Well done Joe. I agree it only costs $$$ to MAKE big hp. But for a good all around performing car, you dont need or realistically want 800whp. Thats what I like about our cars, they do "decent" power yet can still drag/handle with the best of street cars. Look forward to your thread...

i think next year it if there is another dynoshoot out it will be better if some classes are setup...
Heck i mean, i am sure you tell yourself i can beat 650whp all day....
i dont think its weaksauce....but i jsut dont look at 500-600whp on the Z like in 2005-2006, just like i am sure you dont....you look beyond that.
WE have all year to debate how to divide classes... and for the $$$ factor as Alberto said, maybe we should have a class for those with XKRs wallet, or vs those that don't lol...and vs those with "shop" funds.

We all know your car could have made way more power.....you use what you needed to win......smart move.
Remember.....Sharif and I saw first hand how fast your car really is.
See you next your MS
of course man....I really respect the DIY effort and hope you push it more later on

Funny Jorge.....All joking aside....they should have classes.....I maybe wrong....but from what I saw.....A lot of people that would have put their cars on the dyno changes their minds after seeing the numbers that the Mad Scientist Corn Fed Beast put out
....Joe was just planning on getting the car dyno'ed to see what the Corn was doing....he was planning on running very low boost......he only turn it up more for us.

Showing up is what counts most when it comes to ZdayZ. Great job Joe, you dialed in what you needed to and even turned it up a little just as a crowd pleaser and XKR and I didn't want the fun to end.
See you next year

Come on Lar, how many Supras at the TX2K.. drove 311 turns then went on the dyno and made 1350rwhp? None. I think a z that went through the dragon and put down 650rwhp and then drove back through the dragon is very impressive. Oh, and all these cars were pump gas vehicles with Joe being the only E85 (which is available at select pumps) Z there. None of these cars were trailer queens.
Where were the SP high horsepower VQs?

This was the first year that we brought the dyno to Zdayz. In the end, I think it just added yet another activity to the event as a whole. We aren't trying to take anything away from the atmosphere that the organizers work so hard to create. Fun times driving amazing roads during the day - one big party among friends at night. Maybe one day Zdayz will be the venue to have a legitimate big guns horsepower shootout, but we were perfectly happy to strap down multiple bone stock Z's just to give them a baseline number. I know that they were all appreciative as well, and that's what counts.
Zdayz has always seemed to me to be an event for the community, by the community. It would be a little harder to get going without all of the sponsors involved, but our "horsepower shootout" was intended for the individual participants of Zdayz. Maybe next year we can try to get some hype going for a big numbers contest with all of the shop cars that ride in on a trailer instead of driving through the dragon and surrounding roads. We've got a few weeks shy of a year to organize that
I think Joe's car was a perfect example of what should have won our shootout, and we were happy to give him our "highest horsepower" trophy
I did have Randy signed up for a spot on Saturday afternoon, but we were competing with the car show for scheduling.

Bla bla bla! When it comes down to it they are all dyno queens!! With spare parts and jacks in the trunk ready for... you know.
Joe good job doing break thru stuff with the car, I just wish someone would help you with funds so you can be even more aggressive.
Now Joe sell your car and get an M!!

Greg.....I hope to see you and Hal next year. As I said in another post....the Dyno was the best attraction IMO at ZdayZ. Now that they are adding the airport event to ZdayZ.....it gives me 2 solid attractions to look forward to.
