. It has a larger throttle body , faster fuel injectors, bigger cam, better exhaust . and heads

I thought the all time speed record for corvette was the sledgehammer? 254mph

I don't know what it is about music in car videos. I would loved to have heard the motor. Leave the music to the music videos.

@ajfisher1 I am not good with engines at all. Quite retarded actually. But what is the difference between the LS1 and LS6 if they are the same liters? Would they just change suspension or something like that?

@Radioflyer97 I would imagine either racers tape, high quality duck tape, or gaffers tape which is like duck tape with a cloth backing. Ultimately some good duck tape will seal the gaps and help out.

I'm curious what kind of tape is used to cover the gaps in the body panels.
