Well I keep hearing that gt500s need 120+whp advantage to run with a stock c6z :poke: Well I decided to put it to the test. Ran my friends c6z which should be making ~450. My car made 515 before cat deletes in cool weather. It was hot and humid out in south MS the night of this race. So I imagine it was making 510-530 for the race as it was right after a wot pull with no cooling mods.

So this is what 60-80 whp difference looks like with competent drivers in both vehicles. Half a car to the c6z 45-125. Gopro was placed in the middle of the car facing slightly backwards.

It was only half a car because you both let out. It was about to get ugly my friend. And you took the hit. Bring the excuses... Lol.

Actually he was about to shift into 4th which would have slowed his pull. I was almost out of gear anyways. I don't moon race my friend ;-)

Its not myth busted. too many variables. Would prefer to see back to back dyno runs on the day with the same driver, but thats just splitting hairs.

Good video and nice powershifting!

Was their another mustang on the other side of the corvette racing too?

LOL you were about to get freight trained from the looks of it. 4th is where the C6Z starts to show it's muscles.

Edit: nice shifting though LOL

At the most there was 80whp difference. I would say that it is does bust the 150+whp myth.

I always required ~80 HP/TQ advantage just to match the lighter C6Z. In the 100-120 advantage range, I would beat them.

Yea that seems like the norm. I was probably only up ~70whp in this vid. I have no cooling mods currently and it was hot and humid out. I plan on making this pig lighter and making that gap smaller.

Thanks. The exhaust is quite so the whine is the only thing you can hear. Yes the other mustang was a friends vortech 5.0. He was ahead and jumped in as we went by.

The race was over regardless. I am out of gear at 127 because I am limited to 6250 from lack of injector. When I get some injectors I will pull it to 130-135. Just not into the moon racing thing unless the cars are making big power.

:lol1:

Oooooooooonnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeee..................... 2 3!

As was already stated you stole the hit and he reeled you in and passed you. Clean start puts him 2-3 cars in front. You need another 40-50hp.

Wrong. Cooling mods alone would have made it damn close.

Doing 40-140+ pulls in 12x mph cars :thumbsup: Not hating on it. Just not my thing.

what do you mean by 12x car? your shelby can only go 12x?

So if you don't win in 2 gears you quit is what your saying LOL

Actually 2nd 3rd and 4th is 3 gears. I am saying the car is geared for 130-135 but it is limited too 127 until I get it back on the dyno with bigger injectors :thumbsup:

This. You were about to get walked on the big end.

Good driving to hang in there though. :beer:
