Just got to drive my first one. I freaking love that car so much power its not even funny

[bluemustang]

yeah i drove a newer z06 thing sits damn comfy and imma big dude but fuck was it comfortable and so accessible to shift

if i had the money id def pick one up in a heartbeat

[SpectorV]

they are definatly nice cars, and I thought about one before my cobra... but only two seater and all that... and my car does have more hp/tq (even though its heavier...) but it is easier to make more hp/tq with (cheaper = easier...) lol

/\ Mathematics FTW!!!!!!!

them things better ride nice and have loads of power for the price you pay....shit, there should be a button you push and a supermodel appears and fucks you

[SpectorV]

the used ones are not that bad, they are worth it for what you get, you get good hp/tq, good handling, etc etc not just its goes in a straight line

Are you sure that your car makes more power? An '04 Z06 is rated at 425 horse, but I'm not sure about torque. The LS6 is a pretty nice engine. Especially for a naturally aspirated, pushrod motor .

[SpectorV]

stock is 360rwhp360rwtq on average some higher ~ just the average thats 425/425 some are as high as 380-390 plus the bottom end tq on the 03/04 cobra is better just to much weight you also have to remember the Ls6 has a good bit of cubic inches on the 281 and it has a higher compression ratio.

You mean at the wheels... I thought the 03-04's were 390/390 rated from the factory and some put down as much as 380 at the wheels....

[SpectorV]

thats what I mean, 350-360 stock is the norm which means the crank should be 420-425hp/tq (ford just rated them 390/390) with the 17.5% drive train loss~

I wasnt really thinking about th z06 being under rated either which it is a tad.

Wasn't trying to be an ass. I actually meant to put the first part as a question.

[JROC]

LS6's were rated at 385hp for the first year and then at 405hp, even in 04.

2004 Chevrolet Corvette Commemorative Edition - Road Test Review - Motor Trend

Still a very fast car.

[SpectorV]

^^ yea but just like the stang the Z06 puts out more hp/tq than the rating. I was just thinking the 04 still had 385

Yeah, you're right. I was thinking 425 for some reason and didn't check my numbers.

[SpectorV]

what do they generally dyno at?
