and that's with just 350 crank hp

the guys putting down 450whp would be around like 520-540 or so crank hp so we'd hope they'd get even better times

 

Thanks for your help...but no need to get pissed. I didn't mean to make it sound like I only care about 0-60, I just saw the thread and had some questions regarding the thread topic--which is 0-60. Chilllll homaaaaaay.

 

Not pissed at all. I just think its one stat that means very lttle to do with overall vehicle performance.

 

I understand...I agree with you actually, but it's a pretty bada$$ stat nonetheless.

 

on that we can agree!
But AWD is really wheres its at for 0-60

 

AWD drive launches

Get a good AWD launch and the d@mn car will spin the earth in the opposite direction.

 

At least we got some numbers, and that is not even with slicks or drag radilas, just with nittos. That seems great.

 

Is this possible on the Z without getting too much toe in? My contact patch on the rear tires looks like I am only getting good contact on about 60% of the rear tire and the car is not lowered. PM me please!

 

4.8 with Vortech SC and stock 18's

 

In cool weather my Beltimer tells me 5.1-5.3sec 0-60. With FI under 5sec would be easy.

 

thanks for all the info everyone ... i do understand that the 1/4 mile is more important ..who races for only 5 seconds i just never seen any 0-60 numbers. I drove a wrx sti on monday and was just wondering what it would take to get those type of numbers.

 

Just get this:

http://www.caranddriver.com/article....rticle_id=9148

0-60 3.3 sec
1/4 mi 11.8

 

With that article posting of the Noble, seeing that it can run an 11.8 in the 1/4 mile and its 0-60 was 3.3sec, some of the guys in the low 12s in the 1/4 mile should be getting to 60mph in the sub 4 sec. range maybe high 3 sec depending on how fast it takes for their turbos to spool. although for the 0-60mph Im assuming the SC cars are getting there quicker since their power is all throughout the power band.

 

wow the nobel is a very light car!

 

It's light because it's missing a lot of safety equipment.

 

Anyone considered launching the Z in 2nd? With as much as 400whp, it would be gear better suited for optimal traction. Not to mention you're saving 0.5s with no shift. Vipers, new Z06 vette, run first gear to 60.

 

I was always curious about this also. I'm getting 370whp but can't put it on the groung properly. I think with the SC the Z is off balanced.

 

wow 1st gear to 60mph? amazing

 

yeah how mush HP is too much to teh ground on stock tires?
I mean is 330WHP just as good as 370WHP from a dig?

 

under 5 seconds for me.
