Kong X Port C6ZR1 vs 3.8 Whipple GT500

I am impressed. 3.8 whipple is a bad ass set up.

Sarcasm aside those both sound incredible.

I'd take the C6ZR1 over a 2020-up GT500 any day. How much lighter is the C6ZR1?

What's a Z like that make? 800ish? At 3,350# it weighs ~800 lbs less, but that's a lot of power to overcome + virtually no driver skill factor.

Great driving for the ZR1!

Wow,....is that GT500 "really" making over 1,000HP?!?!?
I would think it would be a lot closer than that.

The C6ZR1 is such a beautiful car. Beastly.

With that setup, 920-950, 1000whp with Meth.

Klaus has the same setup and makes just over 900 on a conservative tune.

C6 ZR1s are just badass, it's the only Vette I'd ever considered buying. And yes the ZR1 owner did some good driving.

I have pretty much the same set up and am at 900.

The s550 GT500 is a HEAVY ****ing car... and not remotely as aerodynamic. Im not shocked at all it got gapped up top.

I also wonder how the DCT is handling the 3.8. Shifting seems off. I believe Palm Beach had issues early on with their 3.8 set up.

I know Lethal has one with a whipple thats in the 8s. But Im not 100% sure how everything is working out with the new blower. I really have no desire to do a Whipple so I havent done alot of research on blower swaps.

Also, If theyre only getting 1100 with the Whipple, that seems like a waste of money.... you can easily get that on a ported stock 2.65

Yea... Thats why im kinda confused... its not like traction and 60ft times were an issue here.... somethings not adding up.

Yes, I hear the same about the DCT.

I’m having a hard time believing a 3.8 GT500 (running right ) can’t best that ZR1. Yes big weight difference but give that bolt on GT500 are making around 1k , wouldn’t they 3.8 blower make a lot more ? I mean the car does 130+ stock and should be around 145 with that big of a blower ? I’m no expert just asking
